Beef wellington also just a sauceless hot pocket.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And a hot pocket is just a savory double-stuff poptart.

Dear Americans, corn dogs would be better without that stick in the middle.

[–] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

But then what will I gnaw on like a beaver in order to collect the final, crispy fragments?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Someone never learned how to pull out.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Boneless corn dogs, yes. This is a good idea.

When I make corn dogs with my own batter, the little sticks are helpful for dipping the hot dogs in the batter before frying. That said, I bet I could batter them with the stick, and figure out a way to release them into the fryer with some tongs or tweezers so that I can keep the even batter thickness and radial symmetry.

Ok I'm trying that this summer.

[–] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You could just use like chopsticks or a second stick, use one for dipping and the other one to slide the dog off the other stick into the oil. Might lose a little batter at the end of the dog though.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think if I'm working over hot fryer oil I'd want a secure grip on each part, so I'd probably still be using something pinchy to smoothly pull through. One loose stick seems like it wouldn't be enough control to move quickly and safely.

I bet you eat your pizza with a knife and fork

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

better than with pineapple

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pineapple is great. Might as well complain about mushrooms on pizza.

And while we're at it, where is the corn ?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

In the breading, it uses corn flour.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It only becomes visible when you poop

[–] dewritoninja@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

A beef wellington in the format of a corndog would be so good

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just put a beefy skewer through it. Done lol

[–] Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Its gotta be smaller too tho so its bite sized! tiny little steak in a pastry that then gets dipped in ketchup/mustard causing eveyone physical pain at ketchup on high quality steak.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Mini Wellington is a hipster thing where I am. No fewer than three people in my peer group have served them to me. Honestly it works way better than full size imo, because a slice of Wellington just gets soggy on the plate, but a personal mini Wellington gives you the full end to end texture.

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

If an American version existed:

"Nabisco Bite-sized Wellingtons!"

basically combos flavored like steak

Make fun all you want but a freshly fried hand dipped corn dog can be amazing. There used to be a walk up window stand that I would pass by when I was a kid and it would be made to order. Perfectly fried and hot. The cornmeal crust is crunchy on the outside, soft and a little sweet on the inside, contrasting the salty hotdog middle. You finish it off by eating the left over little bit of crunchy batter on the stick.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

An all beef frank wrapped in pastry and air fried would basically be the middle ground

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

So basically beef sausage pigs in a blanket?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's a sausage roll.

ETA: I prefer pork in my sausage rolls. I actually made pork fennel and apple sausage rolls today for tomorrow's monthly birthday breakfast at work. They're my favourite, and always a hit.

I'm going to start calling corn dogs Redneck Beef Wellington.

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The bread is just in the way of the beef IMO.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's like a prank. Aw man, bread for dinner against?! Then the kids cut in and there's a meat inside.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Sonic has $.99 corn dogs today. Which makes me irrationally old man mad because they were $.99 when I was a kid and should always be $.99!

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I took my wife and two kids out to Taco Bell and it cost me $50. That shit is criminal

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I feel like modern fast food is more for people without kitchens or avoid cooking almost entirely.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

In a high cost of living area that’s like seven spicy potato soft tacos each!

Not that the kids’ appetites will be driven by that small line of text on the menu board… (also this reminds me of people who have a no soda policy for the family so they can go out to eat and consistently save like three dollars a person)


My favorite part of modern eating is gating the best deals behind a spyware app so presumably they can sell your data (to your health insurer or something, when the next CEO decides they need a boost)

Remember when tacos at Taco Bell were under $1?

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 points 1 month ago

Damn, I remember about a decade ago when the deal was fifty cent corn dogs. My coworker looked at me like I was insane when I got $10 worth.

I think I ended up giving away like 6 of them.
