BASEBALL fans in London this weekend with a big appetite can try their luck with the giant glizzy being served up.
The London Stadium caterers have served up a two-feet long hot dog called the “Boomstick”.

The 3,000-calorie beast is retailing for £32 locally, which equates to just over $40.
Eating a hot dog, or two, is an integral part of the ballpark experience in America.
And organizers in London have made sure nobody is going home hungry.
Although this one is recommended to serve four people.

The “Boomstick” was designed by chefs who work with the Texas Rangers.
Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas boasts the biggest ballpark hot dog in all of America, according to a study.
And it’s been adopted by the London Stadium for this weekend’s New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies series.
The “Boomstick” is a 24-inch pork sausage stuffed into a baguette just as long.

It is then smothered with braised beef, chilli, jalapenos and sour cream.
The giant sausage has been a regular feature at London Series games since 2019.
“Ate the entire thing by myself at the ballpark in Arlington. Finished it by the 3rd inning,” one fan boasted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another joked, “Why are we doing this to the British? No wonder everyone doesn’t like us.”
A third wrote, “You’re welcome London, have some America.”
The Mets took on the Phillies in a two-game series at the London Stadium on June 8 and 9.
The series was the third time London has hosted regular-season Major League Baseball games since 2019.
That year saw the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox.
And MLB was back last season after a Covid-enforced break with the Chicago Cubs against St Louis Cardinals.
Bosses at the London Stadium also tried to offer local food choices from the cities of competing teams.
This year they served up a New York deli style pastrami sandwich for Mets fans.

And Philadelphia fans were obviously offered a Philly cheesesteak.
The Phillies won game one Saturday night with three home runs in a 7-2 victory.
