My kids only eat the dog. They rip off and discard the delicious corn coating like it’s a banana peel. Why don’t we just offer them regular hot dogs, you ask? We do, but “they don’t taste the same.” Monsters. So now we don’t buy corn dogs because I’m not paying corn dog prices for hot dog meals.
I do the same and the logic is with us. Crust first ensures you will not experience any toppings or condiments running away. You get everything behaving itself riiight in the middle.
That might just be me; I am obsessed with condiments.
I imagine you gotta get that hint of sweet and gritty leftover corn wrap, too, though. And the crunchy bit at the bottom. It’s a delicacy that’s hard to re-create.

My partner does almost the same thing, she eats the skin off completely and then eats the hot dog part you know, like a psychopath
Yup that’s frightening behavior indeed
I can’t fault her for that. I eat sandwiches crust first. She’s basically doing the same thing.

I prefer the taste of non-crust over crust, so it allows me to savor that which I truly enjoy
Power move right there… Better not piss her off
You check the ingredients? Corn dogs are often chicken sausages, whereas normal hot dogs are usually beef/pork?

Just like Elaine’s muffin top ritual in Seinfeld. Ya gotta bake the whole muffin, pop the top, dump the stump, or it’s not the same
Even when we made them corn dogs, it didn’t work. It was like trying to give someone soup not made by the Soup Nazi
We tried to make our own corn dogs, thinking that would be cheaper for them to destroy, but they didn’t like them.
Yea, my husband has tried different types of hotdogs, but hasn’t had any luck with them
try the nekked hot dogs on a stick for the kids. just tell 'em you took the ‘gross skin’ off already for them.
Tried it. Even tried making my own batter that I then rip off. It’s not the same was the response.
Fun fact: the term for corn dog in Japan is America dog.
TIL 🌈
That is when you start giving them regular hotdogs and tell them they were pealed corndogs.
They won’t eat them. So corn dogs/hot dogs just aren’t on the menu anymore.
