spiced meat, which are stuck on a corndog stick, dipped into a decently
light batter almost like a tempura batter, and then quickly deep-fried.
One eats them with ketchup.  Sold by a couple of the Norwegian-heritage
type groups located here in town....booth is usually down the row from
the fry-bread booth I donate time at (nummers!) and the tater-pig booth
(baking potato hollowed out with an apple corer and filled with link
sausage [often known locally as "piggy sausages"] before being wrapped
in foil and baked...mmmmmm-mmmmm)


Oddly enough, this is what is known as a 'hotdog' in NZ and is commonly sold
in fish and chip shops. Not being of the fish eating persuasion, this was
what I ate as a child when we got takeaways. The frankfurter in a bun hotdog
is known as an 'American hotdog' and tends not to be as common.
