Seven Corndogs

57 comments

My kids only eat the dog. They rip off and discard the delicious corn coating like it's a banana peel. Why don't we just offer them regular hot dogs, you ask? We do, but "they don't taste the same." Monsters. So now we don't buy corn dogs because I'm not paying corn dog prices for hot dog meals.
- My partner does almost the same thing, she eats the skin off completely and then eats the hot dog part you know, like a psychopath
  
  Yup that's frightening behavior indeed
  
  I can't fault her for that. I eat sandwiches crust first. She's basically doing the same thing.
- You check the ingredients? Corn dogs are often chicken sausages, whereas normal hot dogs are usually beef/pork?
  
  I imagine you gotta get that hint of sweet and gritty leftover corn wrap, too, though. And the crunchy bit at the bottom. It's a delicacy that's hard to re-create.
  
  Yea, my husband has tried different types of hotdogs, but hasn't had any luck with them
- try the nekked hot dogs on a stick for the kids. just tell 'em you took the 'gross skin' off already for them.
  
  Tried it. Even tried making my own batter that I then rip off. It's not the same was the response.
- Fun fact: the term for corn dog in Japan is America dog.
  
  TIL 🌈
- That is when you start giving them regular hotdogs and tell them they were pealed corndogs.
  
  They won't eat them. So corn dogs/hot dogs just aren't on the menu anymore.

I feel like I'm constantly being called out on this site.
- I like to dip mine in milk

Is that like, just a really shitty scotch egg?
- now that I think about it, yeah, pretty much

No mustard? Fuck that, I'm out.

Yeah Mr Moneybags where would I even get 7 corndogs?

Dammit, now I’m craving seven corndogs!
- Gross. Nine is where it’s at

Why am I suddenly craving olives?
- Right? 30 to 40 olives to be precise

I'm no American, but I'm assuming they're using cornmeal in that batter. I can't eat cornmeal and will certainly regret it.
- you will certainly not regret eating seven corn dogs
  
  Its like he refuses to read
- Just eat the sticks then.
  
  Thanks for an actual meal tip! I'll try

Rawdogging seven corndogs
- Rawdog?! They're cornbreaded for your pleasure!
  
  Your supposed to deepfry them rawdogs

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
- No, officer, it's "Hi, how are you?" not "How high are you?"...
- Can I? Because I want to.

Cooking up seven corndogs seems like more effort than making a quick meal.
I don't even have a corndog cooker.
- You are not supposed to make them. Just eat 7 of them.
  
  If I'm going to the trouble of picking corn and catching a dog, I'm not going to eat them raw like some heathen.
- Oven works fine. Though at that point a frozen pizza or frozen anything would be better.
- Wait, people make their own corn dogs from scratch? I assumed people just bought them frozen and heated them up in the oven or air fryer.
- An air fryer is a game changer. Unbelievably convenient for preparing 7 corndogs and other lazy meals like grilled salmon filet and asparagus.
  
  I've heard this... I have a massive dehydrator for jerky and dog treats, and yet I have no kitchen appliances lol. Maybe I should adult more and splash out.
- Literally just the microwave it doesn't get easier haha

I will certainly regret eating seven sticks, though.

I always eat the stick. It's a good source of fiber.

This meme lies. I followed its instructions and ate 7 corn dogs including the stick and now I have a belly ache.
Also, I'm pooping blood. Is that normal?

Just put them in your mouth.

this reads somewhere between Neil Cicirega lyrics and Clerks dialogue

just dog
- The Chinese don't complain

How many corn dogs would you say you eat a day?
