\"Pigs<\/p>\n

\"Pigs<\/p>\n

I’ve been seeing this recipe for a while on Pinterest recently. The name of this pastry is enough to catch my attention – ‘Pigs in a blanket<\/em>‘? Where’s the pig? Why would pigs need blankets unless they sleep in air-conditioned rooms? And why plural for ‘pigs<\/em>‘ and singular for ‘blankets<\/em>‘? Do pigs know how to share?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After much research, I began to learn more about this pastry. So, the ‘pigs<\/em>‘ come from the pork sausages that make up the key content of this pastry, while ‘blankets<\/em>‘ suggests the way that the sausages are being wrapped up – snugly and all warm (from the oven). The last bit sounds very sadistic, I know.<\/p>\n

Well, in any case, I personally find this a very flexible and interesting dish to have at a party. It makes for a very convenient finger food and can help to generate some interesting conversations. There are many ways to personalise your own ‘pigs in a blanket’ <\/em>too: (1) using your favourite sausages (chorizo, wiener, cocktail, brockwurst etc); (2) adding your own topping on top of the roll (sesame seeds, herbs, poppy seeds, black pepper etc); (3) rolling the pastry your way (in a triangle or rectangle). You can also eat it plain or with dips like tomato sauce.<\/p>\n

It’s a whole lot of fun to make it, and a lot more enjoyable to taste it!<\/p>\n
