Corndogs! It’s not an animal, nor a plant. It’s the new craze in town and it’s the definition of awesome.
People say that there is a specific trend that will occur every now and then in our life. At the moment, there is this one trend that’s taking me into interstellar – corndogs.
I never thought that I’ll be an apologist, but how I love eating corndogs. There is something truly magical when I bite into its layers of crunchy batter. It is meatier and simply scrumptious.
Corndogs, the perfect mix of sweet and savory, a fun snack or a meal that features a hot dog, coated in a layer of cornmeal batter that has been deep fried and served on a wooden stick.
My first experience with these dogs is actually, virtual. Around unearthly time, I encountered a video exploring different Korean street food. Everything went to a blur except some hotdogs on sticks. Since it is a common street food in my locality, the sight hot dogs on sticks does not excite me. It is served grilled or fried, and once, I ate a steamed one and it tasted like it was cooked by the devil. Anyway, these dogs on stick are kinda weird. They’re bulky and have some heft to it.
But, boy oh boy, when you bit on it and the cheese oozed out, I was immediately enamored. I want to devour one immediately, notwithstanding that I was just watching a video of it. By the way those videos of food during unearthly hours, often result to unhealthy diet.
After my first encounter with the corndogs, I was more than ready to satisfy this latest craving. I went out to find one in the local suburbs, and came back with nothing, only to stumble one seller not far from my house.
My second experience with the corndog, admittedly, was not a good one. I was eager to taste it and the anticipation of the first bite was killing me. My adrenaline was kicking in and my stomach is primed to have it.
Finally, my order was ready and the server dropped it front of me. And there goes my adrenaline plunging to the bottomless pit. It was not a corndog. It was a hotdog rolled on flattened bread. What a joke! That explains why I was skeptical of its price. Okay, there is a lesson here somewhere. First times are always disappointing.
Pondering while writing this, I’ve had lot relationships with hotdogs. It was not love at first bite for me. I found it gross. Fast forward to this day and I am a happily and regularly munching on some corndogs.
And to all skeptics out there, I am inviting you to taste it too. Join the trend and it can change your life, and well, your wallet, too. Authentic corndogs are pricy as hell.
Moral of the story, spend on something that your stomach craves, it is worth it.
But well, who I am to judge. I’m just a simple boy using my voice to raise awareness that reciprocates as rants and raves. – NWI
