Well, cafe americano exists, but only in Italy.

Wise little creatures.

I do believe the "American Corndog" was created in America.. at the Texas State Fair. However, Coffee has been around since old Egypt.

I think the author might be confusing them not being called an "American Corndog" in America. Just like it isn't "American Football" in America, it's just "Football".

"アメリカンドッグ" (Amerikan doggu) quite resembles in corn dog, but that in Japan does not contain cornmeal. Just wheat flour butter.

Cafe Americano exists in America... as an imported concept.

Americans, like the Chinese, and a few others, lay dubious claim to invention, particularly of foodstuffs --- not from lying, but through uninquisitiveness --- even claiming doughnuts, sometimes on the internet. I mean, sticking a lump of dough into hot fat is neither high cuisine nor anywhere on earth original.

According to Wiki they were brought to America by German immigrants, but again as with doughnuts, I doubt wrapping sausages in batter was new anywhere on earth. I'm sure the Romans did it.

Even sadder than America's two [ 2 ], count'em, National Doughnut Days...

National Corndog Day is a celebration of the corn dog, tater tots, and American beer that occurs on the first Saturday of March Madness (NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship) of every year.
