settle an argument (1 Viewer)

[tommyboy]

the office is having a raging argument this morning about this

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

It means both.

In the UK it means sausage wrapped in bacon, which was a pleasant surprise.  

 

[Dan Lambskin]

If someone told me they were bringing pigs in blanket to a party they better show up with dough wrapped cocktail weiners

If someone told me they were bringing pigs in blanket to a party they better show up with dough wrapped cocktail weiners 

eta: btw... the breakfast food option sounds like some kind of evil burger king made up thing.

 

[Deepster]

I've heard it for both.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Not to the pig.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Well right... the context is important.  If someone says they're bringing pigs in blankets to a party I expect the cocktail wieners wrapped in dough.  But if I order pigs in blankets off the brunch menu at a diner on Saturday morning, that's not at all what I expect to get.  I've always heard the phrase used to describe both kinds of food and it's literally never once caused any confusion.

breakfast 

 

[bueno]

Sorry. Originally a breakfast food. I think IHOP started it.

 

[RokNRole]

The second one

 

[Gally]

Always thought of it as a breakfast food and thus sausage/pancake.  Plus I took it as pigs = sausage (pork)

 

[Henry Ford]

Sorry. Originally a breakfast food. I think IHOP started it.

False.  Included in Betty Crocker's cookbook, which was published before IHOP started.

 

[grateful zed]

tater pig = potato with a sausage cooked in it.

[E Street Brat]

Ground pork and hamburger prepared like you would for stuffed peppers, but wrapped in cabbage.

 

[Henry Ford]

I've seen that called pigs in a blanket, but not in a long time.  Maybe 30 years.

 

[Foosball God]

That's called stuffed cabbage.

Like she knows what she's talking about

pfft

 

[grateful zed]

[Henry Ford]

That's called stuffed cabbage.

Sometimes.

 

[DocHolliday]

This is the correct answer.

 

[E Street Brat]

That sounds about right. Mom made them 30/40 years ago.

 

[Foosball God]

Sometimes.

blasphemy

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Sometimes.

Source?  Some hillbilly church cookbook?   Hamburg?  WTF?

We've got that same cookbook (and probably the same year) somewhere around here.

That one, I don't know - it was apparently a newspaper clipping from long enough ago that it's been lost in the shuffle.

 

[xulf]

Are any of the versions considered a sandwich?

 

[Sconch]

My elementary school served pigs in a blanket (hot dogs wrapped in dough) for LUNCH once a week.

 

[Waingro]

Neither

It's an appetizer or a starter or a whores devours.

wait a second... at what point does the recipe in that link ever mention the word sausage? hot-dogs, wrapped in dough.. under "lunch main dishes". case closed.

so did mine, they're called weiner wraps

Are you trying to say that a hot dog isn't a sausage?

 

[Bull Dozier]

Voted wrapped in dough here.

BTW, we get packages of frozen sausages wrapped in pancakes on a stick from Sams Club.  They are called "Pancakes & Sausages" (or just "pancake sausages" in my house for short).

It says wiener.  

 

[RUSF18]

Never heard it referred to as this kind of breakfast food but I sure as hell want to try it now. 

 

[Waingro]

Never.

 

[Zegras11]

both.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

what do you think hot dogs are usually made of?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Always thought of it as a breakfast food and thus sausage/pancake.  Plus I took it as pigs = sausage (pork)

unlike the hot dog which is dog meat of course.

 

[EYLive]

I've never had it as a meal. Only as a snack/hor d'oeuvres. But almost always in the form of cocktail weenie wrapped in puff pastry.

 

[mr. furley]

If someone told me they were bringing pigs in blanket to a party they better show up with dough wrapped cocktail weiners breakfast sausages wrapped in pancakes 

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

 

[El Floppo]

It says wiener.  

aka, hot-dog. 

don't try to tell me you guys think sausages are the same things as hot-dogs.

 

[mr. furley]

pancake and porkies breakfasts at the local church down, you heathens?

 

[Henry Ford]

You're seriously trying to argue that a hot dog isn't a type of sausage?
