Corn dog
Corn Dog is a popular snack food in many parts of the world, including Argentina. It is a sausage (usually a hot dog) that is coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep fried.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "corn dog" originates from the United States and is a combination of the words "corn" (referring to the cornmeal batter) and "dog" (referring to the hot dog sausage). The exact origin of the term is unknown, but it has been in use since at least the 1920s.
Description[edit | edit source]
A Corn Dog is a type of sausage that is coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and then deep fried. The sausage used is typically a hot dog, but other types of sausages can also be used. The cornmeal batter gives the corn dog its distinctive taste and texture.
In Argentina, corn dogs are known as Panchukers and are often served with a variety of sauces, including ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. They are a popular snack food and are often sold at fairs and carnivals.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare a corn dog, the sausage is first skewered on a stick. It is then dipped in the cornmeal batter and deep fried until the batter is golden brown and crispy. The corn dog is then allowed to cool slightly before being served.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of the corn dog. In Argentina, for example, the sausage used can vary, and the batter may be flavored with different spices or herbs. Some variations may also include cheese or other ingredients in the batter.
