It was actually a German recipe. They call it “Würstchen im Schlafrock” literally it means Little Sausage wearing a bathrobe :) Going to the UK this summer, if I find it, I will try their version!

It's totally valid to call these pigs in a blanket. It's cool that it means different things in different areas, but the way OP used the term isn't wrong.

Maybe the universe is ready for “pigs in a blanket in blankets”. It’s the version I made but with bacon around it… I need to fry it in a pan or put them on the barbecue?

These are sausage rolls (that’s what they look the closest to). Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon

Today I learned that "pigs in a blanket" are a different type of food in the UK from what they are in America.

Let’s ask ChatGPT! So I asked… first answer was: "Pigs in a blanket" is a popular dish that typically consists of small sausages or hot dogs wrapped in a pastry dough, such as croissant dough or puff pastry, and then baked until the dough is golden brown and the sausages are heated through. The dish can be served as an appetizer or snack and is often accompanied by dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup.” …so I asked again but now regering to the dish as “pig in blankets”, so plural… ChatGPT answers: "Pigs in blankets" is a similar dish to "pigs in a blanket," but it is more commonly used to refer to a dish in the United Kingdom, which typically consists of small sausages wrapped in bacon rather than pastry dough. In the UK, "pigs in blankets" are often served as a side dish to roast dinners or as a party snack, and they can be seasoned with herbs or spices to add flavor. However, in some regions or contexts, "pigs in blankets" can also refer to the pastry-wrapped sausages that are called "pigs in a blanket" in the US.”

Interesting. The US version is 1) fried, and 2) dipped in a cornbread batter instead of wrapped in a yeasted dough. Haven't seen these other versions before

edit: brain fart on what things are called

...what US are you from? It's always been crescent rolls or, much more rarely, biscuit dough.

When my son was born ~6 years ago, the pediatrician and I had a discussion about it. I was expecting the standard 'oh but most folks have their boys cut so you should', but instead when i started my spiel, she let me know that my area was like 50/50 even then. I think that trend is finally on the mend.

It's bread dough so I suspect it's closer to a baked hotdog... Or a sausage-in-a-roll.

Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon, sausage rolls and sausages wrapped in pastry.

I suggest you take that back. At some point in their life, pig wrapped in pig, was just about every British child’s favourite food. For good reason too, they’re bloody delicious.

This is interesting because I've heard people in the U.S. call this food (the hot dog/sausage in dough kind of recipe) "pigs in a blanket," but I also grew up with my parents calling meat wrapped in cabbage "pigs in a blanket." (Mom made both mini meat loaves and pork, all cooked in sauerkraut.) We made it every New Year's and I was under the impression that recipe came from my German side, but to be honest, we're pretty disconnected from all of that and I may have it wrong. Now I'm going to have to research that dish...

It’s what we maligned weirdos call the physical location and the chalky ground itself at “That Thing in the Desert”(Burning Man).It really is a temporary city, so we also call it BRC(Black Rock City)as the area is officially known as “The Black Rock Desert”.There’s NO food (or any) sales allowed,so fresh cooked”giftings” are usually a big hit!

I guess it’s a sausage roll, but according to Wikipedia it also fits the description of the US version of “pigs in blanket” not to confuse with the UK version that also has an “s” on the end, called: “pigs in blankets”. That was my TED talk on sausage rolls, thanks for listening!

So on the question what’s a “sausage roll”? It answered: “A sausage roll is a type of pastry snack that is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries. It typically consists of a sheet of puff pastry wrapped around a seasoned sausage meat filling, then baked until golden brown and crispy. It can be served hot or cold and is often eaten as a quick and easy snack or as part of a meal. Sausage rolls are a popular food at parties, picnics, and other social events.” And on the question thereafter: how is it called in the US? It answered: “In the United States, a similar food item is known as a "pigs in a blanket." This typically consists of small cocktail sausages wrapped in a dough or pastry and baked until crispy. However, the filling and pastry may vary, and some regional variations exist.”

I'm just imagining all the people chiming in that it's not a proper sausage roll if that's what OP called it.

Gotta say the US version of pigs in blankets looks a LOT less tasty than the UK version.

UK it's sausage wrapped in bacon....and it's the best thing ever.

Enjoy your glorified sausage in a bun.

The UK version is mostly a Christmas thing though you may find it at other times it is less easy. Of course the epitome of the dish is available in some chippies where you'll find hog in a duvet (something ranging from a foot longsausage in a load of bacon, sometimes battered, through to a full blown comedy 6ft long version)

In England (renowned for their fantastic cuisine) yes that is true. For some reason they call cured pork wrapped in cured pork a "pig in a blanket". In the US and its a cocktail sausage wrapped in pastry. And its generally a bite sized appetizer.
