Hmm, at first I was all in for this but then I thought of the possibilities:
- The sausage is cold
- The pickle is hot
I really don't want either so this is a hard pass
-
Don't underestimate warm/hot pickles.
The sausage potentially being cold/cool is offputting, but not a total dealbreaker. But heated pickles are yummy. Think about them fried, or on burgers. The taste of them becomes more complex and interesting. I can see this being a damn nice combination of flavors, even if the interior isn't as consistent as could be ideal.
And there's no guarantee it won't cook evenly.
-
The problem with hot pickles is the same as with tomatoes. It's tasty, but the liquid just burns your mouth.
And since the sausage is inside the pickle, it takes considerable amount of heating the pickle to get the sausage warm/hot
-
Well, I guess if you go at it immediately, that would be a problem.
I just figured out would be like most "portable" food where it gets cooked in batches and kept warm. This would let carryover cooking bring the inner parts up to the desired temp range, while the more exterior parts would be cooling to a comfortable range by the process.
It's kinda like with some fast food; having it sit is calculated into the end product so that it doesn't dry out or over cook in the expected serve time. With the sausages being precooked, it's a matter of getting them to a pleasing range rather than reaching a specific safe temp like it would be for other sausages.
But, yeah, I see what you mean. If it's fried on demand, the pickle juices would be brutal.
-
Yeah that would make sense. I have only experience with fast food that's cooked on demand really (apart from CrpDonalds I guess, depending on your luck)

Gotta let it rest first.

Deep fried pickles is a common pub food in my area
-
Yeah I was thinking that hot pickles were weird but then I remembered deep fried pickles exist and are delicious, so therefore this pickle-corndog must be outstanding
-
Damn, what are they like?
-
Delicious
-
So good. Better in ranch and with a side of texas cheese fries (which are better than regular cheese fries), also with ranch.
Followed by pizza, which you also have with ranch.

Mmmmmmmmmm, I might genuinely fly to the US just for this. I'm over here eating sauerkraut

Fried pickles are the tits

-
Zucchini would be a great replacement.
-
Yeah that could work, though I prefer zucchini fried or grilled
-
-
For me, it's a no on proportion of pickle to the rest...too much pickle
-
It's like you never tried fried cucumbers. On a serious note, pickle is there for taste, not for temperature, and it's not like a pickle is bad if it's in something hot
-
I haven't tried fried cucumbers, true.
I understand that the pickle is not there for temperature, it's kind of obvious. But to cook this food, you'll first transfer heat from the frying oil into the corn thing, then into the cucumber, and finally into cooking the sausage. The cucumber will be hot before the sausage warms up.
The cucumber also likely has considerable amount of thermal mass due to being some high 90% of water, and the corn thing probably works as insulation to keep the heat from escaping.
It really looks like something that would burn your mouth in an instant
-
I would expect that while cooking this will happen as you describe, yet after the cooking is done core is going to be the last to stay warm. Also, I expect that's not a whole pickle, but rather pickle rings that let the heat to transfer freely from surface to sausage.
