What do you think a "pig in a blanket" is?

[bleedingheart]

My hubby is from Michigan...he thinks it is one thing...and I am from Pittsburgh PA...so I think is an entirely different thing...


So I wanna know...what do you think it is?

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

1. it's a sausage in a pancake

or something else far far dirtier

[bleedingheart]

6. that is what Mr. B thinks it is....

gonna wait and see if anyone posts what I think it is....

[BOSSHOG]

4. Link sausage rolled up in a pancake

[tk2kewl]

5. It is a cocktail frank wrapped in pastry dough...

or a cop hiding along the side of the road with a radar gun

[-..__...]

15. My variation.

Take a regular ol hot dog.

Cut it in half.

Wrap with Pillsbury crescent rolls dough (comes in a tube).

Secure dough with tooth pick.

Bake in oven until dough is a light golden brown.

Sometimes I'll sprinkle a little grated cheese inside. Only problem is that often times the melted cheese will ooze out before the dough is baked enough.

Or, you can take a few slices of bacon. Cook separately, then once the pigs are done, wrap the bacon around the rolls, secure with toothpicks, then cook the whole thing for about 2 minutes longer.

If you try to cook the bacon, dough and dogs together, the bacon grease will soak through and be sopped up by the dough/rolls.

[bleedingheart]

23. what is wrong with the bacon grease being sopped up by the dough?

[petronius]

37. This is not just a great post,

this is literature! Thank you for the most delicious image of the day...

40. Goes even better smothered with chili and onions.

Your areteries will thank you for it.

[crispini]

41. Ok, now I'm hungry.

YUM.
And that's the version I'd call pig in a blanket, FWIW.

[blondeatlast]

42. That's my definition, too. Mom always let us make them on rainy days.

Gotta love comfort food. Sigh...

[davidinalameda]

67. hotdog in biscuit dough

[DawgHouse]

[johnnie]

10. I'm thinking

Ground beef wrapped in cabbage. Like stuffed cabbage.

[bleedingheart]

11. Stuffed cabbage!!! That is what I think it is!!!

I have had it baked in tomato sauce or with a sauerkraut marinate that includes chunks of kielbasa....as if the pigs weren't fattening enough....

[johnnie]

14. Well

My family all came from PA and now we are here in Cleveland. I think it is another one of those regional things.

[bleedingheart]

20. what is really funny is that when we were first married I told Mr. B

that I was making pigs in a blanket....so he was all excited..

I was cooking away in the kitchen...got the stuffed cabbage in the oven....and he asks me..."so when ya going to start making them"....I told him ...they are in the oven baking and he accused me of lying to him....

It is still a big argument to this day....after 11 years of marriage..

[tigereye]

55. well I'm from SWPA

and I thought it was a hotdog in Pillsbury dough. But my parents are from Mass. and WNY, so that may explain it.

[bleedingheart]

52. actually you are on the next planet......

:silly:

[China_cat]

53. I didn't say I LIKED them

I don't. But that's what we always called them.

Oh, and in case you were joking about not knowing where Mars is, find the map, rt. 19 (79) north to Zelienople, right on 68 toward Evans City and then right again (Mars/Evans City road will likely not be marked) and you'll find Mars.

[bleedingheart]

54. I am joking...I know where Mars is...I have even been there...

I am over in Irwin....

[China_cat]

56. Been there or through there?

Or did you go to Willy's for the fish dinner?

[bleedingheart]

61. I went to a friend's house in college ...he had been ill

and we were dropping off stuff for him so he wouldn't get behind in his classes....

The whole ride up to Mars from Pitt was a real riot...bunch of engineering geeks making jokes about how we would have to leave the Earth's orbit....(yuk yuk yuk ..kind of jokes)

[China_cat]

62. Try living there.

You weren't far from true.

[tigereye]

57. aha

I'm from Butler county ( I once worked in Mars) and that's what I think too! So it isn't my parents' out of state influence after all.

[China_cat]

65. hot dog wrapped in dough

We had them as children. It was easy for us to make. Mom always got us refridgerated biscuit dough to wrap the hot dogs in and then you baked them.
They served them in school when I lived in WI and MI (now live in MO-they served them in school here too). They were always the same thing-hot dog wrapped in dough and baked, then served w/ hot dog condiments.

[Wapsie B]
