Beef Wellington is encased in pastry and not fried. Also has a layer of a pate like substance inside. Completely different than a corn dog.

Sounds good. Would like to try it.

I tried corn dogs for the first time a couple years ago after being curious about them for years and honestly I was pretty disappointed, though I'm not sure what else I expected

Which variety was it? Have you tried a Korean one?

never a fan of corn dogs

Corn dog quality can vary greatly, and is highly dependent on environment when consuming

Take it to the Nebraska thread (meat surrounded by bread - same thing)

Fried cornmeal batter isn’t bread, but I defer to your vast food expertise.

Thank goodness for the burrito roach which has saved me more times than maybe any other dish in existence.

Macarons are overrated. In fact, I usually go out of my way to avoid them if they’re available for consumption.

to be fair, she was probably eating ones in paris that are better (relatively) than anything you can get here.

note: i don't even know if that's possible (i'm not a macaron expert (i'm sure trag will chime in)), but it sounds right.

First, it’s cinnamon rolls topped with chili and now you don’t eat corn dogs? What kind of godforsaken hell is this midwest you continually attempt to end discussions with?
