Corn Dogs
 

So,

Who likes 'em, who secretly eats them without telling others, and are all the corn dog outlets still open at DL at the moment ?

...I still think they're the swankest of all Theme Park snacks.

:)

Hey, I had one for lunch! Interesting to eat when your mouth is all numbed up with novacain. Not a ginormous Park one, but it was still okay.

Waaaahhh. I want one.

I was planning on getting a corn dog at DCA on the last day of my trip out at DL. Unfortunately, those plans were ripped assunder when I had to cancel my last day plans in order to try to get an earlier flight to try to beat Hurricane Francis to my house. Sadly, I did not get to eat a corn dog when I was out in California. Maybe this year.

The last time I had a corn dog from DCA I had, um, "digestive difficulties." I don't eat those anymore.

I must take part of the blame for the lack of corn dog on HTH's vacation. I am the one who called him up on the phone from Orlando and said, "Hey, the airports might be closing soon, so you better get to the airport now and see if you can get an early flight." He took my advice, and spent 9 plus hour at LAX that he could have been spending in DL. Sorry, man.

By the way, I once wrote a song about corn dogs because I used to love them so much. I don't eat a lot of deep fried stuff these days, but corn dogs do bring back lotsa memories. Anyhow, the song (composed when I was about six or seven) went something like this:

Corny corny corn dog, jumping down the stairs
Corny corny corn dog, you're the answer to my prayers

Those were the only lyrics, repeated endlessly as I bounced around flailing my arms.

Hmmm, now I want a corn dog.

flippyshark is just overflowing with talent. :D

I have this weird relationship with corn dogs. I kinda like 'em. I'm not in love with the corn part, and I always think there's way too much of it. So whenever I get one I end up discarding about half the corn stuff. I do enjoy the other half with the dog though. Maybe I should make my own homemade ones so they won't have so much corn? It's not often I get one, especially in public, since it's so embarrassing tearing off the coating.

I can only eat about 3/4 of a Disneyland corndog. Trust me, I've got a decent appetite, but there comes that point of "too much of this flavor'" with the corndogs at the park. Not exactly low carb, either.
I do like a good hot dog, though. Bunless, of course.

P.S. Stan4dSteph, I think corn gives a lot of people "digestive issues."

Why am I hearing Carol Channing in my head?

Could be, although my theory is it had something to do with the massive amount of grease I ingested. Ick.

Yep, they're greasy.

*assumes cheerleading stance*
Pork Chop, Pork Chop
Greasy, Greasy Greasy
We'll Beat Your Team
Easy, Easy Easy!
*and pose*

Up until about a year ago, I don't think I had ever eaten more than two in my lifetime. They just didn't do anything for me. One day we went to Weinershnitzel(sp?) and I got one just because it sounded good for some reason. Something clicked and now I love them. I actually have a box of them in my freezer right now. :)

I like the ones in DL but they are just too big for me so I rarely get them. And yes, the grease is what gets to me.

Corn Dog Castle is my dream home. I love love love the hot link corndogs. Love 'em!

But how do you really feel? ;)

Ah but the joy of a DL/DCA corn dog is it's John Holmsian stature - easily the most obscene foodstuff in the park, in grease, carbs, and imagry.

Well, I guess you'd have to go outside the park to, say, the County Fair, and ingest a Deep Fried Snickers to get any ruder.

I know- the corndog I ate today was nowhere near as 'Holmesian' as the Parks, which is probably a good thing.:rolleyes:

We did have fun at the fair didn't we?

I likee corn dogs. Es-pecially the ones sold at Disneymaland. But at home I will only eat the Trader Joe's "meatless" variety of CD. They good, too. It's true!

NA, put the baseball bat down! It's not worth it! Besides, now we get to see a retaliatory pic from you!:D

There IS no retalitory picture! € and Flub were just laughing at me.

EDIT: UGH! That picture is soooo huge and sooo rude! I was thinking we were going to get in trouble from the Admins, but, oh, we're it!

Damn! I was getting popcorn and everything.

Great pic, and I second the motion, NA. Please retaliate! Please Please Please!!!

(this could get good)

Edited to add: Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. :(

Hey Wendy, pass that popcorn, will ya?

Oh. Dear. Lord!
:eek:
:D

You've all aready see his embarassing pics!

Here ya go. Want some white wine to wash it down with?

Maybe we need to scan the naked pics with the stuffed mastadon in a "key" location.

Oh. My. God!
:D lol!

You know, I don't want to stir up trouble or anything, but....okay!:D

Yes, please! Maybe it will keep that last pic from creeping into a dream tonight.

/me is doomed to spend the rest of the night wondering how much of that dog was eaten before the camera came out. :eek1:

I just had to use this new smilie:

:buxter:


I love him!

My decidedly unswank, short lived, love of corn dogs was as a result of the power of suggestion by my lamaze teacher/doula. So, after every lamaze class, I had to go get a couple of corn dogs and a grape slushie.

Nathan was able to do the same thing with pudding. All he had to do was say "Pudding". I would instantly say in my best pregnancy craving voice "Oooooooh pudding!". Ironically, I never took a single bite of pudding through two pregnancies.

Euromeinke ~ Do you still have those boots? They're fabulous.

Sadly they are no more - back before Hot Topic, one had to get these things at Equestrian shops. Of course, riding crops where also available there and no questions asked
:cool:

I think you've all seen MY embarrassing pic already....

Looks like he got your ear.
:D

OMG those pics are hilarious.....huge fan of the Red Corn Dog wagon here.. alas after my fun little escapade last fall...they are on the long list of "no no's" ....but I still LOVE them !

NA, you have always been a mentor. i used to try to savor the flavor and nip away a bit at a time to make the "corn dog experience" last after all i wanted my money's worth. however, as you are my fearless leader i NOW know how to properly go down on a corn dog.:) thank you.:cheers:

daydreaming of corn dogs and more pics of ThatGuy will surely put the hormones in a whirl today:D

I'm loving the corndog pictures!

I crave a hot link corndog.... mmmmmmmmmm

I am here to serve and swank. :cheers: :p

Here's a poem for all you corn dog swankers. :D

The last exerience I had with corn dogs was on a trip to DL with Brian. We were running late for a meet, so we grabbed a couple of corn dogs at the red wagon. Brian proceeded to eat his corn dog like it was corn on the cob. Pretty cute.

So, Prince Harry gets in trouble, but NaziMeinke is okay? Oh, the double-standard! Toot!

BTW, the roll of paper towels on the floor - would I be wrong in assuming that there's a can of Crisco just out of frame?

See, I like the corn stuff, but I can't eat the dog part. I'd suggest we share a corn dog sometime, but I can't eat corn stuff that's been touching a dog.

I need the corn coating deep fried in a seperate vat of oil. Mmmmm . . . corn coating on a stick . . .

How 'bout the cheesy-corny thing they sell over at Corn Dog Castle?

(Thanks, Stan4dSteph! Toot Toot!)

You mean the heart attack on a stick? I'm pretty sure the cheese is dipped into the same vat of corniness that the dogs are, and that they're fried in the same vat of oil, making the cheesy-corny things not very vegetarian.

I prefer not to chance it. I could get very ill.

Mule Dicks on a Stick.

That's what they sell at the Red Wagon.

:eek: You're my corndog soul mate! Whodathunk? :D Too bad you live so far away, I'd totally share my corndog with you. People would think we have a very intimate relationship...

Corndog Lesbians?

Dildogs

:p

lol! :D

Nice.

Doe they make Double-Ended DilDogs ??

Are you expecting company?

I don't like corndogs, :blush: not even a little. But I did eat the jalapeno ones when I was pg with Kyler.




still giggling over Dildogs. heeheee :D

Friendship is.....When you get to the Red Wagon, the CM tells you there is only one corn dog left, and you let your friend have the last one.

So was I rude when I didn't put up a fight?

You did put up a fight though. And you were no where near being rude. :)

I just felt that it was time for a Corn dog sing-a-long. Come on everybody lets sing FlippySharks Corn Dog Aria together.

"Corny corny corn dog, jumping down the stairs
Corny corny corn dog, you're the answer to my prayers"

(Matterhorn Fan, why didn't you sing along with the rest of us? Don't think I didn't notice. :D)

You know, I didn't really think about this before, but I didn't realize Our Friend Flippy was a religious man!







(And then there the reaction HTH must've had upon seeing friends in trouble with large corndogs..........OH MY EYES! :cool: )

Inspired by the Blue Bayou's Monte Cristos I got to wondering, what other things could you dip in cornmeal batter and deep fry ???

How about..

The Corn Burger. A juicy Big Mac battered & fried. Served on a stick.

A large dill pickle.

I have tried deep fried pickles. Kind of strange.

the eye popping photo of you and your corndog makes me think that for some, the guilty pleasure of having a corndog is a religious experience.:D

Be patient and you will finally win, for a soft tongue can break hard bones. (Proverbs 28:13)

Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee (Psalms 63:3).

mmm I love meat on a stick!

ya know, when you put it THAT way...... ;)

Uh.....what?

Hey, look! There's a flamingo smilie now! :birdy: :gnome: Those two look good together.

Just for Flippyshark!

Attachment 981

I just threw up a little.

WTF?

Wow. I like the idea in principle, but the execution here doesn't make me hungry.

But, hey, thanks for waking up this very old but ALWAYS relevant thread! :D

Well, this can be adpatable, I am sure.

Of course, next to bacon, corn dogs are very yummy and threadworthy! No question!

only a little?
hot dogs on a pizza in any form is ......... just bad

Actually that could appeal. Though I wouldn't eat them together in one bite. Peel off a corn dog and it is pre-condimented with some cheese and a little bit of tomato sauce. Could make for a good corn dog.

Then eat a slice of pizza. Though that particular pizza looks to be of substandard quality.

At least take the sticks out for pete sake!

Perhaps instead you could make the pizza dough with cornmeal, slice up the dogs for toppings, and squirt on some mustard...

could I get that with hot links and pretzle dough instead?

You know, I broke down and had one of those battered cheese-on-a-stick things they sell at the Corn Dog Castle in DCA, it was good! Good cheddar cheese when I was expecting something Velveetaesque, and a really nice texture to the fried corn meal. Sort of like eating a grilled cheese made with cornbread. Aside from the carbs, I recommend! You can pretend its less bad for you by having the apple slices instead of potato chips.

I like those as well, and you can put some of the melted cheese on the apple slices. I do wish Corn Dog Castle or Award Weiners sold turkey/chicken/veggie dogs, though. Even Hot Dog On A Stick has gone to all turkey dogs.

mmm. Another diet product for the lashpair 2009 culinary calendar

The cheese on a stick is very good. A few years ago, I had both a corn dog and a cheese-on-a-stick at the Castle. I think I got sick, but it was so worth it.

Same here. I got one at that red wagon truck off Main Street at DL (said to be the best) and it sat on my stomach like I had eaten a brick. Tastes good, but I tend to shy away now. I wonder if it was just the quantity? Type or quality of oil? Other corn dogs don't bother me.....

I once saw Guy of the TV show "Diners, Drive Inns, and Dives" take a battered and deepfried hamburger patty, assemble the burger, then dip the whole thing in the batter and fry it. They put it on the menu at the diner and call it the Tripple D Burger! That's money!! :snap:

Ew!

LOL - you sound just like him too. Annoying! ;)

If the oil isn't hot enough or if the dog is left in too long, the batter will absorb oil instead of just cooking in it. Unfortunately in a high-throughput operation like the corn dog cart, new dogs will be dropped before the oil temp has recovered from the last batch. The best time to get one is probably when there's no line, so you'll get a fresh one cooked in hot oil.

Just for our dear friend and corn dog lovin' Flippyshark!

Retro Corn Dog Fryer

Now I want a corn dog.

Damn you all.

I don't.

Then I hate you even more.

Because the only logical reason for not wanting a corn dog is that you already have one.

Must have fryer ...

Why does the pizza only have seven corndogs? How are you supposed to cut pizza into 7 slices? It needs another corndog.

Ummm... How about that I find corn dogs to be gross and disgusting?

Because the 8th guy who is splitting that pie is on a diet and requested his slice have no corn dog.

C O R N D O G S? (<-- Saying it slowly and clearly just in case you misuderstood)

Naw, That can't be it.

No... C O R N D O G S = V O M I T.

JW: Remind me to make you Vegemite-On-A-Stick when I come over.



(Oh, and I Must ALSO have that corndog fryer - it's CUTE !!)

Until recently I had only ever tasted one particular sort of corndog - the sort that comes as a hot lunch in elementary school.

It was unbelievably disgusting, and I hadn't had one since.

Until a couple weeks ago, when in a fit to "try everything" at the park (except that stupid Fantasyland restaurant - I draw the line at voluntary food poisoning) we split a corn dog from the official cart on Main Street.

I am now a convert. And I'm hungry.

Join Usssssssss :D

Last time I was at DL, there was a huge line and I refused to hang out and wait for an hour for a CD on Main Street near the hub.

Still a DL corndog virgin.

Damn, now I want a corndog!

I had forgotten about yesterday's corndog craving. Until now. Grr! And I don't have time to go to the park this week!

thanks to this thread, its what was for dinner last night.

I nom'd
but had no mustard

it was..lacking

A corndog without mustard?!?

That does not compute

Ketchup is the way to go anyway! Our local Fish Hut, also had home made corn dogs, sadly closed down. No more hand dipped corn dogs for me until I get down south.

Only Mustard or perhaps a Ketchup/Mustard mix work on a Corndog, Ketchup alone does not cut the mustard.

ketchup on a corndog? (sadly didnt have THAT either)

tried to make do with BBQ sauce........and that was just wrong.

Okay, now I am desperate, Safeway by the office has chicken dog corn dogs at the hot lunch spot, totally inferior, but man o man, what a craving!

I wonder if peanut butter would be good on a corndog?

Only if you're pregnant and craving silly food items. Otherwise, no.

I conquered the craving and had a tuna sandwich, not nearly as satisfying, I must say.

Are there any Hot Dog On A Stick or Wienerschnitzel locations nearby? They won't be a substitute for Disney corn dogs, but at least they're corn dogs. :D

Nope, not in San Francisco as far as I know. That's it, we're corn dog deprived, but we do have other gastronomic delights

You need to look a little harder.

For Wienerschnitzel, you can search here.

Yes, Kevy you made a point.

Well, Daly City is not San Francisco, per se. And Stonestown is a rather long trip on MUNI and by the time I got there, the craving would be long since over and done with. ;) The other locations are spread far and wide in every direction and mostly in malls, over whose thresholds I rarely cross.

I'll simply have to experiment on my own at home. Now would it be total overkill to use something so delicious as a Nathan's Hot Dog (harldy a low fat hot dog) to be enrobed by deep fried corn batter?

Sorry; wasn't trying to make a point. It was born more out of being curious if those two chains had a presence in your area.

Sorry

No worries! It was simply you did point out, there are places in the Bay Area one can get a freshly fried corn dog (besides Santa Cruz Boardwalk) ;)

Now I'm curious how to perfect a recipe for home comsumption without a deep fryer.

Or you could go low-brow and buy them at the supermarket.

last nights dinner. :D

I had the cheese ones.
:p

Voila !!

Corn Dogs - Hot Diggity Baked Not Fried

1 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Butter - cut
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 Egg
6 Wooden sticks
6 Hot dogs
Non-stick cooking spray

Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse 2-3 times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 5-6 times until mixture is crumbly.

Add the milk and egg and pulse just until the dough holds together.

Remove the dough and place it on a cutting board. Knead about 5-6 times then divide the dough into 6 equal portions.

Roll each dough portion into a thin, flat rectangle.

Insert a wooden stick mid-point into each hot dog. Place the hot dog lengthwise down one side of a piece of dough and roll up. Smooth the edges with water.

Repeat with remaining hot dogs.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and place the corn dogs onto the sheet.

Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12 minutes, turning often to promote even browning.

I can vouch for these - a little drier than fried, but plenty of ketsup & mustard will take care of that.

[Cross posting in Bacon is meat candy thread]

I just tried to eat my monitor....

Corn Dog Casserole. With bacon.

OMG - BEST Recipe idea website EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

A t-shirt I wish I could find for Flippyshark

Attachment 1158


Although the image is a bit disturbing.

Zazzle corn dog t-shirts

Nice shirt - but I would never enter one of these contests. Corn dogs should be savored, not stuffed down one's esophagus at the fastest possible speed. And the Zazzle shirt is very nice.

I was at the drive-in the other monring (for their flea market) and I had a corn dog for breakfast - a first for me, I'm pretty sure.

At the OC Fair last night I had a "Totally Fried Zucchini Weeni", which is a corn dog, except the hot dog is first inserted into a hollowed out zucchini before being sticked and battered.

I approve.

Wash it down with a cold glass of milk and you have a nice, balanced meal! ;)

Zucchini Weenie sounds Obsceenie.

Why in the world would you eat zuchini. Were they out of styrofoam?

(Not that zucchini is gross, but it's sole value is in adding bulk and filler without providing any flavor or value. Kind of like iceberg lettuce in squash form.)

Another goodie from Archie McPhee, Captain Corndog, Arrrrrrrrrr all he needs is a pirate hat!

Oh, I am so getting one!

That peg-leg is a stroke of genius

Yeah, but the boot on the peg leg seems a little odd.

How about the "You Need a Corndog, I Can Tell" Shirt!

Corn dog mints

I just threw up in my mouth a little pondering what that might taste like.

That is just so wrong

It's too scary to even think about!

Even I don't want to eat a corn dog flavored mint. (admittedly, if I was offered one, I would be curious enough to try it - but it seems unlikely that I would really love it.)

On the other hand, visiting Archie McFee for even a few moments is very dangerous. I found wonderful good-bad gifts for everyone in my family in just a couple of clicks.

Well no more gross than bacon mints, corn dog air freshener and the like. Archie McPhee certainly fills a niche market. It is one of my favorite places to shop for ridiculous things.

I don't know, somehow it seems worse. I think it's because bacon is just bacon, and while the thought of a bacon mint isn't exactly appealing, at least it's a pretty straight forward flavor - cured smoked pig. The fact that a mint that's corndog flavored means that they've somehow synthesized the separate flavors of hot dog and fried corn bread batter down into a single flavor is conceptually more stomach-churning. Perhaps because it brings to mind an image of someone blending a corndog into a homogeneous smoothie.

Okay, the blender anology really grossed me out, GD. Urp.

Reminds me of a story...

I was in high school when I had four impacted wisdom teeth removed. Two days later, the rest of my family went on a ten day vacation. Because my jaw/teeth/gums were still quite sore, I couldn't chew very well and hard foods were right out. So during that time, I subsisted almost entirely on frozen Marie Calendar chicken pot pies which (after cooking) I put in the food processor. Granted, it looked nasty, but it tasted great (I freaking love pot pies). I liked it so much that I ate them that way for months—long after I had recovered from the oral surgery. I would have continued longer but I got sick of cleaning the food processor.

Resurrecting an old thread to bring you THIS from Japan.

I Want !!!

Sorry, but that looks disgusting!

You sir are far too kind.

Umm, what about it looks disgusting? Pancake batter and a hot dog? How is that disgusting (and if you say that hotdog looked gross...you aren't looking closely enough at the hot dogs you do eat)?

DIY corn dog? Microwaved in a rocket? How cool is that!

The finished product looked gross and extremely unappetizing to me. If it looks delicious to you, more power to you.

Have to agree with JW- yuck. BTW it's "fish sausage", not a hot dog, according to the words on the screen.

Corndog milkshake- get to work, Jack in the Box.

Novel idea, but ixnay on the fish sausage! I'd be willing to try it with a hot dog or meat* sausage. However, it couldn't replace my love for fried corn dogs because this method could not produce a crispy crust.


*I know fish is meat, I meant beef, pork, or poultry.

The rocket is really what sold me on it.... And I have tried fish sausage before - it's not too bad. Really!

It's not a corn dog unless it's fried and crispy. That's just me though.

The little rocket is adorable though!
