Pigs-in-a-blanket, or pigs in blankets, are, these days, typically served as an appetiser. They describe a range of small foodstuffs common in many different countries. In each case, they are sausages, of different types, that are wrapped in different foods.
The type of sausages used to make them varies from country to country, with small sausages such as chipolatas, hot dogs or cocktail sausages typically being used. In the United Kingdom, the sausages are wrapped in bacon and are a traditional accompaniment to Christmas dinner. In the United States, the sausages are normally wrapped in some sort of dough, including biscuits (American, not British), croissant and pancake dough, and are then baked. The sausages may, as an alternative, be first stuffed with cheese before being wrapped. These are commonly served at cocktail parties and are accompanied with some sort of dipping sauce.
