Swindon Piglets

We have a 1960 recipe book (McDougall's Super-Sifted Cookery by Janet Johnston) that calls these "Swindon Piglets".194.75.236.71 (talk) 12:19, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Xomment

I've actually seen these on a restaurant menu as "frankfurters en croute". As Chef Tell says, "Put a little parsley, charge another two-fifty."--BillFlis 11:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Pig in a pig?

I could find no mention of this dish in a Google search. If it does really exist, I think it's different enough from a pig in a blanket to deserve its own separate article.--BillFlis 18:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

A friend of mine seems quite sure that a pig in a blanket consists of: any type of sausage in a slice of white bread. I treid to correct her, however will have to show her the related article to prove this to her. has anyone heard of a pig in blanket as she describes one?

That's what all my family and friends called them growing up (in Canada). Pretty much any breakfast sausages wrapped in bread or related wheat product was a pig in a blanket. Acutally, untill today, I've never heard of the pancake variant. The baked biscuit, yes I've heard of, but we called them sausage rolls. The key was "breakfast" though.

I guess I didn't make clear what I was asking: Has anyone ever heard of "pig in a pig"?--BillFlis 13:48, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

No, unless you mean a hot-dog wrapped in bacon. But I cringe to the thought! 17:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC) m0u5y —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.228.52.221 (talk)

Bacon-wrapped dog?

Growing up, my mom would sometimes serve hot dogs, split with cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked, on a bun. We always called these pigs in a blanket. Is this usage exclusive to my family, or is it some regional thing I am not aware of?

Billflis ur scaring me man, aint you ever gone to the supermarket? These are not hard to find. I eat them all the time in the pack of 60 box. Not all at once obviously. Come to think of it my mom gets them at Costco....

Pancakes and sausage

I always thought I heard the term "pigs in a blanket" used to describe maple sausage wrapped in a rolled up pancake. Am I thinking of something else? Should this be added to the article? The T 02:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Why don't you start with adding an article on maple sausage, whatever that is?--BillFlis 17:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Just added it to the article. Someone referenced this page when trying to tell me I was wrong in calling a breakfast sausage wrapped in a pancake a "pig in a blanket". I'm not sure I need to add a reference to the menu at IHOP. :)Mjatucla 18:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but what is maple sausage?--BillFlis 00:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

A type of breakfast sausage rolled with maple syrup and cinnamon. I called it "breakfast sausage" in the article in an attempt to avoid ambiguities since there are probably multiple types of "breakfast sausages" that could be rolled in a pancake to make Pigs in a Blanket.Mjatucla 02:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Added photograph for UK. Photo requirement tag removed. Shockfireuk (talk) 15:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Please someone find a picture that doesn't look truly revolting and undercooked, and like the bacon has some kind of vd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.36.254 (talk) 00:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

The UK section includes the cabbage roll version. Do they call cabbage rolls "pigs in blankets" in the UK? I thought that was just a regional US usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.12.46 (talk) 10:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

The UK section is too opinionated and assertive. The pastry version is common here in the UK too. Here for example is BBC a recipe: BBC Food: Pigs in puff pastry blankets. The bacon version is probably more common at Christmas meals due to simplicity in already using bacon to baste a turkey and not wanting soggy pastry from gravy. For the rest of the Christmas period the pastry version is common (using sausages in their skins, not sausage meat, and hence not a sausage roll). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.173.181 (talk) 14:16, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Names

Some of these names turned up empty; frankly (haha), they seem like they might be a joke/vandalism. Any substantiation on the following would be appreciated: franks in the jackets, biscuit dogs, fingers in a band-aid, monkeys undercover. When I took out tranny dogs, I figured that everything was worth checking. --Mgreenbe (talk) 20:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
