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.

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

RandomBritishGuy t1_je318ys wrote

Well, they do also have slightly different names.

In the UK they're Pigs in Blankets.

In the US they're Pigs in a Blanket.

Not much of a difference, but it is there.

In the UK pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon?

rocket_gun OP t1_je0e630 wrote

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!

Oh you’ll only find the UK version at Christmas sitting next to the turkey and stuffing I’m afraid!

Nah you can buy them all year round now, or make your own. I often knock my own up and cook them in the air fryer after a night out.

Is there bacon in there somewhere, or is this just sausage in pastry (what we call a sausage roll)?

rocket_gun OP t1_je4cwra wrote

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!

jdl_uk t1_je4dedf wrote

Yeah there's different terms for things.

Didn't know sausage rolls were called "pigs in blanket" in some countries

MissyBee37 t1_je3nx53 wrote

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...

showherthewayshowher t1_je5rhbz wrote

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)

2

chairfairy t1_je1jor0 wrote

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

geekusprimus t1_je1qfw4 wrote

That sounds more like what I would call a "corndog". I always grew up with a pig in a blanket being a sausage wrapped in puff pastry or a soft roll.

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

HideousTits t1_je25x9r wrote

Is a crescent roll a croissant?

Redfo t1_je26zd6 wrote

Pretty similar but the usual American crescent roll is less fluffy and airy than a proper French croissant.

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 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 learned today that both are correct. From Wikipedia: “Pigs in a blanket is a small hot dog or other sausage wrapped in pastry commonly served as an appetizer in the United States. The similarity in name with that of the UK dish pigs in blankets, which is a sausage wrapped in bacon, sometimes causes confusion.[1]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_in_a_blanket

rocket_gun OP t1_je1ifht wrote

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.”

What does a sausage roll come out as?

2

rocket_gun OP t1_je4e0o3 wrote

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.”

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.
