Natl. Pigs in a Blanket Day.

[IKE]

April 24th is National Pigs in a Blanket Day.

I guess I've just led a very sheltered life because I've never eaten a pig in a blanket.....they any good ?

You are not alone Ike, I never had one either. But now looking at the pic....well you know what pics of food do to me

Love 'em. Easy to eat. No muss, no fuss.

Yummy, but I prefer Toad In The Hole.

For a brief period of time, they sold hot dog buns in the grocery store that looked like pipes with an opening along the side. You almost had to snap the hot dog in them. I thought they were really good... tough, and tasted more like yeast rolls. Apparently I'm the only one who liked them.

Does anyone remember those, or am I imaging things confused. Couldn't find a picture.

 

[RadishRose]

I don't recall those, but I'm sure you're not losing your mind.

I remember exactly what you're talking about. They looked like those "pool noodles" that kids use to float on. I don't think they lasted long on the market.

I love them! My wife makes small ones using cocktail franks. She makes up her own dough, for the "blankets", rolls them in it and puts 'em in the oven. I always eat too many but they are one of my favorite meals.

We've never bought any "ready mades" so I can't comment on those.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I'm curious about the brand of readymades that people prefer.

I think that it would be handy to have a box in the freezer.

Pillsbury sells wiener wraps which is pastry you wrap around a wiener and bake.

It's quite good with mustard. It was quite common here in Canada because it is an English expression and tradition.

They probably used sausages like breakfast sausages instead of wieners for pigs in a blanket.

My mother in law was English and that's where I first heard the expression. Pigs in a blanket.
