What exactly are pigs in blankets?

Despite the curious name, pigs in blankets are simply sausages wrapped in bacon. The bacon gives a delicious rich salty flavour which contrasts nicely with whichever kind of sausage you choose.

Our pigs in blankets use Sloane's US style streaky bacon wrapped around delicious chipolata sausages. They are so easy to cook, just put them in the oven at 190 degrees for 15-20 mins.

As you would expect the pork is excellent quality and comes from grass fed happy pigs!

Don't recognize that as pigs in blanket as I know them.

What I know them to be is a mixture of pork. rice an seasoning , wrapped in a cabbage leave and cooked. Very popular in the US midwest. Sometimes called stuffed cabbage. Does anyone else know pigs in a blanket???

This is the UK version. You're talking about the US version.

The only ones I've ever known were small weiners wrapped in a dough wrapper.

Very popular as hors d'oeuvres in middle class parties in the US

I remember them being sausage wrapped in a pancake at the local Ihop.

All a pale imitation of the real thing. What you're talking about sound more like sausage rolls.

When doing a Google 'Image' search using the parameters 'Pigs in a blanket' it seems to show an pretty equal mix

of both the bacon wrapped and dough wrapped varieties. Being a fair search engine, it does show one of Gonzo's

stuffed cabbage rolls too. I had never heard of that variety before.

Sausage kings look better local too.

I vote with Folk Guitar on this one....pigs in blankets were part of the USDA School Lunch Program.....Here's PizzaHut's version, with Heinz Mustard on the side.....

As described by the OP this is a UK dish.
