Corndog
The English phrase "corndog" is translated into German as Corndog.
A Corndog refers to a sausage coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep-fried.
Did you know?
- Because Corn is English, some Germans might mistakenly think the snack is made with Korn, which is actually a traditional German grain spirit.
- While Corndog is used in modern urban areas, you may find it listed on traditional menus as Würstchen im Teigmantel, which literally describes the sausage as wearing a 'dough coat'.
- In a formal setting, instead of saying Corndog, one might refer to it as 'ein im Maismehlteig ausgebackenes Würstchen'.
Examples in context
- Ich möchte einen Corndog essen.I want to eat a corndog.
- Der Corndog schmeckt sehr gut.The corndog tastes very good.
- Hast du einen Corndog auf dem Grill?Do you have a corndog on the grill?
