I picked “other” because I like all four choices in the poll, without any clear favorite. But they really do have to be Lil Smokies to make me happy. ---

> [@Omar\_Little](#): > > That’s a cabbage roll. :dubious: There’s a relavent poll [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=551903) I don’t use the term “pigs in a blanket” because it has at least three correct meanings. To me, it’s a sausage in a pancake, but I’ve also heard it used for cabbage rolls. ---

Ah, a favorite childhood meal. For me, it’s gotta be a Hebrew National hotdog split down the middle with strips of american cheese (not cheese food), wrapped in a Bisquik dough, with a slice of bacon wrapped around the package. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-60 minutes or until the bacon is dark and crispy and the Bisquik is cooked through. Nirvana. ---

I’m indifferent to them, and I’ve never had them with biscuit dough. ---

Mom made them with bacon wrapped around hot dogs, no cheese or dough in sight. I have no idea where she got that from. I don’t make them, but I think bacon would improve the ones I’ve had at parties. ---

I like them with the sausages on one plate and the buttermilk pancakes on another. 🙂 ---

I would like to add that I also put a chopped up Snickers Bar in a crescent roll for a poor man’s chocolate croissant. This is the dessert for after you finish off the piggie, the blanket and the sheet (or whatever we are naming the cheese). ---

[Poll from last year](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=551903&highlight=pigs+blanket) showing 21% said they were breakfast sausage in a pancake. About 10%(many Polish, etc.) said it was a cabbage roll. ---

Pigs in a blanket is breakfast sausages wrapped in pancakes covered in maple syrup. Any other definition is plain simple crazy talk. I will now declaim the poem I say every time we have pancakes, while the kids roll their eyes and laugh: Roses are red Violets are purple Sugar is sweet And so’s maple surple. ---

I thought the only way to make them was chipolata sausages wrapped in streaky bacon. No idea that there were variations - you live and learn. ---

My elementary school used to make them with some sort of yeast roll dough, which was heavenly. Voted “other” ---

How much does maple syrup set you back in Thailand? Or do they have “pancake syrup”?
