Default Batter Sausage (from fish & chip shop)???

Not been home in a couple of years, and I'm missing the taste of a sausage supper (as we called it in Scotland!).

I haven't found the sausage in batter menu option in any of the fish and chip shops here.

Does anyone happen to know anywhere that does them? I live in the Durham Region just outside Toronto. Obviously Durham region would be ideal, but I'd be willing to travel a bit.

Not holding out much hope after having a Google, but thought I'd ask if anyone knew :-)

Thanks!

I'll try anything once, twice if it doesn't hurt too much. I'm going to buy some breakfast sausages for this one.

Hmm, that could be an option if I can't find anywhere that makes them here!

Let me know if you do try it out - I'd be interested how it goes :-)

Thanks!

You're lucky to have access to a fish and chip shop

I've been planning on making some. Interesting tip about the corn starch.

Corn starch is the Canadian name for cornflour isn't it? I put it that way in case anyone watched the video and didn't know.

It confused me when I was looking for flour the first time.

Not quite as simple as that.

In the UK, what is sold as cornflour (one word) would be called cornstarch here. It's the refined starch extracted from maize kernels, used as a thickening agent (and as a thixotropic liquid in countless school science experiments).

Corn flour, as a North American understands it (two words), is finely milled cornmeal, the whole kernel of maize, used in making tortillas and other corn-based flatbreads.

Corn bread, conversely, is usually made using cornmeal, typically ground much less finely than the corn flour used for other maize-based bread products.

Confused yet?

Technical detail aside, that's how I understand it.

So as a UK video, the cornflour referred to would be corn starch over here.

I'll use both and batter twice, dammit. My batter has cornstarch in it too, for crispy.
There was a man from Manchester used to be the greeter at Wholesale Club and he said corn wasn't fit for human consumption, derided it as pig feed. Just a reminder that corn and potatoes and tobacco all came from the Americas... just sayin'.
