953 nut 57,916 #1 Posted March 15 While the jury’s still out on knowing exactly who invented the corn dog, one thing is certain: It’s about as American as food items get. Cornmeal was a staple of the Native American diet, and hot dogs are an American adaptation of a German classic. The marriage of these ingredients led to the creation of an item that dominated a fair share of 20th century grab-and-go food sales, and in the process, became a cultural icon. On March 15, we celebrate the corn dog’s iconic status with National Corn Dog Day! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
