old fashioned pigs in a blanket ?

During the depression my mom used to eat pigs in a blanket--it was sausage and rice rolled up in a cabbage leaf. Sounds yucky to me! My grandma would make me pigs in blankets using leftover pie dough, which is much better than with crescent rolls!!

Could it possibly be bologna boats? I never had those until I was working at a school that made all their food themselves. I do not see how it would be a pig in a blanket, but you fry a slice of bologna, then top it with a scoop of mashed potatoes and cover with grated cheese. They call it bologna boat because the meat curves up like a bowl, sort of.

Sausage with pancake wrap is the new millenium version of the old standby...pigs in a blanket...which were/are hot dogs wrapped in biscuit dough. Pop open the biscuits and flatten them with you hands into a larger circle...cut a hot dog in half, put it on the edge of the circle and start rolling it up ....fold the ends in and press them closed to keep the dog in there and then bake (Or you can leave the ends open for "looks"). Bake until the biscuit is golden brown...8-10 minutes. These are a fav or all kids from "back in the day" and my kids and now my grand daughters love them. Especially with lots of ketchup and mustard to dip them in! My husband hates everything I cook, but he will sneak these when I make them for the kids!

I like pig in the blanket I eat them about once a week. I like the ones made with beef and the breakfast ones made with egg and sausage or ham. Pig in the blanket can be made with any type of meat or food stuff.

My kids love these. I make them when we are sitting down to watch a movie together. I often make tater tots or fries with them. Yum!

The only pigs in a blanket I have ever heard of was a hot dog wrapped in a crescent roll..my kids loved them and they were rather festive for kids parties...I never heard sausage and pancake referred to the same way...

Hello snuggles. I have heard of these. I think what you are talking about is sausage cooked with rice rolled in cabbage leaves and covered with a tomato sauce. I think they were also called stuffed cabbage. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/stuffed-cabbage-rolls/detail.aspx

Thats too funny. My Hubby was just telling me that I should start making pigs in a blanket for dinner once in a while. I asked him if the ment the little smokiews wrapped in a biscut we make for appetizers once in a blue moon. He told me that the ones he wanted were just regular hot dogs wraped in bread dough and baked. Ive had a lot of requests for dinner but that has got to be the easiest one that has ever poped out of his mouth. I have no idea if this is the old version or not, its just what he thought they were.

I was born in the 1950's and all I've ever seen have been wrapped in biscuits or crescent rolls... maybe its a regional thing?

I never made these and have eaten very few. But i think you made a thin dough circle and wraped it around the hot dog, then baked until dough was done and hot dog hot and juicy. If I remember correctly it was very tasty.

I am guessing the old fashioned version in the 1950's is home made biscuit dough wrapped around a weiner or sausage. But I heard of them in the 60's and 70's when the biscuits you buy in a can were new and we used them to wrap around the weiners. My kids grew up on those!

Out here in the middle of PA pigs in a blanket is actually stuffed cabbage rolls made with a pork filling. Some do serve them with mashed potatoes or potato dumplings. It is the same as with beef just they use ground pork.

My mother would have said that the pigs in a blanket when she was growing up were very much the same thing that you've described as what we know of as pigs in a blanket. She said that when she was little it hotdogs wrapped with biscuit dough was something that her mother fixed for her and her siblings on a regular basis because it was easy and didn't require a lot of time for a woman that worked full time during a time when women didn't typically work outside the house.

The pigs in a blanket I grew up eating are hot dogs, cut long ways so that you can lay them flat (don't cut the whole way through). A layer of mashed potatoes were then placed on top of the hot dog and then a slice of cheese. They were then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbled. This is one of my favorite foods as a child... So good

Morning...bunnybon! Dont' want to date myself, so can't answer for the 1950's...LOL! But can for the 60's, and our version of "Pig's in a Blanket"...of course would be PORK sausage (re; the word Pig)wrapped in just about anything; most common...left-over bread dough wrapped around partially cooked pork sausage, then baked. Of course, we would try other things..left-over pie dough that realistically qualifies for "sausage rolls"..and then, our own version, which was partially cooked pork sausage, then pat left-over mashed potatoes all around them, roll in crushed "corn flakes" and deep fried and eaten with mustard. I spent a couple of years in Doukabhor country (Russian seperatists)and learned the authentic making of "cabbage rolls", borscht, and perogy's for which I am thankful for...! Take care...and Cheers!
