Anyone know where I can buy this delicacy?
Where to buy corn dogs
1 of 2
Apparently cost co have them, not a member myself but many people seem to be so if you aren't perhaps you know someone who is a member.
You can get them at The Diner - several locations across central London. It's quite a well rated chain (not been there myself). The other American places like Ed's and Bodean's don't do corn dogs, seem to be quite rare in London.
Wish i tried them when i was in Vegas, i've been wondering since how different they taste to a battered sausage!

I used to buy them but haven't seen them for ages. They are not that difficult to make

I thought that too! Bit of a hassle to navigate.

Imagine a hotdog wrapped in a sweetish thick (American) pancake and deep fried. I can't stand them lol
Yak! Heart attack on a stick.
Each to their own though.
There is a recipe on Hilah Cooking. Just go onto Youtube and search Hilah Cooking.

but the batter is more of a sponge rather then chip shop batter you would see in this country. And its not a sausage, its a hot dog.

They must be! My youngest will eat anything that's made out of food and he can't stand them too.

Completely False. As someone who loves (American) pancakes and (American) Corn Dogs, the batter is entirely different. Then again, I can't vouch how you are serving them in the UK.
Plus, you eat them with mustard, not maple syrup. I could not imagine putting syrup on a corn dog batter. Nor could I imagine putting mustard on a pancake. They are not the same.
hmm odd. just noticed you are in Seattle. Not sure why you would equate the two batters. Even if you are in the US, you should realize the quality of the batters differs between brands and homemade vs. store bought.
A Brit i would understand doing so if made in the UK...'
Too many variables. Like Root Beer. they all don't taste the same.

I tried them once and that's what they tasted like to me. I didn't put syrup on them but the effect of the batter was the same as a dry pancake, how it sticks to the roof of your mouth and was sweet which I didn't expect. Yes they were shop bought. Can't stand root beer either, tastes like the stuff you rinse your mouth out with at the dentists.

Judging from the recipe posted above, the differences would seem to be the inclusion of cornmeal and chilli powder in the mix, plus the use of less sugar (although there is still enough there for me to understand some people finding it very sweet for a savoury dish).
I think it is the cooking method that really changes it. Deep frying rather than cooking on a flat griddle or pan with virtually no oil or fat will give a completely different eating experience from the batter.

Not really, they are completely different.

Don't go to The Diner, i've been to the Camden one twice and although the food is decent, the staff are poor and prices are very high. £2.50 for a can of cherry coke takes the piss even for London's standards.

ahh yes, Cornmeal would make perfect sense. Corn Dog ... Corn meal . But I never had a pancake made with cornmeal, so the comparison isn't quite 100% (just in my opinion).
Deep frying does give it that crispy golden brown colo(u)r. Don't know if you all eat cornbread there, and yes, I will agree it has a slight sweetness to it, but coupled with a mustard, it's a great balance.

I thought the prices were really high, I have to say. Although, I'm not often in London so I wasn't sure if that was normal or not. The price of the shakes made me go

That is a lot. I hate it when places over price soft drinks, particularly cans. I think Bodean's is around £1.80 a can, i thought that was bad enough!
The American style chains seem to be keen on doing this, yet in America drinks are very reasonably priced and you normally get a free refill - plus they will give you a glass of tap water without even needing to ask for it, where as here you get a dirty look for asking!

I think they price things high becuase it's an "American Diner", if you have ever been to a shop which sells just american candy, they sell things at a high price becuase of shipping costs etc... I feel that The Diner has this mentality too, although they don't need to ship can's of cherry coke from the USA, they just decide to slap a £2.50 price tag on them.

It's not pancake batter though, it's a maize-based batter, hence the "corn" in corndog.
