Corn dogs are so delicious! Do you like them at all?
Corn dog is my favorite sausage! I love how it's on the stick and coated in the cornmeal batter.
I know, the corn really gives the batter a sweet taste and it's great.
I think so too, I find the history of corn dog cool. it was German Texan sausage makers who introduced them to people in the US. 
German Texan? I didn't even really know that was a thing, that's so interesting!
Yeah they were newly arrived immigrants who came from Germany to Texas.
Ah okay, so how long ago were they made?
They got a patent in 1929 so it was quite long ago. It was after they released an article "Combined Dipping, Cooking, and Article Holding Apparatus," by author Linda Campbell Franklin who  introduced it in media.
So they were made before that but they were first patented back in 1929?
Yes definitely, they were trying to get it patented sincce 1927, so it took them two years for the patent to be granted.
