What is the real name for pigs in blankets?
Pigs in a blanket are also known as devils on horseback, kilted sausages, and wiener winks. They are typically small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites. For this reason, they are usually served as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre or are accompanied by other dishes in the ‘main course’ section of a meal.
Why do they call it pigs in a blanket?
