BASEBALL fans in London this weekend with big appetites can try their luck with the giant glitter being served up.
Vendors at the London Stadium served a two-foot-long hot dog called the “Boomstick.”

The 3,000-calorie beast sells locally for £32, which is just over $40.
Eating a hot dog or two is an integral part of the approximate experience in America.
And organizers in London made sure no one went 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, has the biggest hot dog in all of America, according to a study.
And it was adopted by the London Stadium for this weekend’s New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies series.
O “Boomstick” is a 24-inch pork sausage stuffed into a baguette of the same length.
It’s then topped with braised beef, peppers, jalapenos, and sour cream.
The giant sausage has been a regular at London Series games since 2019.
“I ate everything by myself at the stadium in Arlington. I finished in the third round,” boasted one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another joked: “Why are we doing this to the British? No wonder not everyone likes us.”
A third wrote: “You’re welcome London, eat some America.”
The Mets faced the Phillies in a two-game series at London Stadium on June 8 and 9.
The series was the third time London has hosted Major League Baseball regular season games since 2019.
That year, the New York Yankees faced the Boston Red Sox.
And MLB was back last season after a Covid-forced break with the Chicago Cubs against the St Louis Cardinals.
London Stadium bosses have also tried to offer local food options from the competing teams’ cities.
This year, they served a New York deli-style pastrami sandwich to Mets fans.
And Philly fans obviously got a Philly cheesesteak.
The Phillies won the game Saturday night with three home runs in a 7-2 victory.
