I have never even had a chance. I've got nowhere to buy them so I'm thinking about doing some myself

corndogs are one of the sacred treasures of mankind. They say that one bite will either give a man infinite wisdom and knowledge or drive him completely insane...

so yes.

yassem, where do you live that you have no where to buy them?

I prefer Polish dogs.

I don't know what a corn-dog is. Are we talking about a kind of vegetarian hot-dog?

its a hot dog dipped in a corn-meal batter and friied....the hot dog is on a stick....it was created as a carnival food

"They say that one bite will either give a man infinite wisdom and knowledge or drive him completely insane..."

I believe America has shown that the infinite wisdom-part rarely happens..

all you fucking haters...ha....jealous fucktards

Just joking. Obviously we all prefer joking about the French, but I've never seen a corn-dog in France..

Or, you know, ever.

Oh... A battered sausage

no Oct, were not talking of yours

We have something similar in the UK, but they're not on sticks, they use a british sausage rather than a hot dog, and the batter is flour batter, not corn batter. Normally served with chips.

Variants include deep-fried battered black pudding, which is lovely. I recommend deep-fried battered black pudding to anyone who hasn't had it.

There's also deep fried oreos, deep fried snickers, and deep fried ice cream! We love to deep fry things!

@ssorenn, in Poland. I don't think they are popular anywhere in Europe.
@Jeff Kuta, surprisingly, in Poland we have no "Polish hot-dog". Moreover, when I was in D.C. I ate a hot-dog with a "Polish sausage", I don't know where this sausage was from but I can tell you for sure, we don't eat that kind of shit.

@Yoyoyozo, I love deep fried stuff. Deep friend snickers is the bomb.
@Jamiet99uk, don't kid yourself. Those things may sound tasty, but the only culinary thing Britain has ever given to the world is fish and chips, all your other food is terrible.

the reason i asked, is because here they are also sold in the freezer section in grocery stores

Nah, we don't even get the regular hot-dogs in the freezers. We only have "sausages", which or kind of like your hot-dogs, and then half of the country eats hot-dogs (the "French" once, with a closed bun) on gas stations. It's amazing, it's absolutely normal to be like "dude, let's go to a gas station eat a hot dog". This is literally the only place I can think of that has hot-dogs.

Mmmm... The wife is working tonight so I have to make dinner for the kids... Corn dogs it is! Thanks for the suggestion yassem.

@yassem

If we're going to slag each other's cuisine off, based on lazy stereotypes, you probably shouldn't be from Poland. As far as I know most of the world thinks you live on a diet of sausages, cabbage and beetroot.

Britain has lots of great food. Yes, fish and chips is good, but also:

- We make a huge variety of excellent cheeses.
- Pies. Britain is fantastic at pies (the savoury kind, meat inside pastry).
- Haggis. Seriously, any culture that can make something this tasty out of sheep lungs deserves at least a bit of credit.
- Kippers. Another thing we do with fish, and very tasty (and good for you).

We also make some awesome condiments. English mustard kicks the ass of most other mustards.

Britain also popularised (and arguably invented the modern form of) the sandwich. Don't you like sandwiches?

I'm not even patriotic, but seriously ease off with the lazy insults.

Britain has the best brown and yellow food on the planet!

They quite common　コンビニ food here. I had them without ever really getting what was so g8 about it. Never seen them in Europe, exc. for the British variant Jamie described and a German thing called "sleepy sausage" or so, which is a sausage in pasty dough.

Come to the Wisconsin State Fair in August. Then you can have deep fried macaroni and cheese on a stick to pair with your corn dog. Finish it off with a cream puff and a trip to the hospital.

But corn dogs. Yeah.

Nice. I've been there

It depends. DO NOT get those frozen bagged corn dogs and try to use that as a benchmark. You need a real US state fair type corn dog.

@Jamiet99uk

Oh my dear, this is so sweet.

You answered as if I said that Poland had such a great cuisine. I didn't, Polish cuisine is mediocre, yet, it is still a couple of leagues above British cuisine : )

- Your cheeses are pretty decent, but I wouldn't go as far as put British cheeses in the "excellent" group with countries like Switzerland or France.
- Well, like so many other cuisines. In Poland we have savory pies as well. No point there.
- Poland is the land of turning offal into deliciousness. Basically, anything you find in an animal we can turn into something tasty, intestines, lungs, stomachs, hearts, kidneys, not to mention everybody's favorite livers. Heck, I've heard a Welsh guy saying we make better black pudding then you guys (go kaszanka!).
- Your fish is good, as I admitted, but so is Polish, and both cuisines suck dick compared to for example Portugal.
- You wanna win this with mustard? German mustard for the win. Dude, even Russians make better mustard. Or do you mean other "awesome" condiments like Marmite, which is a disgrace to the human race.
- The only thing you popularized about sandwiches is the name in English. The concept is at least a couple thousand years old, and as far as I know, at least in Central Europe it was popularized by Jews centuries ago.

I could now go on about how Polish cuisine is much better than British, how you calling my insult "lazy" is hypocritical considering your comment about Polish cuisine.

Sure, you think British cuisine is awesome because you've been raised in it, and there might be some good things in it (perhaps), but on the same level there are about cuisine from any random country around the world. However, you never hear people say "Oh, how about we order some British for diner", because globally speaking it's not even mediocre, it's just bad. All things considered, if I were British I would rather stay quite about my cuisine and talk about the sports you guys invented and get constantly beaten at (shots fired) : )

I wonder what are the options on overseas shipping of corn-dogs from fairs.

If you have a small home.deep fryer. Do them yourself. There are many recipies

Wooooah. There's like a special thing that you deep fry other things in? : O

Can't I just do it in a pot?

Yes, I highly recommend cast iron then. Constant temp

@ yassem - I don't want to "win" anything at all. I was just reacting to your lazy insult that "all British food apart from fish and chips is terrible". You've now accepted that isn't the case, so I'm happy to let it rest.

Fight. Fight. Sling shit.

Well, technically I said that you might think that there are some good things, to you. I stand by my point that generally speaking, from a foreigners point of view not a thing except fish and chips, that is considered a British dish is good : )

British cheese and mustard are crimes against humanity worthy a series of London Trials. In anything else, I agree with Jamie on the merits of British cuisine.

I was really hoping for some flame war, that would escalate to how shitty Great Britain is. I'm still rancorous about yesterdays Arsenal loss.

As an american I see british food and think don't we have that here? just better? Fish and chips, it is fried fish and french fries...... wow....

We have fast food places that make that for shits and giggles.... must not be too hard, i am talking Popeyes, Long John silvers and Red Lobster.

@ yassem My parents have a deep frier with a lid, where the food basket locks in place when you close it. The lid prevents everything from splattering. It's almost too easy to make fried food...

what the british do have that I respect is a very long and interesting history.

@ X3n0n: What exactly is wrong with our cheese, or our mustard?

I just found out they sell them (deep fryers), like in any shop with household goods. I cannot buy this. I would literally die in like 3-5 years if I did. Must... Resist... Frying...

English mustard is good! Coleman's made with beer instead of water, a little sugar for some contrast... Excellent on a hot beef sandwich.

@Jamie: have you ever had French or German mustard? And then tried English mustard again? but mostly too sweet.

Concerning: either too little taste or too much salt in all varieties. An unsavoury consistence and smell that differs greatly from the flavour when eating it. (And I'm talking about artisanal cheese)
