Pigs is a blanket? Why, americans, why do you invent such strange names for normal food, such as "sausage in bread"^1?

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Toad in a hole? Yorkshire pudding? Stargazy pie? Bubble and Squeak? Welsh rarebit? Bangers and mash? Bedfordshire clanger? Spotted dick?

Why are you riding the American’s ass, mate?

"Pigs in a blanket" was originally a UK dish with sausage wrapped in bacon. I am however poor, and without bacon or sausage, so I settled for Hotdogs and bread. haha

Also, not American.

Because pigs in a blanket is more relatable to us.
