Corn Dogs and IKEA meatballs

pastizzi

great question cardiffgul i love the already cooked style meatballs that sainsburys do, last year sometime they had them on special 99p i was having to buy an extra pack to eat on the way home! trouble is ive not been able to find them at my sainsburys since then. ikea ones are great too but my nearest one is 60 miles away thanks to this thread i can now hunt them down at asda coop and lidle and i will give the birds eye ones a go i must have been walking round with my eyes shut!

the obvious and MSE way would surely to make your own in a big batch. A bit of hassle but healthier and maybe cheaper (depending on the meat you use).

Meat balls are really an easy thing to make

Not seen any corndogs about, but have been making my own for a few years now and you can find nice simple recipes online for them as well.

Costco for both.
I freeze the meatballs also and they are gorgeous.
They also stock corn dogs but only it seems when spring/summer is here.

OH had these when he was in the States and from what I understand, they're a hot dog sausage covered with a thick cornmeal 'batter' type coating. I think they're usually fried.

OP, it might me worth searching for a local international grocery shop, we are addicts of all things american- we used to order the "non perishable" things online- until we discovered this local shop hidden up in our local town centre, which does everything including american frozen stuff...dont know how they do it!! It's at a fraction of the price of anywhere else we have ever found international groceries- I would check and see if theres something like that near you as I'm sure various places must be linked up somehow...then you'll get authentic corn dogs....yum! x

Quorn do meat balls too, frozen you get quite a few for around the £2.20 mark and Sainsburys have them on 2 for £3 at the moment.
