corn dogs

Fried fairground franks

A corn dog is a hot dog on a stick, coated in cornmeal batter and deep-fried.

The crispy, slightly sweet exterior contrasts with the savory frankfurter inside.

Corn dogs are classic American fair food, sold at carnivals, amusement parks, and sporting events, though frozen versions are common in grocery stores: The kids wanted corn dogs and funnel cake at the state fair.
