That corn dog is already from a different socioeconomic background, all my corn dogs have looked like this

[-] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 1 points 1 month ago

Nice corn dog in my opinion, bon apetite and shit.

But what about sausage rolls?

Corn dog is just hotdog with a identity crysis.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

A hotdog that runs Crysis probably cooks itself.

I don't think about beef Wellington enough to have ever made this connection, but it's not wrong.

Is beef Wellington perceived as a genuinely posh thing? It feels more old and crusty to me, right? Like 1960s aspirational middle class, rather than genuinely rich bougie stuff. A thing for the kind of people that thinks of sushi as "exotic".

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Beef Wellington made right is delicious, but it's just another recipe. I have to argue against the corn dog parallel, however, because Wellington is made from a whole piece of meat, not a sausage. It's still definitely only fancy if you are the type that finds sushi exotic.

That's the "socio-economic class" difference.

[-] DandomRude@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I would say that the classic version with beef fillet, prosciutto, and morels is more of an upper-class dish, as the ingredients are expensive and it is time-consuming to prepare.

So was my grandma's Christmas dinner menu.

See, it's the intricacy that makes it feel outdated and aspirational to me. It carries that mid-20th century stink of aspirational shows of status based on domestic labor.

Oh, yes, definitely.

In my home country (Germany), there is a cake called Frankfurter Kranz that definitely expresses this sentiment as well: maximum butter!

This cake was especially popular right after World War II because people wanted to show that they had enough again to not only survive, but also to lavish.

Are Corndogs an instrument?

[-] galoisghost@aussie.zone 0 points 1 month ago

Both can also be used as a deadly weapon

[-] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 month ago

A weapon of ass-destruction?
