I'm doing a bit of research about penis-shaped things and I realized that not every country is going to have the American delicacy known as the corn dog. If you're not an American, please post here with your country and whether or not you have such a thing please. I'm asking nicely because this is really important to me.

In Australia, we have such a thing and it is called either a 'Dagwood Dog' or 'Pluto Pup'

Edit: their popularity is questionable at best

Japan has "Big American Dogs" at 7/11 which are corn dogs. Upon further research, I guess that's what the British called them because they can't call foods using the correct words, and the Japanese just use that term.

None here in Germany.

...I've been looking. :'(

Gonna have to build my own out of bird seed and bubblegum.

Fortunately, we don't have corn dogs here in Germany.

The one corn dog I once ate at a fair in Michigan was one of the two most disappointing food items I ever had. Since I learned to expect over the top artificial flavors from "surprise food" in the US, I thought the thing that was offered to me on a stick was like a hot pocket, filled with sauces and other stuffing to add some flavour. But no, it was a tasteless sausage in a flavourless bun on a stick. That's it. I don't understand why anybody on the face of this planet would eat something like that as long as they have access to anything else.

It's as demented as the British drinking tea when they could be slurping tasty coffee instead.

The other disappointing food I had in the US were grits. I was in Louisiana, and the Cajoun food convinced me that I could forget the Corn Dog debacle and that I had finally found a place in the US where everything was tasty. I mean: just thinking of Jambalaya, Gumbo, dirty rice, etc makes my mouth water right now. But then one day, I tried grits. The singular most uninspired and flavorless food in the world. What's the point of that? Even a corndog has a stick, which is at least an attempt make it more interesting, or to polish that turd, so to speak. But grits is just a slab of grey slime with white stuff in it that tastes of absolutely nothing. And that's all there is to it.

Now if you were an 18th century puritan, and you had few ressources and thought that tasty food was a sin, I guess that it would make sense to base your diet on grits and corn dogs. But nowadays? What reason could there be to eat that crap other than the belief that any other food will get you punished in the afterlife?

No (unless I make my own at home, which is more of a pain than you might think, or I guess on US military bases).

But then our hotdogs come in jars in brine so, yeah, we bad at dogs.

There is a dive bar that only sells corn dogs after midnight and they are awesome. Jalapeno in the batter and good spicy mustard.

I currently live in Japan. They have them but they are called American Dogs. Don't think you can ask for an American dog and actually get a corn dog though. You have to say it like Ah may re kan dog gu.

Yeah, what in the gently caress are grits supposed to be anyway ? When I was in university in Georgia, all that these fat slobs would talk about were grits.
So I finally went to a diner, managed to order some grits and then they bring me this useless and flavourless slime ??

I guess, apparently, grits are a vessel for obese American people to heap butter and cheese upon. Those two of course being representative of 90 % of American cuisine.

Grits is corn porridge. Porridge is rarely good. The closest thing to good porridge is congee. This is because they cheat and put pork and onion and egg in there sometimes.

This is as good as grits gets, and its made by a homo in SF and not that great

Alton Brown's corndog recipe is outstanding and if you don't mind getting messy produces the best dogs of corn. You can use your dog of choice, brats also work but can get greasy, even by Southern standards.
