Corn dogs are battered though. A beef wellington is actually a posh sausage roll.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 months ago

sausage rolls are posh french hot dogs

No, corn dogs are just wellingtons.

Everything is either a soup, a sandwich, or a wellington.

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 4 months ago

I posit that a sandwich is just a really badly made wellington.

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Or a wellington is just sandwich that is sealed in

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah Wellington is a sandwich. So are hotdogs and hamburgers (when sandwiched between bread). Wellingtons as just meat uncrustables (RIP).

Steak is an ingredient. When you plate it with steak sauce, it becomes a soup.

[-] banana_lama@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Without sauce. Just steak. With dry seasoning

That's salad to you.

Pigs in Blankets are this (pork sausage wrapped in bacon):

What you're describing is a sausage roll (pork sausage wrapped in pastry):

I'm all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

Kind of ironic this is where you're making a stand.

The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

And the one in the photo is a beef wellington.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

Are the UK pigs are always wrapped in bacon? In the states the "blanket" is far more commonly some sort of bread, like puff pastry.

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The states are wrong. That's a sausage roll, and it's been a sausage roll for decades. The whole "pig in a blanket" thing is a new thing from people that basically reinvented the sausage roll and didn't have the sense to check if it already existed.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that wars were started over less, and Australia and the UK would probably happily have their finger on the nuclear button if America doesn't come to its senses and just embrace the correct food names...

Anger aside, I'm absolutely shocked that Greggs hasn't tried to make its way stateside. Extremely cheap, fast food that's greasy as fuck, has barely any nutritional value, and so convenient that you can just eat it out of the bag - sounds like an American dream.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sausage roll does not apply since hot dogs are not sausages. And I love sausage rolls.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I've found American food is generally less liquidy grease than british food. Americans don't want fried chicken dripping in grease, they want it dried then covered in various sauces. Also places like golden corral and cracker barrel already exist and are kinda dying

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No idea why this is downvoted, America does love a condiment. Thankfully, sausage rolls are extremely dippable, and some people do decide to dunk them in all sorts. It's not something I'd do, but I'd tolerate it.

oh no... anyway, moving on....

Inb4: today I'll show you how to cook a corn dog from this premium Iberico pork...

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If you make the Good Mythical Kitchen 7-11 beef Wellington: It's the exact same socioeconomic background as the corn dog.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

According to the cube rule, these are both Calzones.

[-] froh42@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago
[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah. Everything is soup with a good enough blender.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I like cornbread and I like hot dogs, so why I have I never liked corn dogs?

[-] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 3 points 4 months ago

It’s the breadluminati. They are everywhere.

[-] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 months ago

Nobody ever put mushroom duxelles in my corndogs. I feel cheated.

[-] erie09@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, the corn dog got shafted by the machine

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I mean depends on the dog really, some good ones can have pork mixed in too.

[-] enbyecho@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Perhaps if you've only ever eaten corn dogs...

That thing on the right, isn't a Fletchers so it's disqualified as a corn dog.
