Corndog Virgin

Just one more of the many embarrasing things I need to admit to....

So I was at my friend's house and we were getting lunch. Her kitchen wasn't stalked with much so we pretty much only had a chouce between hamburgers, corndogs, and good ol' PB&J sandwiches. I had had sandwiches the day before so I didn't really feel like having that again. And I don't eat beef so hamburgers were immediatly out of the question. Well that just left corndogs. I've seen them in countless movies, and heard plenty of references to them, but I've never figured out exactly what they are. Cleary they're some type of hot dog, but i didn't know what corn had to do with that. Well, I didn't really want to set myself up for embarrasment, but I had to ask "Um...so what's a corndog exactly?" To which my friend simply gave me an incredulous look which I responded to with a sheepish grin. She just shook her head.

"Good Lord Anna, where have you been all your life?"
"Europe."
"Well yeah, but you must have seriously missed something from your childhood if you don't know what a corndog is."
"Well...corndogs are an American thing."
*she shakes her head* "You are so sad. A corndog is just a hotdog on a stick."
"Where does the corn come in?"
"It's the breading."

Wierd. Dogs on a stick with cornbread....I must have missed something from my childhood, because I don't really get it.....but it turns out we did have them for lunch. And they're not half bad I guess.....
