Ask the guy who's having frozen corn dogs for dinner

I don’t like corn dogs, so I have to wonder – did you choose the corn dogs over numerous other things available in the kitchen, or were they about the only thing available?

It’s about all we have right now until we go shopping in the morning. It was this or mac & cheese. I do like them enough to have them as a first choice though from time to time.

Have you ever had them for breakfast with maple syrup on them? My kids’ school serves “pancake sausage on a stick” with maple syrup that looks just like a corn dog, and I think they’re basically the same thing. Except half the kids try to put ketchup on it instead.

I want to go to there.

Can you pin-point the exact time in your life that you realized your dreams of success were crushed, or are you still hanging on to them?

And what kind of Mustard are you enjoying? 'Cause that is the only acceptable condiment for a “Corned Dog”.

Hang on, let me check the time stamp of your post. Yep, that’s when.

French’s yellow.

Ok, that’s it for me tonight. I’m still happy to answer questions but I think we’ve covered about everything.

Waaaait a minute there, mister. It sounds like you weren’t eating corn dogs at all, but corn chickens. I demand my money back.

The ones I had at my school were actually pancake battered with breakfast sausage in the middle, instead of a hot dog. We called them pancakes-on-a-stick.

I usually didn’t like it because they are quite calorie dense, and thus less filling. And sweet stuff in the morning always makes me crash before lunch. And both the batter and sausage were sweet.

Not a question, but some trivia for you: corn dogs are called “American Dogs” here in Japan. Ask for 'em by name!

Hot dogs made from chicken or turkey have no flavor. And corn dogs made of chicken or turkey don’t have any flavor except the corn batter. Might as well just eat some corn bread.

have you ever walked on the wild side with some mustard with mustard seed or some horseradish? those aren’t the mustards for every mustard use but they do have their place.

This is bullshit! I have numerous corn dog-related queries, and I should not be punished for having stumbled into this thread tardily.

Bullshit, I say.

ETA: Oh, I see you’re still happy to answer questions. Never mind.

Why would you allow such a treacherous form of food into your home? You never know what could be lurking under that innocent-looking exterior.

How much sodium in those things?

ETA: Thanks for starting this thread. I’m always so impressed when people are brave enough to open themselves up to scrutiny about such personal topics. Godspeed, my man.

I love me some horseradish, but I’ve never tried it on a corn dog. I think that if I do push that particular envelope, it would have to be with an old-fashioned hand-dipped dog from a county fair or Hot Dog on a Stick.

I agree with you, but they actually do a nice job w/ the flavor on these. Nowhere near as good as a beef dog, but decent compared to pork or turkey. Speaking of beef dogs, there is nothing better in this world than a Hebrew National all-beef hot dog. My wife belongs to the Tribe and calls them “Jew Dogs.”

Nuh NUH…nuh NUH… nuh NUH nuh NUH nuh NUH nuh NUH!

We’re gonna need a bigger stick.

Way too much. 540 mgs which it tells me is 22% of my daily value based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Here are the rest of the stats per serving (one corn dog).

Thank you so much. That means a lot coming from someone who has so bravely fought a similar battle. Granted, your battle was against those frozen TGIF appetizers, but we’re all brothers and sisters in this war.

I’m pitching my life to TLC for a new reality series tentatively titled “DUCCA ON A STICK.”

Careful, Mustard… I have Ketchup waiting in the wings.

Well… carry on, then.

I gotta get me some.

Do you also enjoy the occasional traditional frankfurter on a bun? Are your condiment selections similar with the two?
mmm

I shall be heading there right after work. I don’t think I’ve ever had a corn dog that wasn’t at a fair.
