Me and John with French Fry-Encrusted Corndogs by newleypurnell.
Found on the street in Seoul, Korea. Very, very tasty. They cost about 1 US dollar.

Can you give us a comment with some detail about what the hell that thing is?

It looks like multiple hot dogs, covered in french fries, dipped in batter, and deep fried. Then covered in mustard & ketchup.

Hi, all. Wurp: they're just one dog -- but a very think one. And the fries that're on the outside are quite big, giving the thing such size. Also, they come with mustard and ketchup, which is right up my alley.

My favorite things in this world are those which manage to simultaneously entice and repulce.

That "corn dog" is like the KING of the contradictively disgusting/tastey food realm.

yumck!

That's got to be the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. And I'm on the internet, I've seen a lot of disgusting things.

Wow, looks like you guys had a great time in Seoul. Those dogs look mighty tasty! Now, if you could combine these with a trip to that bar with the frozen beer mugs...heavenly.

This so belongs in the Hotdog Pool!

How common are these dogs in Seoul? If possible I might try to visit there since I can take a ferry from a local port near where I am studying in China. It's always fun to have something obscure to seek out when travelling abroad.

gray_eminence: these corn/fry-dogs can be found all over the place in the Dongdaemun area of downtown Seoul. I highly recommend seeking them out!

Cool. If I ever get the chance, I'll do it for sure. Kind of reminds me of a toilet bowl restaurant in Taiwan I read about once.
