Photo of the Day: The Noble Corndog Plant

An admission: I've never eaten a corndog.  Never. Not once. Not even at a baseball game. I thought they were hotdogs dipped in cornmeal and fried. Boy, was I ever wrong!

I ran into these corndog plants at the Peaks of Otter today and discovered that not only is a corndog a vegetarian delight, it grows right here in Virginia and qualifies as a local food. Dang. The things you learn just by walking in the woods.
