Who here rmember pigs In a Blanket??

[Zeze]

I really miss corn dogs.

pillsbury used to make a cornbread version of the crescent roll, we'd use that instead. kind of like a corn dog.

edit: it was cornbread twists, we'd cut them into triangles.

I didn't even catch that those things in the photo were made with Pillsbury packaged crescent rolls. The ones we had in grade school were made with real pastry made from scratch. The ladies from the parish who worked in our school's cafeteria were amazing cooks. The best ravioli and lasagna you ever had, and an incredible devil's food cake with a marshmallow icing that I can still taste.

Do you guys not have proper sausage rolls over there then?

 

[WelshBloke]

Another gradeschool cafeteria staple. Our cafeteria had the best hot dogs I've ever eaten, right up there with the best NYC street vendor dogs I've had. It was always a major disappointment any time I had a hot dog anywhere else when I was a kid.

Where I grew up, though, this is what we called pigs in a blanket - halupki (stuffed cabbage):

That looks amazing. Cabbage and meat is just a great combo. Us Greeks we do stuffed peppers and tomatoes mostly but we do have a stuffed cabbage dish with a lemon sauce called
Lahanodolmades

Both of those look great!

They don't know meat pies either...sad

Wtf! Say it isn't so!

 

[Carson Dyle]

No, I've never had a meat pie. Closest thing, I suppose, might be a turkey pot pie. Basically a crust with turkey (or chicken) stew inside. Typically bought frozen, with over 1000 calories (never quite understood why) per pie, but if homemade, usually made from Thanksgiving's turkey leftovers.

Heathen's , uncultured barbarians the lot of them

The fuck? Pigs in a Blanket = A Sausage Link wrapped in a pancake with PB. I've eaten OP's pic but in Cali those aren't PIAB. Must be a weird southern thing like calling every soda Coke.

I dont know about the peanut butter, but all the breakfast places or diners have pigs in a blanket as sausage wrapped in pancakes. Even if its not on the menu you ask for it and they'll do it. I guess sausage wrapped in anything is considered pigs in a blanket.

 

[RLGL]

I remember them , a sausage wrapped pancake. Never thought of adding PB to it.

what happened to them, did you lose them?

The US is pretty diverse food wise of course, a lot of countries are these days.

A lot of things might have to be made at home from scratch of course, but are many niche places around in larger metro areas if you just look around.

Even as far as markets to shop at.

Yeah i've had them before, didn't like them though

 

[nakedfrog]

We had a place in the next town over that was doing meat pies, but I guess they didn't get enough business and closed up shop

 

[ElFenix]

even better than meat pies, we have crawfish pies.

mmmmm


also, we have sausage rolls all over the place, just called different things depending on what part of the country you're in. so, in houston, we have klobasniky (which a lot of people mistakenly call kolache--they're not and i blame shipley's donuts for this).

 

[Carson Dyle]

In West Virginia, pepperoni rolls.

Sausage rolls are made with puff pastry!

Ham and cheese croissant > bangers in puff pastry

Not even close!

Warm sausage rolls with HP sauce are just in a different league to ham and cheese croissants!

Don't get me wrong, I'd eat a ham and cheese croissant.

But I'd be thinking about a warm sausage roll as I did it!

 

[DeathReborn]

A local chippie near me does a really nice Sausage wrapped in cheese and bacon before being battered and fried. That alone beats any kind of Frog Croissant.

They plain don't sell them like how they're supposed to be sold- freshly fried from raw batter.

It's crappy supermarket frozen ones or places that sell 'em are also frozen.

I grew up in Korea eating these- the food carts literally deep fried them before your eyes. So so good. You'd bite into them and blowing on them because it's so hot, moist, and utterly delicious.

It's such a sad affair that a western junk food is done better in Asia. I lived in various parts of New England and NY/NJ and I never saw freshly fried corn dogs. MAYBE at carnival or some crap, but never reliably at carts/stores/eateries.

What is that? Fried wooden dowels? Did you grow in in North Korea?
