Talk:Pigs in a blanket

Split

Would any one support a split of the article to Pigs in a blanket and Pigs in a blanket(UK) as they refer to fundamentally different recipes, one is about sausage wrapped in dough, the other is about sausage cooked in bacon. --Hq3473 (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I always thought "Pigs in a Blanket" meant cabbage wrapped around ground beef and rice. It turns out this use of name is common among Polish immigrants in my area of upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania. I'm in favor of all the different uses of the term being on the same page, so that when people come here trying to prove their usage is correct it will be listed.

Comment on old comment: That sounds like the Polish dish: Gołąbki, pronounced about gwumpke. 75.41.110.200 (talk) 17:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

nope my PA dutch family called cabbage stuffed this. It's not jist a polish thing it's also German 209.173.21.221 (talk) 04:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Hebrew National produces a product called "Beef Franks in a Blanket", small franks wrapped in puff pastry dough. I see them listed on HN's website in a Flash-based product brief. (I can report that they're very tasty.) At one time Red L made a similar product. -- SpareSimian (talk) 19:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Pluralization

Is the plural "pigs in blankets" or "pigs in a blanket"? 178.208.131.82 (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

"Pigs in a blanket" does sound a little strange for implying multiple sausages with a single piece of pastry, but some recipe book sources do use it.

Do we know which name is more common in the US? Belbury (talk) 10:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

That isn't pig in a blanket

Pig in a blanket is pork wrapped in cabbage. That is a croissant dog, and it not necessarily pork. Most hot dogs are multi-meat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.116.56.105 (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Where I come from, a hot dog wrapped and cooked in a croissant _is_ a "pig in a blanket", so you're incorrect. Lots of things are pigs in blankets. danzig138 (talk) 08:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Splitting proposal

Two different foods should be dealt in two different articles. I suggest that the article be splitted into Pigs in a blanket (United Kingdom) and Pigs in a blanket (United States) (or Pigs in a blanket (pastry)). --Scudsvlad (talk) 19:02, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

• Support; despite the list of international variants, this does seem to come down to just two fundamentally different types of dish, each eaten in different contexts. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:37, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support two different topics Spudlace (talk) 05:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

The discussion has been open since December. If there is no further discussion I will be split the article. Spudlace (talk) 07:07, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose The British pigs in blanket doesn't have as much content as the American pigs in blanket. Splitting the article would create a stub if anything XxLuckyCxX (talk) 02:45, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Oppose. The British dish is "pigs in blankets", and splitting it to "pigs in a blanket (United Kingdom)" would create a nonsense article. I would support a split into "Pigs in Blankets" and "Pigs in a Blanket" (with the appropriate comment about not confusing the two in the leed) Tristanjlroberts (talk) 13:03, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

That is correct - I've never heard the British/Irish sausage and bacon thing called 'pigs in a blanket', it's always 'pigs in blankets'. Actually, even that name is probably less than 40 years old with the rise of supermarkets and Christmas catering - they were made long before that, but home cooks made their own, and they didn't really have a name. --Ef80 (talk) 18:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

@Tristanjlroberts Do you support the split if the splitted page (for the UK dish) gets the title Pigs in blankets? Because that would be nice. Scudsvlad (talk) 19:19, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

• Support splitting the UK version off into Pigs in blankets with note about confusion and a mention on both pages of the other similarly-named dish. I've expanded the section; it's now a fair stub. These are two completely different dishes that happen to share a similar name and a similar foundational ingredient. Valereee (talk) 13:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

  And my god...google has already scraped it. Valereee (talk) 14:10, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

• I've fixed the concerns of the above opposers, so I'm going to go ahead and split this off. Valereee (talk) 13:36, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
