I grabbed a corn dog the other day from AM/PM and the cashier asked if I wanted mustard or ketchup and then when I said no thank you, gave me a look like I had grown a second head.
I like the corn dog. It's not just a sauce conveyance vessel. And I only sometimes eat the stick too.
I'm sure you could make a corn dog analogue that's close enough without cornmeal based batter. Heck, use breakfast sausage, dip in pancake batter, deep fry. Best pigs in a blanket ever. 🤤
1400-1600 calories, only 180% of daily sodium requirement.... If you had a light breakfast and it's the only other thing you eat that day it's not that bad. You might want to get some more fiber (Not the stick though), and a multivitamin wouldn't hurt.
I think I was a year into living on my own when I realised I could eat whatever I wanted. I have a distinct memory of walking from the microwave at work with two paper cups stuffed with dogs, and more between my fingers, like a corn dog wolverine.
I probably had malnutrition because I didn't know how to feed myself for shit lol no wonder I was starving
The worst parts of the animal that can't be used in other meat products, covered in raw carbs, and of course, deep fried in oil. America.
(edit) I looked up some pictures, why is the bread so fucking thick? Is it supposed to absorb the oil or is that just a happy coincidence? Absolutely disgusting.
One time when I was a teenager I ate 10 pre-packaged chicken corndogs and my burps were lethal from 30 feet away.
Between the cornbread, chicken and cola I drank for that one meal...I created something horrifying in my stomach.
And when the burps stopped...there was calm before a storm...of terrible farts that went on all night. I was waking up every 10 minutes to unleash a vaporized demon from my anus and going to the toilet every hour to unleash a liquid one
It's cornmeal, so not the typical fried batter. It has more of a slightly sweet taste that imo compliments the hot dog well. Not for everyone, but I wouldn't count them out without trying it at least once.
