Pigs in blankets

Pigs in blankets is the name of a few different foods in the US and UK. Pigs in blankets is a colloquial British name given to chipolata sausages wrapped in bacon (streaky bacon is most common). These are cooked in the oven along with roast chicken or roast turkey, and served as an accompaniment to these dishes often as part of a Sunday roast or Christmas dinner.
In the United States, the term refers to sausages (usually small hot dogs like Vienna sausages) wrapped in biscuit dough and baked. They are served as an hors d'oeuvre or as a children's food. They are simliar to a small sausage roll. The name can also refer to a breakfast item in which a breakfast sausage is wrapped in a pancake. This item is common on menus at breakfast restaurants such as Denny's and IHOP.
