What are Pigs in Blankets?!


Question: What are Pigs in Blankets!?
Could our American cousins help!?

Whilst watching TV here in England,
I have heard the term "Pigs In Blankets" mentioned in American programmes!.
I think that the term is describing a kind of food!.
Can anyone tell me exactly what a "pig in blanket is"!.

Please no stupid answers,- its a sensible question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Sausage or sausage meat in dough ( it can even be Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls), baked!. You can get them at many bake shops as sausage rolls!.
Here's a variation:

The version I'm aware of is a hot dog wrapped in pastry dough!.

Very popular with kids; I haven't had one in a long time!.

EDIT - just looked it up!. In the UK, it is often a sausage; in the US, it is often a hot dog!. Both are correct!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everyone is correct but everyone left out 1 thing!. Cheese!.
Slice the hot dog and stuff it with cheese!. Then wrap the crescent dough around it and bake a few minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A sausage link (usually an American "Hot Dog" but any sausage will work), wrapped in bread dough or biscuit dough (American biscuits, not British which we call "cookies") and baked!.

Usually it's sausages, folded in a pancake (flapjack to you)!.
They're similar to your sausage rolls, but for kids at breakfast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just our version of a sausage roll!. As you can see there are several variations!. Cheers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
