Talk:Pigs in blankets

They're Dutch!!!
Pigs in the blanket are a traditional Dutch dish known as Saucijsjes and they go back way before 1957. Dutch immigrants brought them to America around the mid-1800s. My mother was making them for Christmas Eve dinners in our home beginning in the 1940s. The Pella (Iowa) Dutch Cookbook, a collection of recipes contributed by members of a local church, included at least two recipes for saucijsjes in the 1950s and called them a traditional Dutch recipe. And they're made with ground pork, not a premade sausage in a casing, and the ends are closed, not open. This is one of the biggest whoppers I've ever seen on Wikipedia. 24.127.191.163 (talk) 03:05, 16 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Goodness me! You’ve lived a very sheltered life if this is the biggest ‘whopper’ you’ve ever seen on Wikipedia. The item you describe appears very different from what are popularly called in the UK as being “pigs in blankets”. 146.199.132.137 (talk) 09:13, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That dish appears to be more like Pigs in a blanket; I've added this there:
 * In the Netherlands, is a puff pastry roll filled with seasoned minced meat. Valereee (talk) 16:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Delia Smith
This article quotes the zombie fact that Delia Smith popularised Pigs in Blankets by including them in her 90s cookbook; this appears to be false.

I own that Cookbook, and I can’t find them, nor are they included on the accompanying tv show (available in the Uk on iPlayer) nor in the later book (DS Happy Christmas). Both books mention the similar Bacon roll (tightly wrapped bacon cooked on a skewer - without a sausage), but this is clearly a different dish, and not one she dwells on.

There are dozens of articles saying essentially the same thing about the Delia cookbook, but I can’t identify the original, in any case it is clearly wrong! 2A01:4B00:D000:5F00:1CAA:CD95:FC1C:FD70 (talk) 13:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I've removed the entire paragraph. It's entirely possible most if not all the articles referring to Delia popularising them have lifted the claim from this article.


 * Also, the reference to the first recipe appearing in 1957 was in an American cookbook, so it won't have been a recipe for the British version. Barry Wom (talk) 13:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just coming here to say that. OED has 1999 as it's earliest reference to the _name_ "Pigs in Blankets" 2A00:23C8:4286:401:DCE7:5837:CBE2:4D21 (talk) 08:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
