Crescent roll. No cheese. And you have to use the pork little smokies. and you leave the ends of the smokies sticking out. Which means you only use a portion of the crescent roll dough for each one, not the entire thing. If you fully enclose the smokie, then it’s “Pigs in a sleeping bag.” ---

Crescent roll with cheese. Where there can be cheese there should be cheese. “Pigs in a sleeping bag” made me lose my shit, people are staring. ---

Liquored up and willing to try anything. Oh. No cheese. In either case. ---

I have only had the Crecent roll with cheese and I hated them. It was way too rich, salty and buttery even for my 10 year old self. I have refused to eat them since then. I would probably love hot dogs with biscuit dough never tried them. Oh and I love pancake batter and breakfast sausage ---

Pigs in a blanket are breakfast sausage wrapped in a pancake. No other kind exists :). ---

I’m always a fan of cheese, personally. [This attempt amuses and intrigues me, though.](http://www.youtube.com/user/dailygrace#p/a/u/2/prZm1RECvSw) Never thought of that before. ---

I prefer mine to be the British style recipe - using bacon for the blanket. ---

Never been fond of either type. Worst version I ever had was someone who used vienna sausages in pie crust strips. What I would like to try sometime is wrapping a piece of lieberkaese with mustard in pie crust, sort of a meat poptart. ---

Quarter pound kosher doggies in jumbo crescent-rolls, no cheese. ---

Which means you only use a portion of the crescent roll dough for each one, not the entire thing. If you fully enclose the smokie, then it’s “Pigs in a sleeping bag.” Exactly this. We call them piglets in a blanket. ---

Cabbage rolls are known as “pigs in a blanket” where I grew up (Western Penna.). And they will be known as that to me forever more. But that’s a discussion we’ve had in the past. As for hot dog rolls, I prefer a wiener wrapped in a crescent roll with a slice of Velveeta. ---

I like my worstenbroodjes in a basic roll, not biscuit or crescent. And you can leave the cheese out too. For the rolls 2 cups of all-purpose flour 1/2 cup of warm milk, plus two tablespoons 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast 2 teaspoons of sugar 2 tablespoons of butter 1 egg [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-you-like-your-pigs-in-a-blanket/591069.md?page=2)
