I was discussing pigs in a blanket with Mrs C. and Jr's dad the other day. He has a completely different idea of what pigs in a blanket are vs. what I think they are. Without me pushing anyone in a specific direction here, I'll just ask this. If you had to explain to someone what "pigs in a blanket" are, what would you tell them?

Mini-cocktail wieners wrapped in a dough (ala Pillsbury croissant dough) and baked until golden brown.

A (usually small) sausage wrapped in bacon. Normally have them at Christmas. I'm in the UK btw.

In Germany, it's a sausage in dough, along with with some sauce, typically tomato.
-
Miniature hot dogs wrapped in some sort of filo dough, and baked at 375F for 12-16 minutes.
-

Where I'm from, we call that bacon-wrapped sausage.
-
I might be wrong, havent used the term in awhile, but I thought it was sausage wrapped in pancakes.

Where you're from, you also call an oven a toaster, so maybe sit this one out. :neverusethis:

So wait, you Aussies call a toaster an oven? What do you call an oven? A dishwasher?
And Stadler has posted the best description. Dead on, in fact, even in completely different parts of the country.

He's busting Chino's balls for calling a convection oven (aka a toaster oven) a toaster.

We actually don't have any of these things in Australia. We prepare all food over an open campfire, and wash our dishes in the local billabong. But what you call bullfrogs, we call chazzwazzers.

Deleted. Comment made in poor taste.

Convection ovens =/ toaster ovens. But neither of them are actually toasters, which is a specific device built for only one purpose.

Which was the exact point of that conversation (which I can't remember the thread it came from), that neither of those things are a "toaster".

Boom, that's it.

Don't forget you eat with a large knife. No that's not a .......

I have seen it primarily used to refer to either of two dishes, and which one depends on context:
-In the appetizer context, I have always seen it refer to what Stadler posted above: cocktail wieners or other small sausages wrapped in dough.
-In the breakfast context, I have always seen it refer to breakfast sausage (links, not patties) rolled in pancakes.
I remember seeing the breakfast version as far back as the early '70s when I was a small kid. I don't think I saw the appetizer version until the '80s or so. But both are fairly ubiquitous.
I am so hungry right now...
EDIT: Wikipedia basically agrees (if you look at the "U.S." section): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_in_blankets I mean, is this actually a big controversy? Is there some third world country somewhere where children are staving because they don't know how to order pigs in a blanket correctly and getting served test tubes of ebola instead of sausages wrapped in some sort of buttery carby goodness?

I considered waiting a little longer to see what other results may come of it, but basically my description was what has been offered here, Stadler giving the most appropriate description, in my opinion. Jr's dad insists that pigs in a blanket are sausages wrapped in cabbage. At least around here, where he grew up (central PA, with its heavy "PA Dutch" (Germanic) influence), that's what it meant, until it was bastardized to mean cocktail weenies in croissant dough. The funny part about that is I asked his sister, who isn't too far from his age, and she had never heard of the cabbage wrapped version either. I suggested that 99% of the people you ask would look at you like you had two heads if you suggested that "pigs in a blanket" involved cabbage in any way.

Bosk1. Food is serious business.
Dammit. Now reading your post I'm hungy.

Happy to be a 99%-er.

What the actual fuck
-
The fact that cabbage was even mentioned in this thread has ruined my weekend.
-
I concede that around here, it may very well HAVE been a thing many years ago, with the heavy Germanic presence in central PA. But even then, I'm saying no.

What if it was sausage wrapped in lettuce?

Coz, just for you. Wait for the lettuce.

The area of North Carolina I am originally from also has a heavy Germanic presence. Lots of Lutherans, lots of German names (including mine).
I still have never heard that description.

So since we're all pretty much in agreement on pigs in a blanket; how about a "toad in a hole"? Very different on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Never heard of it on this side of the pond, but my first though is probably a lot dirtier than it actually is. :lol

Never heard of it. Pretty sure we're on the same side of the Atlantic. ;D

My name is chef, and I approve of this. :RJ:

I think around here, most people would say toad in the hole = toast with a hole cut out of it and an egg fried in the hole. Also called egg in a basket.
-
Yup, also called Buckeyes
-
I have never heard that one before.

Hmm, could be a family thing then.

Never heard Toad in a Hole myself, but it sure looks appealing.

to be honest sausage in cabbage sounds really good right now

I've heard that as "egg-in-a-hole" and "toad-in-the-hole" is sausage and mashed potatoes. Irish I think.
Sausage in cabbage is sort of like golumpki, or stuffed cabbage, though my family made that with ground beef in cabbage (and covered in tomato sauce).
-
Not normally a large fan of cooked cabbage.
-
If you're ever on Balkans, you need to try sarma: minced meat in cabbage :tup
-

Not saying you'll love it, just asking if you've tried it, but have you ever had good home-made golumpki? If it's bad, it's usually really bad (soggy cabbage, bland meat, watery sauce) but when it's good, like when my grandmother made it... oh my.
-
Never even heard of it, so I doubt that I've had it.
I love sauerkraut, and I like kimchi. And I like raw cabbage in cole slaw and salads. But that's about it.
-
I never tried it either. And I wasn't a fan of cooked cabbage when I was younger either. But that is largely because I had never had it cooked where it wasn't bland and/or overdone. Once my wife and I started dating, and I had it lightly stir-fried where it was crunchy and well-seasoned, I quickly learned to love it. It is definitely one of my favorite go-to veggies now.
-
That could be it. The way people tend to do it down here is kind of how you described it (bland, overdone).

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT CABBAGE!?
I'll get us back on track

Those look soooo good.
A couple months ago I took a sheet of Pillsbury croissant dough and cut/wrapped them around individual hot dogs and made my won pigs in a blanket in the oven... simply amazing. A couple of them I tested out with cheese wrapped around the hot dog which was wrapped around the dough... also simply amazing.
-
Hotdogs look like buttholes which means I'll probably eat 'em.

They also look like dicks, will that make you eat em too?
-
Dicks with buttholes in them. If that doesn't make you hungry, I don't know what will.

If you have to ask, you don't know b_f well enough.

Well I guess we all need to start calling them "Dicks in a Blanket". Lets unify!

My maternal grandma is Polish, and I've grown up with Pigs in a blanket being ground pork in cabbage leafs cooked in a tomato sauce. I know the cocktail weenies one, but pork in cabbage is where my mind goes, and frankly I prefer the latter as well.
