Corn Dog Delight ****

This is an old recipe from the BBC group, but it's been a year or two since we've had it.  The kids went crazy for it.  I really don't even like hot dogs, aside from the occasional corn dog, if it's done really well.  This does taste a bit like a corn dog, but with the sage and the celery, it really has a flavor all its own.  It's just plain awesome.
