On the road between states, traveling from contract to contract, betwixt 53-foot vans in truck-stops and gas station winshield bug-scrubs, corn dogs are a necessary evil that gets you through the next 500 miles.

And BBQ burritos and chicken strips, but they're bereft of stick.

We had these at a state fair a few years ago and now make our own. Stuff a jalapeno with cream cheese, then wrap the whole thing in a slice of Velveeta. Next, shape a giant meatball made from hamburger and breakfast sausage around it. Put a stick in it, wrap the whole thing with bacon, smoke it until it's done and then dip it in BBQ sauce.

Whiskey is aged in a barrel. During the hot part of the day the alcohol penetrates the fibers of the wood and then when it cools down at night the alcohol goes back where it came from extracting particular chemicals from the wood fibers. The process is repeated for months or years and numerous chemical processes also take place that you just can't replicate by throwing a hunk of wood in a bottle. I know a moonshiner that swears he can soak his batches in wood chips and get the same result. I've tested it and it's nowhere near the same. All you get is wood flavored hootch which isn't what barrel aged whiskey is.

What's most interesting to me is tasting at each stage of the process from mash to finished product. It gives you more appreciation for the ingredients used, the recipe, and the process. It also helps to understand how quite a bit of the mass produced products take significant shortcuts like adding other cheaper alcohols and artificial colors and flavorings. Just no substitute for the real deal.

since you use toothpicks to hold them together, I guess they count as "food on a stick" although it is stretching to say that this is either food or a stick.
