Eh, just give me a good bangers and mash.

What's that.. creamy white sauce adorning the spotted dick?

 

[Borachio]

Rum sauce. Oh, yes.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

It's probably salad cream.

 

[warpus]

Does rum sauce have rum in it? What else is in it? Could you put spotted dick sauce on a corn dog? e rr rum sauce

 

[Antilogic]

Man, I'm glad I didn't post what I thought it was.

 

[Borachio]

Salad cream! The UK isn't Belgium, you know.

Rum sauce does have rum in it.

Oh look, Delia Smith. I thought the old bat had died!

 

[warpus]

So basically rum sauce is rum, sugar, and butter. Mmmm

But now we're not even talking about corn dogs anymore. How much corn exactly goes into the production of 1 corn dog?

 

[Antilogic]

We talking ears of corn or cornmeal?

 

[Angst]

It really is a wonderful food. You guys are missing out.

Typical Americans to equate processed and carbfilled with wonderful. You guys seriously suck at cooking.

We talking ears of corn or cornmeal?

I dont know, whichever type of corn is responsible for corn dogs being named corn dogs.

Cornmeal doesn't contain corn? I would have expected it to.

 

[Borachio]

As far as I know, cornmeal is obtained from ears of corn.

But how much of either goes to make a corn dog, I wouldn't know. I'd guess not much. Just mix some cornmeal with some water, dip your sausage in it, and deep fry.

 

[bhsup]

You use corn meal to make the batter for corn dogs. Yes, corn meal consists of corn parts. Parts is parts!

 

[Antilogic]

It does. I figure you have a couple ounces of cornmeal per corn dog, but I don't know how much corn you have to mill to get a couple ounces of cornmeal.

At my favorite corn dog outlet the frankfurter inside is made of corn fed chicken, making it even more of a corn dog.

 

[Kennigit]

Arent frankfurters supposed to be in the red meat family?

 

[JollyRoger]

 

[gay_Aleks]

These things suspiciously look like duners.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Arent frankfurters supposed to be in the red meat family?

I always considered them to be in the 'mystery meat' family. At least at my favorite place they freely admit their hot dogs are made of chicken, with 'all beef' available at a higher price.
