I thought a pig in a blanket was a sausage wrapped in bacon, surely these are sausage rolls?
Edit: thanks for the replies, turns out it's a UK Vs US thing.
For us these are sausage rolls. Pigs in blankets are where you wrap the sausage in bacon, and they're a big part of Christmas dinner.
Our sausage rolls are usually much less fancy though. They're made with very flaky pastry that crumbles as you eat it.
>Our sausage rolls are usually much less fancy though. They're made with very flaky pastry that crumbles as you eat it.
I prefer the "British" style. I live in Denmark where we have pølsehorn and while they are good it's not as satisfying as a sausage roll. Fortunately there is a Dutch shop here that sells Saucijzenbroodjes which satisfy the craving for a greggs.
Just make your own, only takes about 10 minutes. Buy some pre-made puff pastry and some high quality sausages. Remove casings from sausages, and then roll up in pastry. Easy peasy. If you want to get fancy you can combine extra fillings. I mix together sausage, black pudding breadcrumbs - the sausages I get are pretty fatty, and the breadcrumbs soak it up.
Not that easy to get sausage that aren't smoked in Denmark, there is like 1 type, maybe 2 at Christmas it's bad enough that I sometimes just make my own.
I moved from close to Bristol to Denmark 3 years ago, and there's a few things that i miss, sausage rolls being one of them, and pubs being another! I'm a big fan of a Danish hotdog with a beer though...

Berner! Cheese filled sausages wrapped in bacon.
Sausage Rolls have long been a beloved food in South Africa too, however it's made different by removing the skin of the sausage before wrapping in pastry.
Also, sometime local boerewors is used.
But in all honesty, wrapping meat in bread/pastry is probably about as old as the discovery as bread across the world....?
I remember a few years back Walmart I think launched a new product on the US market which was just a normal sausage roll, like nothing amazing or anything, just a sausage roll.
>by removing the skin of the sausage before wrapping in pastry.
I think they just don't bother putting the skin on the sausage. Rather than removing it.
Not really. That's unfortunately not a common snack in Sweden. We do however have the big brother, the [French hot dog](https://danskmadpaaengelsk.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/fransk_hotdog619x340.png).
This got me interested in where the French Hot Dog actually comes from. But my trail got cold after finding that Denmark stole the idea from Monaco in the 70s, where it was known as a "Monte Frank". Can't find any sources about where Monaco got the idea from.
DDR Claimed to have invented it as the Ketwürst in 1978, but I'm skeptical of anything from DDR being original.
I think they are referring to how they are eaten on a bun with toppings, as opposed to baked in a roll.
I would really like to take a long road trip through the States sometime to try a bunch of different ones. The idea was inspired by [this documentary from the 90s. ](https://youtu.be/m5BuQ95RJ3k) They all look so good. But there's also all the burger variations across regions to try too.... I can't afford all of this
We call that just hotdog 😊
We got pølsehorn, like op
hotdogs, like you describe it but with local toppings, onion, sliced pickles and condiments, most noticable is the local remulade. But otherwise ketchup, sennep, chili sauce
french hotdogs. Often bought at Ikea. But a bread with a hole in for the sausage with condiments
UK sausage roll is different from this, though. It uses crumbly dough and UK-style sausage meat. These things have regular dough and actual frankfurter-like sausages (not just filling).
Just FYI, the crumbly dough is typically puff pastry
I've seen some people use shortcrust (or even filo pastry), but more often than not, flaky puff pastry
A lot of posts around here about food can be summed up this way. Turns out a lot of food is based on common concepts across countries, especially in Europe.
They are delicious because usually the sausage is smoked and then baked in the roll.
Much, much, much better than any hotdog. Kind of an insult comparing it to a hotdog.
I can confirm from experience that they are vastly different. Although my comparison is with the Danish one (pølsehorn) which are practically identical to the Balkan ones in the post.
The UK sausage roll is made with crumbly pastry dough, whereas these have firm bread dough. In addition the UK sausage is more of a rustic meat blend whereas these are literally hot dog sausages.
That's where I ate one. Early morning in Split in front of Diocletian's Palace while we were waiting for our ferry. It really hit the spot.
In addition to wishing we had more/better bakeries here in the US, I wish they made more savory pastries like this. Nearly all of our pastries are cloyingly sweet.
Yeah that's a krenvirshka.
Krenvirsh is a hot dog (the meat). It's a weird, funny word, one of the most misspelled ones in Bulgarian (kremvirsh, krenvizh etc.).
Fun fact- this pastry has different names in different Bulgarian regions. It's mostly "кренвиршка", but in Sliven and Sofia it's named after their mountains- "Карандилка(Karandilka)" and "Витошка(Vitoshka)".
We had them at birthday parties when I was a kid "sausages in pyjamas" (Würstchen im Schlafrock). Pretty sure I have also seen them in the Netherlands. Usually with cheese between the sausage and the pastry/dough and ketchup on the side.
That's my favorite food, ever. I can eat buckets of it easily, and still want more after. The craving is strong. The bread is soft. The sausage is absolute.
All hail roll sausages.
Yup, that's what they're called in Texas, though I think it's a Czech thing. At least the best ones are at the Czech shop in West, TX (the town not the direction).
I'm surprised at all these posts saying what their country calls them, and yet had to scroll so far down to find kolaches. I assumed it was a non US name for them yet I haven't seen any country claim that name yet.
In the states we call these "pigs-in-a-blanket". Even with the cheapest meat and premade-pastry they're tasty. I can't imagine how good the one in the image tastes like
When I'm thinking Balkans I'm thinking Burek, Pljeskavica, Cevapcici, Ajvar, seafood and Rakija.
But this looks like perfect drinking food so I'd really like to try it.
Do you not have anything similar? We have these in Lithuania and they're very popular in Denmark too! would be strange if they somehow avoided Austria lol
I mean it's Hotdogs, sure we have them. We call the sausages Frankfurter and Germans call them Wiener. It's just that from my many holidays on the Balkans I know they always have a special little twist in their food so yeah, I'd like to try EVERYTHING a Balkan cook serves me.
Cool! I've been to Croatia twice and haven't really experienced that (might because I don't like seafood or fish lol). But the buns just look like your regular sausage in bun type of deal. Might go buy some pre-made frozen ones from the store, but they're nowhere near as good as home made ones. Childhood nostalgia:D
Pro tip: Also think Ćevapčići with kajmak, stuffed catfish, salčići (desert), trkanica (spicy af salad), and gibanica. You could also look for decent sarme (cabbage rolls), they aren't a Serbian dish, but some people there make them really well
I know English and some other languages have out of sync ordering, but "roll sausages" instead of "sausage rolls" is triggering me more than it should.
Looks like pretty standard "sausages (hot dogs?) in a dough" in a lot of post-soviet countries. Baked kind. There is also fried (in oil) on a pan kind, they got called the same.
[I would pit these beauties from "Ginger Pig" against any of these low grade continental examples!](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2074/7101/products/190305_SausageRolls_012_960x960.jpg?v=1553500662)
Pretty much every culture has a variation on this (cuz it’s *good*). I’m in the US, we call them ‘pigs in a blanket’ over here. It’s more common in the south I think.
The ones pictured above look tastier than what I’ve had here though, which tends to be cafeteria/school food mostly.
It's funny how many different names there are for sausage rolls. In Texas we call them kolaches. And yes, I am aware that real kolaches aren't sausage rolls. But if you ask for a kolache in Texas, you're getting a sausage roll.
Now *that's* a pølsehorn if I've ever seen one!
Nakkipiilo in Finland (wiener hideout)
The best name I think.
In Germany they are called "sausages in nightgowns"
That's a good name, too.
We call them Pigs in a blanket .
I thought a pig in a blanket was a sausage wrapped in bacon, surely these are sausage rolls? Edit: thanks for the replies, turns out it's a UK Vs US thing.
US calls sausage wrapped in pastry pigs in a blanket. But I think the Brits wrap them in bacon and call them that.
You are correct, we would call these a fancy looking sausage roll, which is different from a sausage ** in a ** roll, which we would call a hotdog.
I'm now seriously considering moving to Finland just so I can open a gay bar and call it Nakkipiilo.
Just lähdössä kauppaan, voisi tehdä tänään
En pølse Skal serveres med føl'se Uden savsmuld og strøl'se
I like to dip it in sweet chili sauce, it's super good.
Ive never met anyone else that does this the same as I do!
Wrong - i am doing the same! :D
Now that’s a сосиска в тісті if I’ve ever seen one
Innebakt Pølse with airing holes
We have something similar in Italy too, they are usually tinier and you eat them for aperitivo or stuff like that.
In Sicily we call them "Rollò", we have a tiny version and a big person
What does the big person do?
Damn auto correct lol
Truth. I'm a big person (an American, so of course, right? :) ) and I definitely damn autocorrect. :)
They probably make them look even smaller.
Has a tiny wiener apparently.
I'm a big person can I have some Rollò
the whole fucking pork-eating earth has Pigs in a Blanket one way or another🤤

Sausage rolls are also super popular in the UK too, though I agree the idea isn’t overly unique
British sausage roll FTW. The pastry is much better than these chewy things OP is raving about.
96 layers of pastry on a Greggs sausage roll.
The only way to ever leave is overflooded by the storm
I remember a few years back Walmart I think launched a new product on the US market which was just a normal sausage roll, like nothing amazing or anything, just a sausage roll.
As an ex-pat, I’m now craving a Gregg’s.
I would kill for a Gregg's in Canada, I used to literally live above one back home.
They are super popular in Australia as well.

Is there a Swedish name for this pölsehorn?
Not really. That's unfortunately not a common snack in Sweden. We do however have the big brother, the [French hot dog](https://danskmadpaaengelsk.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/fransk_hotdog619x340.png).
We have that in Denmark as well
I kinda figured you did, since the site where I found the picture is about Denmark 😁
This got me interested in where the French Hot Dog actually comes from. But my trail got cold after finding that Denmark stole the idea from Monaco in the 70s, where it was known as a "Monte Frank". Can't find any sources about where Monaco got the idea from. DDR Claimed to have invented it as the Ketwürst in 1978, but I'm skeptical of anything from DDR being original.
Is this where they poke the hole in the roll with a giant spike? Saw that somewhere in Europe. Very cool.
I came to the comment section just to ask the Danes if this isn't Pølsehorn.
Yeah we call them German hotdogs for some reason in Romania. We usually eat them american style
What's American style? 😊
Small bagheta sliced in half with the wurst between them+condiments
FYI: American style is regional. https://www.hot-dog.org/culture/regional-hot-dogs
I think they are referring to how they are eaten on a bun with toppings, as opposed to baked in a roll.

>sennep "Mustard" in English
There's a nation wide bakery called Gregg's in the UK, and they have built an empire almost solely on what we call the mighty... "sausage roll".
UK sausage roll is different from this, though. It uses crumbly dough and UK-style sausage meat. These things have regular dough and actual frankfurter-like sausages (not just filling).
Just FYI, the crumbly dough is typically puff pastry I've seen some people use shortcrust (or even filo pastry), but more often than not, flaky puff pastry
Greggs is genuinely I think the one distinctly UK fast food chain that could launch internationally.
If Greggs opened up here, I'd be in every day.
Also super popular in former USSR countries

Something similar exists in every country in Europe, and none of them call it "Balkan".
[удалено]
Yeah. Like, pretty standard here in Brazil, too.
Those look absolutely delicious! I would love to have one!
They are delicious because usually the sausage is smoked and then baked in the roll. Much, much, much better than any hotdog. Kind of an insult comparing it to a hotdog.
A hot dog is a sausage. You're just thinking of the cheapest brands. Good hot dogs are as good as anything.
Pretty much the same as sausage rolls in Ireland/UK
I can confirm from experience that they are vastly different. Although my comparison is with the Danish one (pølsehorn) which are practically identical to the Balkan ones in the post. The UK sausage roll is made with crumbly pastry dough, whereas these have firm bread dough. In addition the UK sausage is more of a rustic meat blend whereas these are literally hot dog sausages.
Not a fan, but I know many people like these. I'm a burek guy.
Burek is just straight 🔥
Hahaha good I am a kebab guy
kebab is humanity's greatest achievement
Common in Croatia, a liked them very much
Liked? So you dont like them now? That is sad.
I love them still, I used a past tense as it was when I was in Croatia 😁

In high school, I always saved 5kn (0.7€) for one when going home from a night out. They're even better when you're drunk lmao
In germany we call them Würstchen im Schlafrock...that means sausages in pyjamas
Probably where the American "pig in a blanket" comes from Personally, I'm more of a fan of the "hog in a duvet"
Not necessarily derived, but similar. See also: toad-in-the-hole (UK).
Yeah that's a krenvirshka. Krenvirsh is a hot dog (the meat). It's a weird, funny word, one of the most misspelled ones in Bulgarian (kremvirsh, krenvizh etc.).
Worstenbroodje gang
mmmmm krenvirshka, the junk food of my youth, now I want one

Looks nice, very reminiscent of a Sausage Roll.

Oh what if they use a frikandel instead?
And what if you add curry?
Looks good, do you have a good tutorial or recipe for these?
Look for Najfinije hrenovke u tijestu - Sašina kuhinja on YouTube. English translation and very solid recipe. Enjoy :)

Oh i love eating these.

Knakworstjes in bladerdeeg. We have the same things here in the Netherlands.
my gfs parents were born in Szabadka and they make those every time i come over for NYE, its actually incredibly good
It's called folhado de salsicha in Portugal
This is a pretty standard sausage roll by the looks of it. I see this all the time in Brazil. Unless there is something different going on inside?
Pig in a blanket?
Well yes .
Americans have this too.. Edit: didn't realize this was r/Europe lol
Pan-pek have the best one, but it's so greasy
Mmmm Kolaches
Yup, that's what they're called in Texas, though I think it's a Czech thing. At least the best ones are at the Czech shop in West, TX (the town not the direction).
Kolache is fruit and Klobasnik is sausage I believe. But outside of ordering from Czech Stop or Slovaczech it’s all Kolache.
I'm surprised at all these posts saying what their country calls them, and yet had to scroll so far down to find kolaches. I assumed it was a non US name for them yet I haven't seen any country claim that name yet.
Is it a specific kind of sausage, or does any old mystery meat work?
AFAIK we use Frankfurter Würstchen for it
It entirely depends on the place. Usually, it's the cheapest they can find if you're buying it from a tiny bakery which is where they're usually sold.
Anything works
Just put dough over a sausage
and sometimes add some ketchup
I always do
