Blog 1

Having a website called wannacorndog, some have suggested that it is practically my duty to have at least tried a corndog at some time or another.

In the past I have laughed in the face of these critics, then apologised for laughing directly in their faces, sometimes offering a tissue to help wipe away the flecks of saliva from their faces caused by the extreme close up , often unwarranted and downright rude behaviour.

Some may never speak to me again, the ones who did were told shortly afterwards that if I did eat a corndog, I could not guarantee that I would like them enough to still yearn after one and that I may have to change my website name to hadacorndog. Which just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I did assume one day I would eat a corndog, perhaps from a dirty cart in a park somewhere in America, which I am led to believe is the main supply of corndogs into the cholesterol filled artery of the world, never had I thought I would make a corndog myself, until now!

Well actually until over 8 months ago, I intended to write an article about it for the website as soon as we made them, but life and things get in the way, better things to do, can't be bothered and other such reasons/excuses or whatever you want to call them just happen.

So there we were the date was 01/10/2008 and we had acquired:



Corn Meal flour (the corn part) at the bargain reduced price of 10p!





Hot Dog Sausages (the dog part)




And a bunch of other crap that you need to make them with.

Except the doritos.. They were just for us.

So we made some batter using a top secret recipe, or you know the first recipe when you type "corndog recipe" into google, which should look something like this but a bit goopier.

These are then dropped in a mass of oil and fried in much the same way as a salad would not be, and the result:


A reet mess in Rachael's kitchen. Along with some crunchy meat substance on a stick.

Just like you see on tv.. right?
well it was our first time, you do it better then. notice the lines of mustard, you could put that as the poster in a fast food place. Well I think we did well.





so whats the verdict then?

The 'corn' dog
What is it?
Its a sausage on a stick battered in corn batter
Where do you get it? From Rachael's kitchen after some hard and greasy work.
What do you think?

I was bound to like it, I had to for the sake of the website. Very enjoyable, though very sickly after 2, couldn't have ate more but it gets full marks. Maybe we'll try it minus the sugar next time.
