Buffalos and Corndogs... What?

Question

Firstly what is a corndog? It's food right, but is it what we brits call corn on the cob???

Secondly, Buffalo wings? Buffalos don't really have wings do they? If it is about size, why not call then Whale wings?( you get Alliteration in the ame too!)

Answer 1

well actually they are small. Buffalo, New York is the city that hot wings originated in and corn dogs have cornbread wrapped around them.

Answer 2

Corn Dog: hot dog on a stick covered in corn meal batter and fried, thus, a Corn Dog

Buffalo wings: spicy chicken wings often served with blue cheese dressing and celery (to cool your mouth) first made popular in a restaurant in Buffalo, N.Y. Hence - Buffalo Wings

Answer 3

First a corndog is a hot dog on a stick which is then dipped in something similar to cornbread and deepfried...Very tasty and common at Fairs and Amusement parks in the US.

Buffalo wings actually refer to the City of Buffalo where they became popular. Its basically just a spicy chicken wing....

Answer 4

Hey, I'm from Britain too, after watching enough american TV (it doesn' always rot your brain) I know that a corn dog is a hot dog coated in cornbread batter and fried in hot oil, although there are baked variations. They were originally made without sticks, almost all corn dogs are now on sticks.
Canadians call these pogos. They are known in Australia as Dagwood Dogs, Pluto Pups or Dippy Dogs. In Japan they are sometimes referred to as America dogs, but they are far from popular. They were created in 1942 for the Texas State Fair by Neil Fletcher.
Buffalo wings are basically spicy chicken wings and were first prepared at the Anchor Bar on Main Street, near the corner of North Street, in Buffalo, New York on October 3, 1964. Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of the Anchor Bar with her husband Frank, had the idea of deep frying chicken wings, soaking them in hot sauce, and serving them to their bar patrons with celery sticks and blue cheese salad dressing.
So I hope that answers your question!

Answer 6

corn dog is a hot dog coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oil, although there are baked variations.

Buffalo wings (known simply as wings in much of the Northeastern United States, especially in areas around Buffalo), are unbreaded chicken wing sections (called flats and drums), deep fried, and coated in a cayenne pepper-based sauce with other seasonings. Although many variations on this sauce exist, the original sauce is composed of only five ingredients: cayenne pepper sauce, white vinegar, butter, salt, and garlic. When using a prepared hot sauce of vinegar and cayenne pepper, the recipe is simply a mixture of hot sauce and melted butter. Buffalo wings are named after the city of Buffalo, New York where they originated, and the appellation "buffalo" is now commonly applied to foodstuffs other than wings that are seasoned with the sauce or close variations on it.

They are both really delicious....

ingredients; mix well. Insert wood skewers into ends of hotdogs. Pour oil into skillet to
depth of 1 inch. Heat oil to 375 degrees (I use my electric wok for this). Coat hotdogs
with batter. If batter is too thick, add 1-2 Tab. milk. Arrange coated hotdogs 3 at a time
in hot oil; turn hotdogs with tongs after 10 seconds to prevent batter from sliding off.
Cook 3 minutes, turning again halfway through cooking time. Serve hot with mustard
if desired.
