Today, we welcome Dr. Liam Haymond. Dr. Liam completed his training in feeding himself this past year and his research interests include mess making, introducing food to his hair, and hiding crumbs in his lap until his mother goes to get him out of his high chair and then observing the subsequent shower of crumbs on to the dining room floor. In his spare time, Dr. Liam enjoys giving kisses and snuggling his blankie.
Thank you for having me. Today, as you can see, we are working with a common corn dog. The specimen is of average size and length and coated in a corn-based crust.
As we consider the corn dog, it’s important to remember temperature, mouth size, and proper grasp.
As one brings the dog to one’s mouth, it’s imperative to balance to corn dog by lightly pinching the stick in one hand and using the other hand to firmly grip the top of the dog, like so.
Any questions at this point? No? In that case, we will continue.
We continue the method of pinching, gripping, and stuffing as much into the mouth as possible, all along the length of the dog. I will demonstrate.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how to properly consume a corn dog. Thank you again for having me and best of luck in your own eating endeavors.
