on 9/15/2008 You are correct. There is also a dish called pigs in a blanket that are a hot dog wrapped in a crescent roll. The hot dog recipe is of German origin, and my recipe for pigs in a blanket consisting of a ground meat and rice mixture wrapped in a cabbage leaf is of Slavic origin. Thanks for the interest in this recipe. Enjoy!

on 9/11/2008 Does anyone know the origin of this recipe. I grew up in Connecticut and always thought of "Pigs in a Blanket" as being a hot dog wrapped with a crescent roll. When I moved to Pennsylvania I noticed the food made in this recipe referred to as "Pigs in a Blanket" but I don't really understand how the name came about since the meat in the middle is actually from a cow and not a pig.
