I wonder how many drinks in, if any at that party, made you think, "I can totally flip this absolutely massive cutting board in one fluid motion without dropping any food"
I think the flip would have been successful with an extra person one on each end to hold it more firmly to the cutting board.
@@kuhrd Or holding the baking sheet from underneath and cutting board from the top as to "sandwich" them between your hands, then flipping.
@@K-MHamm Or even just with a smaller cutting board so you can actually grip the edges of the pan correctly & not hit yourself while flipping the board.
@@CaptHayfever or just flip the sauce containers instead of the pigs in a blanket
@@K-MHamm I suspect the issue there is that the thing was straight out of the oven.
When you go for kevin’s pigs in blankets but then you get a Kevin’s secret chili ending
...i think you caught the easter egg, dang it
The key to Kevins secret chili is carpet hairs.
@@dylanelfert3943 you forgot the important part of air frying the hairs for roughly 15 minutes
I’m HOWLING
Underrated post
I'm now realizing the potential of a full hot dog in a blanket.
sausage roll mate
Just now? I’ve been having them for dinner since I was a kid.
Corn dogs
Slice down the middle and add cheese. You can also just wrap them in the big and flaky Pillsbury crescent rolls
They are called hogs in duvets in my house
When babish tells you not to really bother to make it from scratch, you know home made puff pastry does not make much of a difference
Similar to snack foods which are extremely difficult to replicate in a kitchen puff pastry is just fine buying from the store not just because of the over all taste not being that different but because it's nearly impossible to get the layers to the same thinness as the manufactured kind.
True
Its cheaper that is all.
@@jgodwin717 It's also significantly easier, & doesn't make much difference quality-wise. Especially if you buy the slightly more expensive stuff with butter instead of oil.
Speaking from experience, home-made filo dough is also usually not worth the effort. I say "usually" because I'm sure there's some conceivable reason wherein it's more convenient to make it yourself.
In the uk pigs in blankets are bacon wrapped sausages, we’d call these sausage rolls
Much preferred and arguably healthier.
Yes, but we generally remove the sausage meat (actual sausage, not wieners) from the uhhh... skin? Coat? Whatever it's called. Makes it a bit softer and easy to eat.
@@biboofers6390 not really
There are many recipes for sausage rolls that just say to use sausages with the case
The case isn’t really that much of an issue, it doesn’t taste of anything I don’t think
@@RocketMannn__m I have never seen, nor would I eat or make a sausage roll with the casing on the meat. It's morally wrong. The recipes you've seen must be the equivalent to the American 'Cup of English tea'
If you don't slice them, you've essentially made a British sausage roll. Also in England, a pig in blanket is sausage wrapped in bacon, which is the absolute highlight of Christmas
I have seen brawls break out for pigs in blankets
@@Themanwiththeplan1899 I mean, if it meant more pigs in blankets, I'd commit several bad things
Also, a prune wrapped in bacon is angels on horseback. But if you wrap an oyster in bacon, it's devils on horseback. England is weird.
@@FaultAndDakranon other way around. The oyster is the angel
@@ShaneWalta oh yeah! I remember now. The recipe adapted from the Persian one is the devil. The local estuary oysters full of cholera are the angel. My statement that England is weird remains standing.
wow, quite different from UK pigs in blankets. ours are normal mini sausages instead of mini hotdogs, and they're wrapped in bacon.
im sure both variants are equally addictive.
edit after watching the rest: im definitely gonna be trying out some fancy sausage roll idea now!
Ours (uk) are by far superior. These are an absolute travesty.
How did the UK out-America America
Now what we need to do, is wrap our pigs in blankets, inside an American blanket…
Sausage, wrapped in bacon, wrapped in pastry 🤤
Bacon wrapped Smokies are definitely a thing in America too, so in the end it's just a name difference which is understandable.
UK's are better :) they just made bad sausage rolls
A poetic end to the pig platter, falling to the floor just like Kevin's chili incident 😂
That's a Sausage roll........ pigs in blankets are bacon wrapped. ;-)
Although puff pastry is traditional- Real office fans know that Gabe used leftover pizza dough to make his pigs in a blanket.
Was scrolling through to find this exact comment
This episode, Andrew remembers all those bagel toppings he bought for the Everything Bagel.
As a great internet chef once said, "making your own puff pastry is like making your own kitkat. Sure you could, but why would you do that?"
Those are mini sausage rolls! A pig in blanket (in the UK at least) is a sausage wrapped in bacon
This is what they are in the US
@@apatternedhorizon yep
Interestingly, in Britain "pigs in blankets" refers to tiny sauages wrapped in bacon, not pastry. The latter (sausage rolls) are so ubiquitous here- at least in Scotland- that they would hardly need such a fancy name, and are a year-round staple food.
not to mention this size are usually called mini or party sausage rolls
the full size sausage roll is roughly the same length as a regular sausage, made in the same way
Our version of a sausage roll has been a thing since the 1800's too. I'm all for variations, but you gotta call out the Brits when you take one of their signature snacks.
BABY I HEAR THE BLUES A CALLIN
Chop salad and scrambled eggs
Tossed salads and scrambled eggs
wait, in the uk (or atleast in my family) pigs in blankets are wrapped in bacon, not pastry-
Edit: What have I started xD
And yes, we have these in the UK too but they’re called sausage rolls here
This is the usa version
@@michaelliggett1622 no i know, i meant that i've never seen the us version before lol
@@NightRaiderTea correct. I guess this how our neighbors do it which is pretty cool
Welcome to my confusion when finding a recipe labeled “flapjacks” in a British cookbook. 😂😉
@@DrFranklynAnderson yeah, you guys call pancakes flapjacks, right?
Do you have actual flapjacks under a different name?
Sausage rolls not pigs in blankets
What I find most impressive is Andrew’s restraint after the failed tray flip
Pillsbury makes these things called Cornbread twists, and they work *phenomenally* as pig blanket wraps. Almost like making tiny corndogs without the mess
I can’t believe more people haven’t tried full size pigs in blankets!! My family has always preferred using canned biscuit dough and crescent rolls. The crescent rolls in particular are absolutely perfect for rolling up, no trimming required!
pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon, sausage/sausage meat in puff pastry is a sausage roll!
This is the first time I have seen pigs in a blanket with puff pastry. We always used biscuit dough and either hot dogs or cocktail weenies. Can't wait to try this version
Hi Andrew! I hate to admit how much I love piggies in a blanket. It broke my heart to see what happened to the tray of piggies; I would have eaten them anyway. I’m not supposed to watch food bloggers any more because it triggers my own food experiments but I get vicarious delight through watching yours. Thank you for your efforts I really appreciate you.
Now I need to know about your most adventurous food experiments!
I'm from England and we would call what you made a sausage roll and a pig in blanket for us is sausage wrapped in bacon, which we have with our Christmas dinner.
Try making Riddler's Latte and slice of Pumpkin Pie from 2022 Batman movie
What got me was Andrew using the fanciest grape jelly container I've ever seen when we all know our moms were making the super bowl sauce with Welch's out of the plastic tub.
See, I know there are different kinds of “Pigs in a Blanket” such as those seen here, but I grew up knowing pork and rice wrapped in cabbage as Pigs in a blanket. Just goes to show how creative and open ended food is.❤
That sounds like cabbage rolls.
Reminds me of when I would have rice, cucumbers, and meat (any kind of meat like steak slices, sausage, chicken, spam, etc.) and I would make little sandwiches out of them kinda like a lunchable by taking the meat and wrapping rice around it, rolling it into a ball, then slap two cucumber slices on the top and bottom and boom, you had a little nice cucumber-rice ball sandwich me and my sister would call “krabby patties” lol
I’m not even going to wait till new years, going to go get some ingredients and make this tonight.
How was it?
Something to make after reaching 10 mil subscribers:
The Simpsons- Ethiopian Dish (The Food Wife episode)
The Owl House- Fried Orb
Cruella- Baroness' Lunch
The Looney Tunes Show- Daffy's Complicated Banana Split (Peel of Fortune episode)
Steven Universe- Literally All Toppings Pizza
the variation i make is - use crescent roll dough, fill each one with 2 little smokies, a little cheese, fully encasing them, then mix honey and sriracha together for dipping
it's like a klobasnek and pig in a blanket combined themselves
Cool. In the UK, our pigs in blankets are cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon.
These American pigs in blankets are exactly like UK "sausage rolls" - sausages wrapped in pastry.
Edit: Googled it. UK version is "pigs in blankets". USA version is "pigs in a blanket". Both are delicious.
Interesting. I was a expecting bacon for this reason. Though the cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon and pastry does sound very tasty.
So a pig in a blanket in America is just a sausage roll with the skin still on the sausage or a frankfurter twist like my mum makes (hot dog wrapped in cheese pastry). In the uk a pig in a blanket is a chipolata sausage wrapped in bacon.
4:47 Only a man like you, that has so many times reached for greatness only to fall at the last hurdle, could react so calmly to that. I think I would have sat down and cried. Perhaps this is a sign I don't take enough risks in life and therefore do not suffer enough failures to learn resilience
biscuit dough also works for quick and easy pigs in a blanket! either the pop-tube version or bisquick, whatever. my dad’s always made them that way with full hotdogs, u just spiral the dough around like a little mummy (cheese-stuffed brats are a recent favorite hotdog substitute for us)
Pancakes wrapped around breakfast sausage works too.
Crescent roll dough works well with no rolling.
@@karactr8361 Those were my parents' version. It takes one or two to remember the right angle to get the sausage fully wrapped, but then works out just fine
These are more sausage rolls, pigs in blankets are usually sausages wrapped in bacon.
In the UK this is the USA version
Not in America; we don't have sausage rolls and this is what we serve as pigs in blankets 100% of the time.
The issue with the tray flip was the fact that you tried it with such a heavy board. You couldn't get the momentum or the control that you needed. Next time try putting a flexible cutting board directly on top of the tray that you're trying to flip, bind it down with some plastic wrap, and make the flip onto a second cutting board, so that the plastic wrap is sandwiched between cutting boards. Then rest the whole thing on the presentation tray, cut away the excess plastic wrap and use the baking tray to hold the food in place as you slide the plastic sandwich out from underneath the food, leaving the food directly on the presentation tray.
His problem was gripping the sides where he could not completely hold the baking sheet since the cutting board was so much longer than it. If he had held the front and back sides at opposing ends instead (or, you know, got a helper), he would have been able to rotate over just fine.
As a brit I'm highly triggered by this! Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon! What you're making here is a sausage roll!
my grandma made pigs in a blanket with everything bagel seasoning for Christmas this year.
absolute gamechanger
Babish saying Medisterpølse just made my day. Might just make my whole year
Seriously, I had to rewind and check that that was real. Finally, a victory for the Scandinavians! (Especially Norwegians and Danes.)
Danish sounds like a dying man with sore throat
Swedish sounds like a baby invented it
Norwegian sounds like someone liked a sound and decided to make a whole language with it
Ultimate Scandinavian language slander
I had to go back a few times before I realized that he was talking about medisterpølse.
Several comments have pointed out that here in the UK what we call Pigs In Blankets are traditional breakfast sausages (usually mini ones) wrapped in streaky bacon - though I'd argue pastry is a better analogue for a 'blanket' than bacon. Maybe a more accurate name for the UK version is Pigs In Strips Of Another Pig...
My take on pigs in a blanket is this. You cover the inside of the dough with curry, roll the sausage in the dough, then light wet the outside of the dough with water, roll the whole thing in breadcrumbs and bake. Once done and fresh out of the oven draw a line of ketchup on top so that it caramelizes a bit and enjoy.
I haven’t that much pain since Kevin dropped his crock of chillis.
I always thought that "Pigs in a blanket" were made by wrapping a sausage in biscuit dough and baking, or rolling up the sausage with a pancake. Never heard of doing it with puff pastry, but I'm excited to give it a try!
Isn't this just what a Saucage Roll is? I've been watching a lot of Australian CZcamsrs recently, so all I hear is them talk about Saucage Rolls.
Sausage rolls are generally made with sausage meat inside pastry, not a sausage (or hot dog, in this case) in its casing placed inside pastry.
My experience with pigs in a blanket is my dad making them out of Pillsbury crescents, definitely how I still make them
Here in the UK pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon, whereas sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry is called a sausage roll
This makes me want a breakfast version with sausage and pancakes drizzled with honey.
What perfectly proportioned pastries to pork palettables!
Could you please do your own take on the Fiesta Burrito with Chili and Eggs that Dan Aykroyd makes for Robert Stack in the food truck scene from Caddyshack 2?
My grandmother used to make pigs in a blanket a lot when I was a kid, but she did it with whole hotdogs. She would just wrap them in premade crescent roll dough and bake them in the oven. She would also cut a long slit down the hot dog and put slices of cheese and pickles.
Full size hot dogs for pigs in a blanket, so chaparritas basically :) although those are hotdog, wrapped in cheese, then wrapped in dough, then baked. A great treat indeed
That missed flip was devastating. I love that you showed it anyway.
Pigs in a Blanket while in a Blanket? That's comfort on top of comfort!
For full size dogs I've always used canned croissants. Lay each triangle of dough out, stretch and spread it a bit using my fingers, and then wrap up a hot dog in it. And bake. I don't even bother chopping it up.
Please make Clam-entine Crystal from Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated episode, "Where Walks Aphrodite"
Perfect video to make after reaching 10 mil subscribers
In the UK, this is essentially a Sausage Roll. For us, a Pigs in Blankets are sausages (usually ‘cocktail’ chipolata’s) wrapped in bacon.
Arnt they suppose to be pizza dogs? Since Gabe was using the leftover pizza dough and it offended Michael
Time for a new episode of Botched by Babish!!
Point of order, when you use sausage as filling , it’s no longer and pig in blanket, but a sausage roll
I kinda want to see you make Pizza Taco, Wiener Taco, & Taco Taco from Rocko's Modern Life Static Cling
My Father used to make those for us for dinner, but we rolled them loose and into the blanket roll we added cheese, fried onions, ketchup etc
Loved it so much
Hi There, British person here! :) Just wanted to comment as I wanted to ask an American: Are those your versions of Pigs In Blackets? I'm very curious to know, as in the U.K these would be snack sized 'Sausage Rolls' (as the correct size rolls are the length of the sausage itself); with the U.K's version of Pigs In Blankets being full length sausages (usually chipolata, but other types can be used) wrapped in 1-2 slices of bacon (usually unsmoked, but smoked gives an extra flavour) and roasted until cooked through and golden.
Now i'm not giving any opinions here (this is the youtube comment section after all..) but I just want to say that both are great foods, and i would happily have one if offered.
(Late) Merry Christmas, and A Happy New Year! :)
Yes this the us version
Yes, this version of pigs in a blanket is a very common American party food. Using puff pastry is a little lush-more common is premade biscuit (what the UK would call a savory/unsweetened scone) or crescent roll dough, but that may be my middle-class Midwesterner experience talking. Cocktail sausages are the norm, using full-sized dogs is also Babish being extra. Don’t think we have chipolatas in the States (looks like the closest equivalent would be what we call “Italian sausage”) but I doubt anyone would turn their nose up at them at a party, even if they use back bacon instead of our streaky bacon. Thank you for being like the only Brit here not faux-outraged about American PiaB-we’re two different cultures with different names for things, it’s not that big a deal. Hope you and yours have a happy New Year!
@@DrFranklynAnderson Okay, so you're saying that it's more common to use that of similar to what you would find at an american KFC...? (that's my only U.S Biscuits experience sorry). Though that seems 'weird' to a Brit, I would also be interested to try some. Could be something similar to the British 'Toad in the Hole'...?
Any thin sausage works. Too thick and the bacon burns before the sausage cooks through (unless pre halfed-cooked). Streaky bacon does actually works quite well imo, as you get the rich flavours of the bacon rind :)
Also no problem. CZcams comment sections are always toxic, so I try to talk to people as you would in person :P
Thank you too for enlightening me!
@Harry Lee Oh don’t feel bad, KFC biscuits are definitely the right idea! Maybe not exactly the same-it’s been a while since I’ve been to KFC, but I’m guessing they make their biscuits with buttermilk in keeping with their Southern US-inspired (‘cus _no one_ thinks fast food is authentic 😂) cuisine.
In grocery stores here, they sell pre-made, pre-portioned biscuit dough and crescent roll dough in these kind of cardboard cans. Basically a buttery dough with chemical leaveners instead of yeast. That’s generally what’s wrapped around the cocktail sausages. I’m a little more knowledgeable on British food than most Americans-I have a pack of hobnobs in my tea drawer and made a steamed Christmas pudding last year-but I haven’t tried Toad in the Hole to know if the taste is similar. But the basic idea of bread wrapped around meat is the same!
Truly I have never seen pigs in a blanket using puff pastry. Everyone I know has always used Pillsbury crescent rolls
Happy New Year to Andrew and the Babish Universe
The piggies in a blanket look like sausage rolls to me haha. I know it's the US version but you have to try the UK version of pigs in blankets which is a small sausage wrapped in bacon. It is Christmas wrapped in bacon and it is delicious. Seeing Andrew eating pigs in blanket in a blanket made my day and year!
I am loving the international responses to this video. Calm, collected, no one losing they're **** - simply "yeah, in my country we do it slightly differently - here's how we do it'. This kind of comment section is my jam 😍
I've recently moved to Spain. Not sure what the local equivalent is but I look forward to finding out (oh, and specifically Catalan equivalent as I'm in Barcelona).
The Pigs in a Blanket I usually have don't use puff pastry but Bacon instead.
In Denmark we have "Pølsehorn" we either use normal long thin sausage and cut it in half, or if you are lucky you can find medium size made for "pølsehorn"
That's the wrong kind of pigs in blankets Andrew 😁
He’s American. Stop it 😅
In Texas we just called the large ones kolaches small ones too. Really if it's sausage and a pillowy puffy bun it's a kolache except for hot dogs. Those are different
congratulations. You made a sausage roll.
Mate he’s AMERICAN 😂
These are really popular in Denmark and I really like them, directly translated from what we call it in Danish is sausage horn❤🙃
Would be interesting to see how Andrew handles the British version of pigs in blankets, i.e. small chipolatas wrapped in bacon
I have always had them as whole hotdogs slices down the middle, slice off a block of cheddar inserted into it, then wrapped in crescent roll dough.
Who knew I'd have a trauma response from "Cutting the tips"
Pigs in a blanket are a super nostalgic food for me, though instead of party appetizers, they’re supper items. My dad would use full-size hot dogs, wrap them in crescent rolls and cheese slices (pepper jack is my favorite), then pop them in the toaster oven, and it was a hit every time. Also awesome presentation for the piggy board at the end.
Sausage gravy would've also been killer on the breakfast sausage piggies
I remember when I was younger and my family made pigs in a blanket, we used full sized hotdogs rolled with crescent rolls with sliced cheese wrapped around the hotdog
British pigs in blankets will always be superior in my opinion, but these are more like sausage rolls so they get a pass 🙏
for those who are less culinarily incline you can get the crescent dough from Pillsbury and if you cut them right you can also make these
Which is what I do because I really don't enjoy the flaky puff pastry + greasy hotdog combo
@@Condescending_Absol same plus The doughboy is cheaper than puff
that perfect bit has meme potential
In the UK, this would be sausage rolls.
Pigs in a blanket is sausages wrapped in bacon and, to me, Pigs in a blanket will ALWAYS be sausages wrapped in bacon.
Love your channel and always find your videos interesting to watch
Try making all the foods that T-Bo was selling on a stick from iCarly running gag?
This is interesting because I don't think I've ever seen pigs in a blanket done any other way but using whole dogs (not cutting them at ANY point) and wrapping Pillsbury Crescent rolls around them.
Ah here we go.
As a Brit, yeah that's a sausage roll for my cultural experience and yes I'm always gonna think of Ricky Gervais if you say "The Office".
It doesn't matter. It's not the biggest deal. Those look scrumptious. I'm not kicking Andrew out of kitchen if he calls makes them like that and calls it what he knows it as.
However, he does need to try our version for the yum
4:46 - Yup, that about sums up this year more or less.
Though I would have totally started picking some of that stuff off of the table anyways lol
Needed this today!
Andrew was too proud to ask for help with the flip, but his vanity was his undoing.
Do people not understand the concepts of regional variants? Also, not all pigs in a blanket in America are made with sausage, so it isn't that strange for us to not call them sausage rolls.
Wonder how many of these same people would have their minds blown from the differences between Thai, Japanese, Indian, and Jamaican curry. It's not that serious.
Also, neither sausage nor hot dogs wrapped in bacon are foreign concepts to us. Don't really care all that much for it personally.
EDIT: And what's with all the spam comments about the "real" pig on a blanket? And I don't mean the same sentiment being shared. I've seen at least three of the exact same comment
I do. Not sure why everyone else from here doesn’t comprehend it 😂 it’s fascinating
“wet sausage makes for slippy piggies” is the most heinous phrase but i want it on a shirt
Babish needs the Supernatural cookbook, Food From The Road,’ because I want his take on Winchester Surprise! Someone make it happen please!
Ah, pig in a poke!
Rise and shine, Sammy!
My friend. You are a GENIUS
@@OddsandEndsandOtters Thank you!
As extravagant as the preparation behind this is it’s sorely missing in one fundamental ingredient (bacon). Bacon strips are the very blankets that wrap the sausage-pigs.
Translation for the rest of the world: 'Sausage roll but with hotdog instead of sausage'.
You didn't squeeze the water out of that cucumber. That tzatziki's gonna be watery!
Oh man, I wonder what dish Alvin made that took a week or more to make?
One of my "famous dishes" in my family is fully cooked, cooled and dried, whole sweet italian sausage wrapped in crescent roll dough. Then baked until the dough is golden and the sausage is hot again, I sealed the ends though so they are fully ensconced. Also, breakfast sausage wrapped in actual crescent rolls for pigs in a blanket/biscuits and gravy. Unfortunatly, I don't have clever names for them though.
It's only now that I know what they're called today. Here we just call them sausage rolls.
"Wet sausage makes for slippy piggies", I have to find a way to use that in conversation this new years!
As someone from the UK, this is very confusing. We know pigs in blankets to be wrapped in bacon, not pastry. XP
In the UK we call them sausage rolls! Pigs in blankets in the uk are sausages wrapped in bacon, its a traditional side dish in Christmas Dinners
I love how mad we as a nation get when Americans call these pigs in blankets.
Dumb thing to get mad about but I guess that means your life must be great and I’m here for it.
In the UK that is not a pig in blanket, that is a sausage roll, kind of, we don't use the hot dog style pigs, or dogs, or whatever they are calling them. A pig in blanket is a cocktail sausage wrapped in bacon.
We make them with breakfast sausage and pre made crescents in a can for a quick breakfast and it's delicious
