National Pigs-in-a-blanket Day
With just a few ingredients, National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day is celebrated on April 24.
The term often refers to a variety of dishes, which is celebrated around the world. Pigs-in-a-Blanket is often hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit or croissant dough and baked in the United States. Pigs-in-a-Blanket are usually served as an appetizer or as breakfast. However, it can be served at any mealtime!
Another common version of pigs-in-a-blanket is cabbage rolls stuffed with a beef filling. It's often coated with a tomato or cream sauce. Many recipes use the term "pigs-in-a-Blanket" to describe just about every meat product wrapped in something. For example, one recipe we found called for stuffing a hotdog with a slice of cheese and wrapping the whole thing with bacon. There is no dough or cabbage here.
Although some sources credit Betty Crocker for the first printed use of the word in 1957, there are evidence from 1901 reference recipes for pigs-in-a-blanket in a variety of ways. However, the word did rise in usage in the English language after being printed in the 1957 cookbook.
