RE: Pigs in a blanket........RE: The knowledge of Sharon...

[Guest guest]

Yeah, Jackie, that's just what grandma called them growing up.  I think they're actually called Guamke - I know I got the spelling wrong, but Grandma, and thus our entire family, called it pigs in a blanket.

So do all of you think of “pigs in a blanket” having to do with cabbage rolls? We have two different  types, one is link pork sausages wrapped up in pancakes for breakfast. Then the other is hot dogs cut into thirds and each piece is rolled in ½ crescent roll triangle and baked in the oven until the roll gets browned.

Now my grandma had a cabbage rolls recipe that had ground pork, onions, and carrots she made and baked from her cookbook that was from Germany. She cooked a lot of German foods as she was married to Wagner from Germany. But I don’t think she called it pigs in a blanket. I’ll have to ask my Aunt. I think she still has the cookbook.

Interesting to hear about all the variances. I loved cookbooks too when I was cooking! I miss those days. L

My mother used to make what she called pigs in a blanket. It was thin round

steak, put a little piece of onion inside and a small piece of bacon. Wrap it

and stick a toothpick in to hold it together. Brown it and let simmer awhile.

Yummy!

My daughter-in-law was born in Pennsylvania and lived there til she moved to Arizona at age 11. She always talks about pigs in a blanket and said it was rolled in cabbage leaves. Donna in PA sent me a recipe for it but I haven't made it yet. I need to do that! Donna lives just over the hill from the little town my dil was from so hopefully the recipe will be what she remembers.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

So do all of you think of “pigs in a blanket†having to do with cabbage rolls? We have two different types, one is link pork sausages wrapped up in pancakes for breakfast. Then the other is hot dogs cut into thirds and each piece is rolled in ½ crescent roll triangle and baked in the oven until the roll gets browned.

Unfortunately, she didn't pass it down before she got sick with Alzheimers, so my sister and my cousin have been dutifully trying to get the recipe right for years!Tina This cookbook is from Elim

Lutheran Church, in Fargo, North Dakota. We haven't cooked anything from it yet, only looked in it, but an overall impression is that many recipes contains pre-fabricated and/or canned goods that can be hard to come by outside of the US, I guess we'll have to concentrate on the other recipes. The cookie recipes, for instance, seem to more often be the "from scratch" kinds. We did learn that the "pigs in blankets"-dish is kind of close to what we'd call kåldolmar, at least when they are made with cabbage leaves and ground meat, as the one in this cookbook (according to Wikipedia most typical for Ohio, interestingly, since this cookbook is from North Dakota). Cookbooks are interesting, as they show so much of history and culture. Pixie is fine, she is in that age now when they really start to talk, and say the most interesting things, I'll post about that in a separate post. We are babysitting her tomorrow, and tomorrow night, as her mother got the opportunity to go see her favorite soccer team play in a Champions League game. That'll be interesting, we were thinking of taking her to the zoo, but perhaps we'll just stay in or go to the beach (depending on weather). I will try and find her a flashlight, because she was very intrigued by mine when I used it to look for something under a chest of drawers, she called it a "lamplight", and wanted to borrow it all the time... love/Reb >> I love it Reb! I love that my name came up in a second hand bookstore in Sweden:) What do you think of the cookbook you bough? My favorite church cookbook is from a Lutheran Church in Blue Earth, Minnesota. I have quite a few church and/or

fundraising cookbooks and I bought most of them at second hand stores. I have used a lot of the recipes and some of the recipes have become our family recipes as a result.> > > How is Pixie?> > > Sharon> This email is a natural hand made product.

Wow, you go your whole life thinking something is only made a certain way, and then all these other recipes come along named the same as what you knew it to be. I guess the bacon was the “pig†part, sounds yummy nne!
