Pickle corn dog - does it belong here or in c/shittyfoodporn?

Are you insane? This is the greatest thing I have seen all week.
- Yes. I need to try one of these, wherever it may be.
  
  Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney district, CA. But I'm sure that's not the only place.
- I hate corn dogs, but even I kinda want to try one of those.
  
  It seems like one of those really messed up food choices that end up being surprisingly good, like putting cucumbers in cheese sandwiches.
- I bet it's even better dipped in good mayonnaise.
  
  Everything is better dipped in mayonnaise
Hmm, at first I was all in for this but then I thought of the possibilities:
The sausage is cold
The pickle is hot
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
- Deep fried pickles is a common pub food in my area
  
  Yeah I was thinking that hot pickles were weird but then I remembered deep fried pickles exist and are delicious, so therefore this pickle-corndog must be outstanding
  
  Damn, what are they like?
- Zucchini would be a great replacement.
  
  Yeah that could work, though I prefer zucchini fried or grilled
- For me, it's a no on proportion of pickle to the rest...too much pickle
- It's like you never tried fried cucumbers. On a serious note, pickle is there for taste, not for temperature, and it's not like a pickle is bad if it's in something hot
  
  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
- The TV show was great but the video game was Low-Key amazing as well.
I'm not going to tell you these pickle corn dogs will increase in value, or even hold their current value. The truth is, you bought 'em because you like 'em. They have value to you. That's what matters.
I honestly can't decide without having one. How was it, op?
I think this belongs everywhere
eat the crust and throw the rest on the ground for feral Willem Dafoe or seagulls
- Thank you for the mental image of the two most likely creature types to find it 😂
I'd eat it, but why is the hotdog sticking further out than the pickle?
- It was scared and pulled in a little while the person was biting. Then it popped back out.
  
  The thought of a hotdog smart enough to be scared is unsettling.
- Hot dog wants to expand when heated, but is contained within the pickle/batter shell. When cut open, hot dog has some free space to expand into.
  
  That's better than it being scared lol
- It’s playing “just the tip“
These are awesome. They belong in my stomach.
I want that so bad
- What I want to do is take all the people in the comments who say they want this and ones who are disgusted by this - and then put them on a reality tv dating show. I want to see them fall in love, then we bring out the pickle dogs. It would be beautiful.
  
  I already live like this, my girlfriend hates pickles and corn dogs but she knows I would devour this
The answer is yes.
- Seconded
Replace the hot dog with a brat, or like, rolled up corned beef and I’m ALL IN.
- You should try the German dish Rouladen, if you haven’t already. It’s thin slices of beef, pickles, and mustard rolled up. It’s mouth-watering, absolutely delicious.
This is the worst thing I've seen since Ohio-valley style pizza
- For the curious but lazy Lemming:
  Ohio Valley–style pizza is a pizza made with cold toppings sprinkled over a square crust that has been covered with a sweet tomato sauce. It originated in Steubenville, Ohio and is commonly served in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, mostly in and near the Ohio Valley region of those states.
  
  Sounds like the pizza Lunchable if adults were pretending it was food.
  
  Huh? Is there cheese? Is the sauce warm or cold?
  Apparently I'm from the civilized part of the state because I've never heard of this abomination.
  
  Why would they do that tho...? I feel sad now.
- Ohio-valley style pizza
  Had to look that up. Wow, that's just sad.
- Oh no, now I know about Ohio-valley style pizza!
Ive had one and it was quite tasty. Yours looks even better than the one i had. What's the sprinkle stuff on the outside?
- It looks like bread crumbs of some kind, not quite thin enough to be Panko style though.
  
  Panko is coarser than just breadcrumbs AFAIK
You have my interest
Wouldn't this just be a Chicago Corndog?
- It makes me sad to hear someone reduce the institution of the Chicago dog to a pickle 😆
  
  Well I mean, deep frying a bunch of sliced peppers and stuff would be rather difficult.
If that hot dog is hot, you get an A+
- now I'm wondering what a hot pickle would taste like, I guess we have hot floppy pickle slices on McDonald's hamburgers so I guess that's a thing
  
  I tried hot pickle on a toastie (grilled ham cheese sandwich) and it was great. Also added some flavored chili paste/sambal that time, also to great results. I love toasties.
  
  Deep fried pickles are a favorite of mine. They taste like pickles, but hot.
  
  Some BBQ places around here serve breaded fried pickle slices, they're too salty for me but people like them.
Where can this beautiful thing be had?
- Internet tells me disneyland.
  My wife is concerned about getting a hot-enough-dog where the pickle juice then doesnt scortch you mouth-parts.
  
  Disneyland? So this costs $25 and you have to wait an hour?
  
  Let it sit for a few minutes so the hot pickle innards can transfer their heat into the hotdog. Then the whole thing is just nice and warm.

I like pickles, and I like corn dogs... But what the fuck is wrong with you people!!! There are rules to what the flying duck goes in a fucking corn dog... For ducks sake...
- Rules are meant to be broken by those with vision!
- Fried duck is delicious!
If done well, this is straight up porn of the highest order.
Defo belongs here! That made me soo hungry...
I don't kink shame.
The smegma puts it in a whole other category
I got one of these at Disneyland.
Absolute 10/10
As someone who doesnt like pickles, it belongs in the trash.
ATBGE
From the thumbnail I thought it was a hotdog inside a golden gaytime.
- Ur a golden gaytime
- hotdog inside a golden gaytime.
  I dont know exactly what it is, but I'm pretty sure you can count me in.
  
  The best single serve ice cream in Australia imo.
  It is a toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in compound chocolate, and wrapped in vanilla biscuit-like "crumbs" on a wooden paddlepop-stick

What happened to the core sample they took out of the pickle? I hope they didn't waste it.
- They make inverse corndogs: pickle core with a breaded meat tube
did you enjoy it? I guess that’s all that matters
I'm unironically interested in trying it, but the ratios seem off at first glance. Too much crunch, not enough chew. Also the hot dog is already salty, so adding a salty pickle means you might need a sweet batter, and certainly more of it.
I think, much like a Chicago style dog, this could be amazing.
Looks delicuous.
I like the idea, deep fried pickles and corn dogs are good. This looks undercooked and possibly gross.
What if that outer coating was made of crispy onion straws? My tastebuds might explode.
