Corndogs: The Healthiest of Healthy Eats






I  can't remember the last time I ate a corndog, but
it was probably at Edmonton K-Days summer fair
at least a dozen years ago or more.

So when was the last time YOU had one?

Confess all in the comments.

I haven't even seen a corn dog šŸ¤”
At last evening's dinner I eat a corn cob šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ˜ƒ

Tom said...

...something that I have never had.

Travel said...

Sadly, I don't think I ever have.

Mistress Maddie said...

I've never had one. I don't like them...but Meat Twinkies on the other hand......... lmao!!!!!!

Val Ewing said...

It's been years since I had one.
Corn dog recipes..that works for me!

Boud said...

Never even seen one. Maybe they're street fair food?

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Boud -- I believe they started as fair food, yes. But in Canada, you can buy them frozen in a box, microwavable for home consumption. They're called "Pogos" here and are very popular. Between Pogos and Poutine, Canadians are doomed, bloody doomed.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mistress Maddie -- Oh, I knew you'd like that term!

Bob said...

It's been eons, perhaps at a fair or something when I lived in California, but I will say, I do love a corndog!

And they're right about Beef Wellington, it's just an elitist corndog

ArcticFox said...

never..... but that's more a case of availability..... and being pescetarian as well wouldn't help me......

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Bob -- I've only had Beef Wellington once, years and years ago at some fancy-shmancy dinner hosted (and paid for) by some big legal organization or another. I was just getting over a horrible cold and my sense of taste was gone. So, yes, I had Beef Wellington but it was completely wasted on me. Alas!

Pixie said...

I can't remember the last time I had a corndog, but I do enjoy them.

Marie Smith said...

I never remember eating one. Maybe as a child…

whkattk said...

We went to Fremont Street maybe 10 years ago. Corn dog, then deep fried twinkies, oreos, and butter. I don't recommend that meal combo - after the deep fried oreo, I thought I was gonna puke.

Codex: I tried one and never again.

Ms. Moon said...

I absolutely have no idea when I last ate a corndog but I am certain I enjoyed it and had it with mustard only which is the way I like them.

Marcia LaRue said...

I have never had one and the last hotdog 🌭 I ever had, made me so sick due to the sulfites used in processing! Same goes for wine! Thankfully, I prefer bourbon and water and Sonic cheeseburgers! šŸ”

BootsandBraids said...

I can't say why, but never in my life have I eaten a corn dog. Maybe because I don't recall ever seeing one ... domesticated or in the wild, but "meat twinkie" sounds just so right.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahahaha
Oh, the lady fighting Satan with a corndog!
Also, 'meat twinkie' sent me.
XOXO

Cleora Borealis said...

🤭 I have KNOWN a lot of meat twinkies...they were often my bosses and, even though they had sticks up their butts, they were quite tasteless!! 🤣
The real ones, though...yummy! I satisfy my desire about once a month! šŸ˜‹šŸ¤¤

Frank said...

I've never had one and likely never will.

lissa said...

I've not tried corndogs - lucky or not? They don't look appetizing, at least the pictures.

Have a lovely day.

e said...

Love the laffs, and LOVE a corn dog! I had one in May at our local Rose Festival. Any time I go to a fair or some such I will have a corn dog with plenty of mustard. I don't buy the frozen kind, it's just not the same. I'm probably going to start thinking of them as Meat Twinkies, though...

Leanna said...

OMG! Someone overheard me talking to my husband when I mentioned to him to pick up a box of meat twinkies in the frozen section.

DB Stewart said...

I can't recall my last corn dog...must have been...underwhelming. ;)

Catalyst said...

It's been quite awhile. I know I loved them as a kid and have enjoyed them as an adult(?) but I can't really remember the last time I had one.

BSB said...

It's probably been 5 years since I had a corn dog. But, you know, perhaps it's time.
Corn dog Thursday anybody? 😁

Moving with Mitchell said...

Beef Wellington and the corn dog made me laugh. I have never in my life had a corn dog. I’m not a big fan of meat on a stick.

Jennifer said...

I get them occasionally when they serve them in our school cafeteria. They usually serve them with tator tots!

Mike said...

I don't think I've ever had one. If I did it's been erased from my memory.

Kay G. said...

Hey, I admit it, I like corn dogs! I don't eat hot dogs at all anymore, I know they are not good for you. I am old and have to take better care of myself. LOL.

roentare said...

Corndogs was my favorite in the childhood

Bill said...

I haven't had a corn dog in decades.

Kathy G said...

I haven't had a corn dog in years. Now I want one.

Shammickite said...

Never! But I like that Superman joke.

Barbara said...

I confess to at least 2 this year from Sonic.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Every so often, and I mean not often. I will have a corn dog.

Kirk said...

I've never had one. If I can't put ketchup and mustard on a hot dog, I don't want it.

This N That said...

They really don't appeal to me..I'm pretty sure I've never had one..I prefer Beef Wellington...The hot dogs in the pot with the corn on the cob would be OK!!

Mr. Shife said...

We have special ones around here called Pronto Pups and they are dipped in mustard. We get them every year when we go to the fair so my corn dog absence is not as great as I would like to admit.

Tundra Bunny said...

I tried one at a fair in 1977 and it was so disgustingly greasy, I spit it out into a trashcan. That was my first and last Pogo! Despite being Canadian, I must also confess to never having eaten poutine either, but I'd crawl over broken glass for a Caribou steak, LOL!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Hmmm, I wonder if any Canadian chef has ever attempted to make Caribou Wellington?

Katerinas Blog said...

I have never had corn dogs, they are not popular in Greece.
I have had Beef Wellington and they are very delicious!!

Rade said...

When we had our dog (Sheltie), we would take him to State fairs (in his wagon, forbid he would want to walk...). I always got him a corn dog. It was 8 years or so ago when I last bought one.

Polly said...

I love the superman one and the sad story. I think corndog is what we call a hot dog, eaten in a long roll with onions and tomato ketchup. I like them but can't remember the last time I had one.

Liz Hinds said...

I have never had one.
