I've also heard people call stuffed cabbage the same thing.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Because books.
See, I keep reading it as "dogs in a blanket," which we make all the time for movie or game night with the kids. Mini hot dogs, crescent rolls, easy peasy.

Not peppers, stuffed cabbage. I'm from Western Pennsylvania, ie, madly swarming with German immigrants, ergo the German definition.
Hot dogs in crescent rolls, mmmm.

Our wings are not tired.
I thought pigs in blanket was stuffed cabbage. I'll have to make "dogs in a blanket" for DH and Bobby some time. Brendon and I don't do dogs, but we can stuff ours with cheese. Cresent rolls = yum.

My daughter and I butted heads over the pigs-in-blankets definition, too. She uses it to refer to hot dogs in crescent rolls and I use it to mean sausage wrapped in pancakes. Makes me wonder how much of it is regional, since, as connie said, her part of Pennsylvania used it to describe cabbage rolls.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So unfair. I've been a good girl with letting my nails grow and today while I was updating the marquee one broke off as far down as possible without drawing blood. Workman's comp! I demand restitution.

Oh and where I'm from pigs in a blanket is sausages in pancakes.

mean sausage wrapped in pancakes.
This is closer to my understanding. I've never heard it used for cabbage rolls.

It's very much a German thing, according to my neighbors and that Wikipedia article Aimee linked to. I think the hot dogs and crescent rolls is probably Betty Crocker's '50s update of the traditional English sausage-and-pancakes.
Love that mid-20th-century comfort food. I am now so jonesing for hot dogs and crescent rolls.
