    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.

      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

        I can’t fault her for that. I eat sandwiches crust first. She’s basically doing the same thing.

          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 prefer the taste of non-crust over crust, so it allows me to savor that which I truly enjoy

      You check the ingredients? Corn dogs are often chicken sausages, whereas normal hot dogs are usually beef/pork?

        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.

          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.

        Tried it. Even tried making my own batter that I then rip off. It’s not the same was the response.

      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.
