Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Corn dog" in Simple English language version.
Corn dogs are a food that we know from fall festivals, carnivals, and tailgating. It actually got its start when German immigrants moved into Texas. Some of these new German immigrants were sausage-makers by trade but had a hard time selling their wares in Texas. So, as a ploy, they took sausages, rolled them in a cornbread batter, and fried them. The sticks came later.
