What a pleasant surprise to find a good ol’ carnival staple
at the local Costco – “Dagwood Dogs” aka Pluto Pup and Corn Dog.
As we walked through the frozen section and saw the 2kg box
(waving at us might I add), we had a quick discussion about how many dagwood
dogs would be in the box, how long it would it take for 2 people to eat and if
it will fit in our average-size top-door freezer - the end result was that we’re
buying it! A decision made with smiles on our faces.
After a quick search on the Internet, I found that it originated
from the land where many yummy foods are deep-fried, the USA. What a surprise -
not! Hehehe. Now there was no particular person or company that can be praised
for this food, but apparently it started around the late 1920’s to the 1940’s.
So it’s been making many carnival-goers happy for a long time now.
Anyway, I know that this food-on-a-stick is just a hot dog
coated in batter and then deep fried in oil but you must admit it brings back
good memories of a time you were at the local carnival or Sydney Easter Show.
But lucky for us, we have it in our freezer so we can have our very own carnival
at home on any day of the week! ;)
