Subject: RE: BS: Tesco vegan sausage advert (UK)
Down a rabbit hole via Wikipedia to get through this thread! Quorn - who knew? And by the way, Yuck. Not for me.

Pig in a blanket here in the US is a bit different, larger - it can be made with cut up hot dogs (frankfurters) but the small cocktail sausages are really good for it. You can bother to make homemade baking powder biscuits or yeast rolls, but the shortcut is to use one of the packaged roll products and cut them so you have a small sausage wrapped in the store-bought biscuit mix, and bake it. The ideal result is the sausage poking out from both ends.

Now if you want to dig into some of the immigrant cultures still flourishing in the US, look up kolaches. They are particularly big in Central Texas where a lot of Czech immigrants settled. SPJST lodges (instead of Masonic or Eagle or Elk) are big in the area. And kolaches are the king pastry. Sweet ones have thumbprints of fruit filling on top, or savory come with a sausage completely enclosed in the puffy yeasty dough. Mmmm!
