A hot dog stuffed in a pickle...

[mjr]

then battered and deep fried.

Yes, you read that right. It's called the "Dilly Dog".

A pickle is hollowed out, a hot dog put in it, and the whole thing is battered and deep fried, like a corn dog.

It looks like this (WIMG distorted the picture, so click for full size):



People are torn. People who haven't tried it either think it'll be disgusting or really good.

It's at the pro baseball stadium in this area. They had 500 of them for Opening Day, and sold them all by the end of the 5th inning.

If you used a proper sausage instead of a hot-dog sausage I might try it. I'd probably need to swim about 20 miles afterwards to make myself feel better about it, though.

[Ghel]

That sounds good. Especially with mustard.

The only question I have is what do they do with the rest of the pickle? Turn it into relish?

[Trixie]

Not something I'd eat but having all the news stories in my area about the big food at the state fair every year, eh. It really is one of the big news stories in the city so nothing surprises me anymore.

[Dreamstalker]

I have to at least try that thing.

[Nunavut Pants]

I would if it were convenient. I like corn dogs, so one with an integral pickle sounds quite reasonable!

... Though I'm a heathen and put ketchup on mine ...

[morgana]

I'd at least try it . . .

[taxguykarl]

Sounds good. I'd be inclined to try it.

[mjr]

Like Nunavut, I also put ketchup on my hot dogs.

But I digress.

Apparently these things are selling like crazy. From what I understand, they're $10 a piece, and the lines for them at the games are LONG.

[AnaKhouri]

Oh hot damn, I would eat the hell out of that.

[taxguykarl]

The only question I have is what do they do with the rest of the pickle? Turn it into relish?

Here is another idea. Quite good, in fact.

[Karlsen]

Oh hot damn, I would eat the hell out of that.

Same here. While trying to picture it in my head, I was kind of iffy on it, but after seeing that pic I would try it in a heartbeat. It actually looks delicious.

[Mental_Mouse]

Oh yeah, I'd eat that!! Corn dog * fried pickle!

[dalesys]

Oh hot damn, I would eat the hell out of that.

I know what I'm wrapping in a pickle!
