Old Fashion Corndog Bites

By babeboomer

The "Bites" isn't the old fashion part, but more of a modern version of the corndog, itself. People like "bites." There's cheese bites, chicken bites, potato bites, veggie bites. There are convenient to eat since they are more bite-size. Children like them. They make a good finger-food. Or, if you prefer the old-fashion "Carnival Corndogs," just push a wooden stick into them and then deep fry for your authentic corndog.
With corndogs, you never have to worry about not enough hot dog buns in a package to go with the package of hot dogs. Never could figure that one out.......You'd think after a hundred years, they would have gotten it right by now.
But why you squander a thought? Well it's my belief that meat packers like meat in pounds and, well, our commercial bakers like their "baker's dozen." And, most hot dogs come 10 to a one pound package except for the few that now make "Jumbos" with 8 to a package. And, that big ole' dog is just too much meat in proportion to the bun. Just not the same. Although you can get the buns in an 8 or 12-pack.
Consumers just never put up a big enough fuss, so the proportions of our available dogs to buns will most likely stay the same for another century......Ditto!
