If I wanted a corndog, I'd... I'll never want a corndog.

[commodorified]

Nor I, tbh. But STILL.

[recessional]

Basically my comment.

I'm not sure if mom would like them, or if for her they'd defeat the point - like if the POINT of corndogs is like the point of Mars bars for me.

[julian]

If I were at a fair, I might eat it. (But I eat lots of things at fairs.)

[nenya_kanadka]

The...is...are the corndogs themselves tomato-basil-sausage, or is this a tomato basil sausage dish plus corndogs?

The former is more confuzzling for me. I am in general in favour of tomato-basil things, however.

[julian]

The sausage inside the corn wrapping (for lack of a better word) is tomato-basil. Is I think the idea?

[nenya_kanadka]

Hmmm, okay. My "Now you're just making shit up, Nightingale" vote stands, then. :D

[commodorified]

Correct.

IDEK.

[linaelyn]

OH DEITY-OF-ONE'S-CHOICE, I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO AFTERLIFE-OF-ONE'S-CHOICE.

[naraht]

I'm not entirely sure I know what a corndog is.

[commodorified]

Seaside food, originally.

A hotdog, dipped in cornmeal batter, deep-fried, onna stick.

I admire them greatly but don't much love them, despite liking all the individual ingredients.

[staranise]

Do you call them "pogos"? When I visited Ottawa that was my favourite regionalism.

ETA: HOW AM I THE ONLY HELL YEAH VOTE?

[niqaeli]

I mean, I'd eat them very cheerfully as long as the batter was safe for me, but my initial reaction was legit "hipsters gonna hip". (From me anyway, it's very affectionate and charmed and not disdainful or whatever! But, yeah.)

[indywind]

Probably tasty, but fair bet some components are needlessly "artisan."

[commodorified]

Totally Pogos. The menu calls them corndogs tho'

[linaelyn]

wait wait wait... y'all up there in the northern parts call corn dogs, "pogos"? As in, pogo stick, something to bounce up and down on?

OH CANADA. HOW I LOVE YOU and your (apparent? feigned?) innocence of innuendo.

[commodorified]

Actually... http://whatsdifferentincanada.tumblr.com/post/85239576334/pogo-sticks

[linaelyn]

Am I going to lose the next two hours of my life to that site?

Yup.

I rest my case on the innuendo thing.

[commodorified]

Robbies. Are. Awesome.

I must now find a way to use them as a plot point.

Canadian Housemate and I were assembling furniture last Friday, and I won't deny that there were points where I was saying huskily, "Tell me more about your... Robertson screws."

That evening was one long series of screwing jokes, with occasional diversions into nailing and hammering.

:D :D :D :D :D

[linaelyn]

IKEA assembly instructions have been a source of constant mirth in our household, re: the potential for little graphical illustrations of INSERT: Tab A => Slot B.

[james_g4clf]

Innuendo? Surely a corn dog is not an Italian suppository?

[linaelyn]

Hipster's gonna Hip was just too good to pass up. But I'm right there with you, HELL YEAH BABY. BEST IDEA EVAR.

[lenora_rose]

I put maybe, as closest to my actual thought - my precise answer is closer to "It sounds like something I would try once."

(There are things that sound horrible but you try once, on the off chance you're surprised and it becomes something you try twice or more. There are things you try never. Not even once. This is definitely the former, not the latter.)

[metawidget]

Why can't I tick more than one?

Hipsters gonna hip, but it could be tasty anyway…

[commodorified]

Why can't I tick more than one?

Because I like giving people forced-choice questions, because I R MEEN.

[linaelyn]

...because I R MEEN.

WE KNEW THIS.

[kalmn]

See, I'm going with maybe and now she's just making shit up.

I bet my kid would eat them.

[linaelyn]

Corndogs are nature's candy. Also, I'd hit that.

[fallconsmate]

usta woulda eaten, but tomato allergies. fuckers. *sighs*

tomatoes, strawberries, kiwifruit, avocado, mango, grapes, watermelon (ok, at that one, i cried), and most recently, potatoes.

trying to find things i can eat at restaurants is a challenge. although, i have found that sweet potato fries are very tasty!
