Its been a long time since I had a good corn dog. Now Im hankering for one or two.

Haven't had one in close to 30 years. I voted for 3 but I might not be able to finish the 3rd one. And yes would need sweet tea with them and sneak some taters in with my onion rings please. Mustard only- I am not a Barbarian

Haven’t had one in decades - but if memory serves, I preferred a mix of mustard and ketchup to dip them in.

The Southerner in me, now thinks we need to put “possum dogs” on the menu, and refuse to explain them to curious Yankees.

Let me tell you about the time a buddy of mine discovered the pancakes on a stick in the freezer section. They're basically corndogs made of pancake patter with sausage in the middle.

Dip in syrup. He went nuts as like a 40 year old adult that didn't know these were a thing.

Everytime I see a corn dog it takes me back to Saturday nights in the early 70's. My Dad would take me to dirt track races and buy me corn dogs. Good memories.

Corn dog, mustard and hot sauce.

Hot dog on a stick seems so unappealing but yes please, with yellow mustard.

NEVER TASTED ONE. I WILL TRY TO FIX THAT SOON. WHY YELLOW MUSTARD? THE COARSE GROUND WITH HORSERADISH TYPE IS MORE BETTER.

Haven't had one in a while. I'll try to get to a fair when one comes around and get one fresh out of the grease. Yellow American mustard is what it be

For people like me it's nostalgia since it's how I've eaten them my whole life at fairs, restaurants (e.g. mall food court), and when reheated at home.

How do you know the fancy mustard is better on a corn dog if you've never tasted one. Sounds like a head to head taste test is in order.

LOCAL COUNTY FAIR WATCHING THEM DIP AND THEN DROP A CORN DOG, IT TOOK FOREVER TO FINISH. THEN A RED AND YELLOW RACING STRIPE TO DECORATE IT. AVOIDING BURNING THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH. GOOD MEMORIES!

Might need to get me an air fryer for frozen corn dogs (I'll try the microwave first though). Not that many places off the top of my head make them fresh. I'm out of yellow mustard (French's is my choice) but do have a jar of Grey Poupon, and horseradish.

Thumbing through the pages of History in my memory; K-Mart of old made real good ones.

Planning to make it into DC tomorrow for the National State Fair events/celebrations. Fresh corn dogs should be available; will report back.

To the yellow mustard skeptics, I rarely eat yellow mustard on anything. It is perfect for corn dogs.

It's like when I went to Carnegie Deli in NYC and got a Frank Sinatra, piles of corned beef and pastrami on rye. I asked for mayo and the servers didn't quite balk, but slightly recoiled and gave their delicious deli mustard also. The deli mustard was perfect, and mayo was out of place.

JCI Grill (formerly James Coney Island) has corn dogs and I couldn't resist having one for lunch.


No photos, but couldn't resist having a cheese coney dog either.

I'll be that guy. Never found these to be appetizing in any way. Pass!

Apologies in advance to any LSU fans. This is internet humor, apparently first posted by an Auburn fan 20 years ago prior to a football game with the corn dogs… I mean LSU.


————————-

LSU fans smell just like corn dogs.

Yes, it is often said, but so, so true.

LSU fans do smell like corn dogs.

I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something better said at internet distances. Even now, I am afraid.

I am afraid that they'll know I said it. I'll walk past an LSU fan someday, and he'll see that look in my eye that gives it away. That look that says, "gee, what is that smell? Is it corn dogs?" The next thing you know, I'll have flat tires on my car.

If you only learn one thing from me today, remember not to tell LSU fans how they smell - you know, like corn dogs.

LSU fans seem, somehow, sensitive to that whole corn dog issue.



I think this may be why a lot of fans get beaten up by LSU fans. If you attend a game in Baton Rouge, try to avoid telling them that they smell like corn dogs. Say something else instead. Like, "Wow, LSU sure does have a great team this year. This is going to be a great SEC game."

It's hard. I know. It's like when you're having sex and you try to think about baseball. That corn dog smell is just so overwhelming. It makes it hard for you to think about football or baseball or whatever else. Your brain wanders into corn dog topics like: "Gee, I wonder if I took a bite of your finger, if you would taste just like a corn dog?"; or "Is this a real person or is it a giant corn dog trying to make me think it is a real person?" or "What did that giant corn dog just say?" or "Excuse me, Mister, why is it that you smell just exactly like corn dogs smell?" or, of course, after a silencer: "Madam, did you just let the corn dogs out?"

Heck, after what I've heard about LSU fans, I think it may be better not to smell them at all. Okay, not all of them. Some of them are nice. Sure. Smell the nice ones. That's okay.

You know what else is a bad thing to do? Holding your nose around them. They are real sensitive to that, too. Try holding your breath. But don't be obvious about it. Somehow they know you're trying not to breathe in the corn dog smell. And that offends them. They'll likely punch you for that if they catch on to what you're doing.

If you do breathe it in long enough, though, it'll permeate your whole body, and then you'll smell like a corn dog just like they do. But don't say, "Dang, now I smell like a corn dog." They take offense to that. And they will throw things. But not corn dogs. Hard stuff. Stuff that leaves bruises and makes you bleed. Then you may have to get stitches or something. Just don't say it. If you do start smelling like a corn dog, just shut up about it. Okay?

I think kids are acutely aware of corn dog smells too. Counsel your kids on how to behave around LSU fans. If LSU fans are driving around town, do not let your kids stick their heads out of your car window and sniff the air. No. Keep your windows rolled up. An odd change in their expression - indicating they smell corn dogs - might get a wrench or pipe or some other object tossed at your windshield. So, that's dangerous. Let your kids stick their heads out of the car windows as you drive - on some other weekend

I know you are just as puzzled as I am about some of this corn dog stuff. What puzzles me most is that I've never actually seen any of these LSU fans with a corn dog in their hand. Okay, maybe there's no mystery there - maybe they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows?

Maybe there's a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work there. Maybe, there's a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume. Maybe their city council puts corn dog juice in the water supply - kind of like fluoride. The politics there are probably weird. The big political issue during the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more mustard to the water. Don't comment on it though. It's not politically correct over there. It's like a malnutrition issue or something. It's like the corn dogs are probably added to the water to prevent starvation or something.

I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh. Here I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'll bet the people here smell just like boiled crawfish or shrimp etoufee' or some fancy Cajun food." But just stop thinking that. That's just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs.

In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn dog odor. And don't try masking the odor with something stronger. They'll curse at you. They'll say something like: "WTF, how dare you smoke a cigar in my home," or "WTF!! Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?" and they'll cuss out your kids too: "WTF!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts like he doesn't want to smell like corn dogs."

Cajuns are not like us. Don't you see that, yet? They are really sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know, I know. Don't press your luck with the Cajun tiger fans. Don't refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that's just wrong. Even if you've been drinking, they'll beat you up and curse out your kids.

Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction - even if you're laughing about something else. Like baseball or football, or sex or whatever. If you can't control yourself and you must laugh though, do not snort. The snorting makes them think that you smell their corn dog body odor from a distance or that you're choking on it or something. They'll likely burn your van for that. We lost a campus building over just one snort.

So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get your corn dog jollies at home.

Enough with this corn dog talk. Let's play ball...

That's quite the treatise on LSU fans sensitivity to suggestions they smell like corn dogs. I would have thought fried shrimp, fried oysters, boiled crawdads or hushpuppies.

"Always have some in the freezer" WTH are you poserlosers talking about? That's ware the ice crim goes, nots a fresh corny dawg!

Get OUT of here if you don't have a frequent flyer card to Gail's Place in Carthage, TX. Best damn dog you'll ever git, and I'm only 3-4 punches from a free'un!

if only I lived there stead of passin thru on my way to visit our son.
