Which is a worse "tradition breaker"?

Traditions like records are meant to be broken, so which is a worse breach of tradition as well as being less tasty?
 
Spreading mayo on a burger or putting ketchup on a frank?
 
I detest both not because of tradition but because my taste buds don't like it at all.
 
 

..there is no more grievous sin than putting mustard on a burger...

..or pineapple on a pizza...

How about ranch dressing on a hot dog?

I put mayo on my burgers...

Nothing wrong with mayo on a burger... or mustard, for that matter.  Try a burger with chopped hot cherry peppers (Talarico's hoagie relish) and either yellow or brown mustard.

Ketchup on a hot dog is like beans in chili. It's more fun to argue about than it is to really care about.

It probably depends on whose tradition you're talkin' about- yours or theirs.

I put mayonnaise and mustard on my burgers.

None of us are perfect.

I like mayo on my burgers too, just don't stick on the lettuce, tomato and onion.  :-(

I'm with Michael Hoffman, both mayo and mustard. Also dill pickles, onion and tomato.

True. Of course those of us who are perfect would say none of us is perfect.

I don't fuss about what someone else does to their food, just as long as they don't do what I don't approve of to mine. Nobody cares about my opinion of what they eat, just as I don't care about theirs.

Yes, I'll admit, it does irk me a bit to see someone top my delicious eggplant parm with ranch dressing, or a good steak with 3 types of bottled sauce.... but that's their business. Who am I to intrude? I keep my mouth shut.

Tradition, schmadition. Feh. If it tastes good, eat it.

I've put mayo on burgers.  Rarely.  Just not my thing. Maybe because I don't really like mayo in the first place.  I can't eat a burger without mustard though.

And ketchup was made for hotdogs.  Lately though I've forsaken my true love for Sriracha hot sauce.

IMO, mayo on a cheesteak trumps both of them.

Not Miracle Whip?

Mayo on a cheesesteak? Ughhhh! Don't like ketchup but don't really care if others put it on their food as I like Tabasco on a lot of things that other people don't.

My feelings exactly.  I would really prefer it if my mother would not insist on dousing any green leafy vegetable I serve her in vinegar, no matter if its hot or cold, but she likes it, so whatever.  As long as no one makes me eat something I don't want, I won't make them eat something they don't want, and everyone will be happy.

Me, I have way more important things to worry about than whether or not the guy sitting next to me puts mayo on a burger or ketchup on a hot dog.

I would go nuts if he put mustard on the burger.

Those who think they are perfect really offend those of us who truly are.  Just kidding. 
 
I personally prefer my burger with extra mayo, onions, lettuce and tomato, salt and pepper.

Well, when I'm in North Jersey and I'm eating an Italian hot dog, I put ketchup on, because there are all those fried potatoes tucked in the roll with the hot dog. I really don't put mayo on a burger, but I don't care if anyone else does. Listen, if you enjoy it, use whatever condiment you want on whatever you want. But then...thinking about it, I DID see someone order mayo on their cheesesteak, and well...that's just not a good thing. Talking from a regional point of view, of course.

There are situations where topping choice may matter, like when John Kerry ordered Swiss on his cheesesteak during a Philladelphia campaign stop.

On most hamburgers, mustard, ketchup and pickle are my condiments of choice, but on a bacon/Swiss cheese/lettuce burger, mayo is the only thing that goes on it. Ketchup on a hot dog? I don't think so!!

My favorite was Hillary chugalugging beers in a PA blue collar town.

I don't recall that. I do, however, remember her doing shots of Crown Royal at a bar in Indiana.
 
From CNN:
CROWN POINT, Indiana – After a day of taking shots at rival Sen. Barack Obama over his "bitter" remarks, Sen. Hillary Clinton relaxed in Crown Point, Indiana and took a shot of a different kind – Crown Royal whiskey.
 
Clinton was at Bronko’s Restaurant having a beer when the bartender asked, “You want a shot with that Hillary?” After some deliberation, Clinton settled on a shot of Crown Royal, a Canadian whiskey.

Kerry still carried Pennsylvania despite his faux paux.

I'm surprised no one has gotten flagged yet.  Some pretty disturbing things going on in this thread.

I like Thousand Island on my burgers.
 
Only mustard on hot dogs!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I would call these a break from tradition, as I don't see condiment preference as a tradition.  It's a preference and everyone has a different preference.  Sometimes I do like mayo on a burger and ketchup on a dog.  I am a big condiment person so I like variety, often switching it up based on my mood.  Some people prefer no condiments.  Whatever floats your boat
