Food on a stick: meet the Waffledog

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...

Food always tastes better when served on a stick

Is there anything people won't put on a stick and call it fair food? I do love the way the American food culture embraces impaling food prior to eating.

Personally, I've always been a fan of food on a stick. When I was 9 years old, I spent the summer in Hawaii with my aunt, uncle and cousins. In addition to teaching me about the wonders of Hawaiian cuisine (spam, white rice and some excellent banana pancakes), that summer was when I was first introduced to the fast food chain, Hot Dog on a Stick. I thought it was the height of entertainment to watch the girls in the ridiculously tall stripes hats create cornbread encased hot dogs and sticks of cheese. From that moment on, I was fascinated by foods that were served on a stick. To this day I enjoy corn dogs, kabobs, popsicles and skewers of any and all kinds. I do believe I need to visit the Minnesota State Fair!

Cooking on a Stick, Cookbook of the Day

If you ever went camping as a child, chances are that you have a vivid memory of the first thing that you cooked or ate, whether it was hot dogs, s'mores or simply marshmallows, it was probably cooked on a stick. After all, was there any reason to go camping if you didn't get to eat food off a stick? You know that no one was out there for the mosquito bites.

Cooking on a Stick: Campfire Recipes for Kids is a book full of camping recipes that children can make on their own. It is aimed at the 7-11 age range and written specifically for kids, unlike some books that are simply about feeding them when you're doing the cooking. The book covers basic fire safety, describing how to build a fire properly (sort of seems like a boy scout/girl scout thing) and how to put it out, before introducing the young cooks to easy recipes with cute, appealing names. In addition to the stick foods (Moose Kebabs and Ranger's Apple Pie), there are foods cooked in pouches (Favorite Beans and Hibernating Bananas), grilled foods and snacks, like GORP.

And, yes, there is a recipe for s'mores, too.
