    What even is a corndog, like a hotdog… made of corn?

      Hotdog saussage covered in wome corn based batter. It’s absolutely disgusting.

        I’ve personally got a corn intolerance so seven corndogs would be quite the experience.

        You just haven’t had the right corndog, if they’re fried poorly the cornbread coating can get mushy and nasty.

        The worst parts of the animal that can’t be used in other meat products, covered in raw carbs, and of course, deep fried in oil. America.

        (edit) I looked up some pictures, why is the bread so fucking thick? Is it supposed to absorb the oil or is that just a happy coincidence? Absolutely disgusting.

          You say that like actually using all parts of the animal you’ve killed is a bad thing

            You say that like grinding up and selling it as a meat-adjacent is the only possible use of animal remains.

              You say that like grinding it up and selling it as meat-adjacent isn’t a valid choice!

              You are aware that many cultures eat every single part (that is edible/digestible) of the animal they kill, right?

              Tons of people eat eyes, brains, tails, feet, etc…

                In fairness, it’s not really the same

                Think more like a slurry of connective tissue, bits of fat, and scraps of meat pressure washed off the bone and swept into a drain. The legally allowable quantities of cleaning chemicals and feces are also pretty concerning…

                I’m happy to eat sausage, even blood sausage, despite knowing what it is and how it’s made… but hotdogs are gross in a unique and unnatural way
