Where to buy corndogs?!

I know that they're probably disgusting but I've always wanted to try a corndog 🤣 Does anyone know where I could buy some in the UK?

Ha! Until your last sentence, I was going to say the USA!

The mini ones from Tesco aren't bad (and they're tiny so if you don't like them it's not much of a waste).

Apparently the ones at Costco aren't very nice.

What are they?

Noname1999 · 21/06/2021 19:03

Hot dogs with corn bread batter that are fried

Oh right. Don't sound particularly appetising!

DH bought some once, years ago, I can't really remember what they were, I only remember they were horrible!

I think they were a hot-dog type sausage thing with some kind of coating, on a stick.

He bought them in a UK supermarket, can't remember which one.

You could always make your own?

I bloody love a corn dog! Proper US ones are delicious 😋

Dd was so exited when we went to America to try one. One bite and threw it away. Grim. Sorry not helpful where to get them.

The Tesco ones look genuinely repulsive

The Tesco ones are always out of stock 😔

Costco was my next idea as I'm sure a friend has a Costo card... But if they're awful maybe not.

Amazon sell the batter so I guess 8 could try that or the recipe above, I was just hoping for somewhere I could buy some to shove in the oven!

Mind you I'm vegetarian so what do I know?

1happyhippie · 21/06/2021 19:15

Are they like a battered sausage you get from the chippy. But on a stick?

Cocolapew · 21/06/2021 19:17

Asda do them, I think Tesco have stopped selling them.

Patapouf · 21/06/2021 19:23

Costco have them

Terrazzo · 21/06/2021 19:23

Only seen them in the UK at Country to Country so that’s no help 😄 honestly I wouldn’t bother, they’re tank unless you’re at a baseball game with the whole atmosphere.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 21/06/2021 19:26

They usually come up in the Lidl American week in the freezer section.

MenaiMna · 21/06/2021 19:35

Lidl will do 4th of July stuff soon, they're sure to have corndogs. You'd have to actually like frankfurters though to enjoy them.

gonow · 21/06/2021 19:45

Make your own. I like them. But I'm not very discerning. They taste a bit like toad in the hole

AmazingBouncingFerret · 21/06/2021 19:57

They look like something Iceland would stock.

Newnormal99 · 21/06/2021 20:01

Asda did them at Xmas. They were not a hit with my dd!

TheChosenTwo · 21/06/2021 20:03

They look and sound minging! Mind you I wouldn’t eat a frankfurter (or any sausage really) anyway so wrapping it in a thick stodgy batter doesn’t seem like it would add any appeal Grin
But do report back if you try one op, I’m interested in hearing what it’s like!

DonLewis · 21/06/2021 20:13

My dsis makes them. They're delicious. Presume she googled a recipe!

springiscoming12 · 21/06/2021 20:24

They’re delicious! And now I need to know the answer to where to find them too

Toilenstripes · 21/06/2021 20:27

You might try Auntie Annies, which I think is an American import. Hot dogs inside of pretzel dough. Magnifique!

I thought I had seen them in Tesco freezer dept. I have heard of them on an American comedy show. Never tried them.
