A corn dog is a popular American snack made by coating a hot dog in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and then deep-frying it until golden brown. This treat is often served on a stick, making it easy to eat at fairs, carnivals, and sporting events. Corn dogs can be enjoyed plain or with various condiments, such as mustard, ketchup, or relish. They are a favorite among both children and adults, often associated with outdoor gatherings and summer festivities. The combination of savory hot dog and sweet, crispy batter makes corn dogs a unique and tasty option.
