Pickle corn dog - does it belong here or in c/shittyfoodporn?
Pickle corn dog - does it belong here or in c/shittyfoodporn?
Internet tells me disneyland.
My wife is concerned about getting a hot-enough-dog where the pickle juice then doesnt scortch you mouth-parts.
Hmm, at first I was all in for this but then I thought of the possibilities:
I really don’t want either so this is a hard pass
Don’t underestimate warm/hot pickles.
The sausage potentially being cold/cool is offputting, but not a total dealbreaker. But heated pickles are yummy. Think about them fried, or on burgers. The taste of them becomes more complex and interesting. I can see this being a damn nice combination of flavors, even if the interior isn’t as consistent as could be ideal.
And there’s no guarantee it won’t cook evenly.
The problem with hot pickles is the same as with tomatoes. It’s tasty, but the liquid just burns your mouth.
And since the sausage is inside the pickle, it takes considerable amount of heating the pickle to get the sausage warm/hot
Well, I guess if you go at it immediately, that would be a problem.
I just figured out would be like most “portable” food where it gets cooked in batches and kept warm. This would let carryover cooking bring the inner parts up to the desired temp range, while the more exterior parts would be cooling to a comfortable range by the process.
It’s kinda like with some fast food; having it sit is calculated into the end product so that it doesn’t dry out or over cook in the expected serve time. With the sausages being precooked, it’s a matter of getting them to a pleasing range rather than reaching a specific safe temp like it would be for other sausages.
But, yeah, I see what you mean. If it’s fried on demand, the pickle juices would be brutal.
I haven’t tried fried cucumbers, true.
I understand that the pickle is not there for temperature, it’s kind of obvious. But to cook this food, you’ll first transfer heat from the frying oil into the corn thing, then into the cucumber, and finally into cooking the sausage. The cucumber will be hot before the sausage warms up.
The cucumber also likely has considerable amount of thermal mass due to being some high 90% of water, and the corn thing probably works as insulation to keep the heat from escaping.
It really looks like something that would burn your mouth in an instant
So good. Better in ranch and with a side of texas cheese fries (which are better than regular cheese fries), also with ranch.
Followed by pizza, which you also have with ranch.
