MorningStar's Veggie Corn Dogs

I don't know too many people that eat corn dogs on a regular basis, and I couldn't even remember the last time I had had one when I came across MorningStar's Veggie Corn Dogs at the supermarket. But they seemed enticing enough, so I picked up a box.

The alt-corn dog is a pretty good idea. The lure of corn dogs is the sweet corn breading not the dog itself, so the alt-dog inside is under a lot less scrutiny than if it was all by itself. For that reason, these were pretty tasty. The alt-dog inside was not bad, but the breading turned out great even after microwaving. I actually preferred them microwaved rather than baked.

My only gripe about them is their size. They're no smaller than an alt-burger, but alt-burgers gain heft from the condiments and bun. These alt-dogs remain naked, alone, and kinda small. If you only cook one, you're probably going to end up rummaging through the pantry for more food after you're done eating. So unless you're only in the mood for a snack, you'll have to cook two at a time. They only come four to a box, so that makes these prohibitively expensive in my book.

I liked the taste but didn't like the price, so I'd definitely get these again, but only if they're on sale.
