My local Supervalu, Tesco and Aldi doesn’t have any.
I see them when watching TV and always think *”What do they taste like?”* Are they just a very smooth battered sausage?
Irelands a big place so I’m not sure if it helps, but some Korean places on capel street Dublin do a corn dog and it’s pretty good
I’ve gotten them before (likewise wanted to try them after seeing them in the media for years). It was years ago, I want to say Iceland but could be Lidl?
Get a battered sausage instead.
Gives American food a bad name. Oh wait
I hope not.
Hot dog covered in a sweet pancake-type batter. Had one at The Big Grill festival. Wouldn’t be craving another
They are just a hot dog in a batter of sorts.
Leaves the after taste of a cheap hot dog too.
Well the tesco ones do
No. We have actual real food.
Lidl will have them when they do their US special offers
I had one at the beach in Santa Monica once. It was delicious. Cooked on the spot though.
Easy enough to make! Use polenta instead or cornmeal, can get it in supervalu. Make a type of beer batter, with smoked paprika.
So tasty!!!
I’ve found them growing in marshes and wetlands. They taste shit!
I saw a stand selling corn dogs at the Bealtaine festival in Naas recently, so you might catch them at fairs and festivals!
I got them frozen in Lidl once. They weren’t as good as the “real” thing.
What do they taste like? Well, the corn batter (corn bread, grits) is hard to describe. Finding anywhere that sells cornbread would give you the fix you want. Just imagine it greasy-fried, with a hotdog inside it. Honestly, I’d skip the hotdog. Might need to make corn batter and deep fry it.
Why though? U wanna kill someone quicker?
Wow some divided opinions here 🤣.
Safe to say the frozen ones aren’t worth your time.
The only food item I hate more then raisins!
As others have mentioned, there’s a food truck that does the festival circuit.
It’s called The Cranky Yankee. The chap Larry that owns it is a gent.
They’re a bit of a guilty pleasure. So wrong it’s right. It’s essentially a frankfurter sausage deep fried in a crisp batter.
There used to be a really friendly American fella with a corndog stand at castlepalooza (and presumably other festivals) and they were lovely. Not a million miles away from a battered sausage but the batter would be softer, almost gooey below the skin.

Yeah in Dublin some of the Korean places have them like [Pocha](https://g.co/kgs/XZb91e) or White Rabbit on Moore st and Capel St, also there’s a corndog [van](https://instagram.com/crankyyankeecorndogs?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) that does festivals sometimes
I brought frozen ones from lidl once, I think they might have been part of their American weeks
Tesco sometimes have them too:
