Food on a stick: meet the Waffledog

Waffle dog on a stick. Ladies and gentlemen, appreciators of odd foods everywhere, meet the waffledog.

That's a hot dog wrapped in a waffle, doused in ketchup and eaten on a stick. Sound like a good idea to you? Me too.

In my opinion, the most surprising thing about this unusual treat is not the flavor combo (bacon and waffles are good, chicken and waffles are good, so why not hot dog and waffles?) but the fact that it was NOT made in America, proud home of so many foods-within-foods (think turducken - a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey - or mozzarella-stuffed pizza crust or cheesecake-stuffed chimichangas).

Nope, this baby was born in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, as reported on journalist Newley Purnell's blog. Apparently there are French fry-coated corn dogs to be had on the streets of Seoul, South Korea.

I wonder if I could replicate this with my waffle iron...

And they could inject ketchup, mustard, cheese, and stuff inside. I remember eating it in the '80s... not sure when it started... KC Drive Inn closed but I think someone else might've picked it up...
