Yes, quite real, and if they are to be considered uniquely American, I'm proud to own that.

I make really good chili. It has beans in it. Now, we could put that over hot dogs, but it's really kind of a waste of good chili. And the beans don't go as well with the dog, at least not for me.

The best chili for hot dogs, to my thinking, comes out of the A&W vat, or the bin of the street vendor, or from a can of chili, no beans - and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that those are all the same.

And you pretty much have to have a fork nearby. That is, if they're made with the right amount of chili. Even though I'm in a no/low-carb mode at the moment, the chili slopping over the bun and inundate the bread just adds to the experience.
I have an awesome recipe for hot dog chili.....no beans.
I'm willing to share it with all who attend my Superbowl party.......

I am not what the original post probably means by "American" (meaning, I am American, from the continent, not "American", from the USA), but here is my take.

I usually have both mustard and ketchup on hot dogs. I actually did not know they were not meant to have ketchup.

However, I like mustard better than ketchup, so I could eat a hot dog without the latter, but hardly without the former.

Are chilli-dogs a real thing or just a faux-US thing marketed in the UK.

If anyone ever visits Berlin (last time I went the Wall was still up) have a curry wurst. Like a hot dog but with ketchup mixed with curry powder on it. Very good from memory.
I actually had chili dogs in Cincinnati with buddies years ago,at the place in Cincy that claims the best chili cheese dogs..they were okay,but not really my taste,too much cheese for me..

I suspect my immune system has been built up from my growing up years when leaving food out on the table/counter much longer than nowadays wasn't a big deal. But now that you mention it, maybe they did put it out when they gave us our order. I don't remember having to ask for it and was thinking how nice it was not to be thought of as a weirdo for using mayo on french fries.:smile:
You ARE a weirdo Marsha! :barf: Mayo on fries!!

Cant remember the name of the place,but that may be it GNT,they also did spaghetti noodles with chili and cheese,but no beans in the chili..think my buddies were disappointed that I didn't like them as much as they did,like everything,aquired tastes..except mayonnaise on fries,still a little queasy on that one.. ;)
