      I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

      Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.

      The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

      The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

      Are the UK pigs are always wrapped in bacon? In the states the “blanket” is far more commonly some sort of bread, like puff pastry.

          Sausage roll does not apply since hot dogs are not sausages. And I love sausage rolls.

          Extremely cheap, fast food that’s greasy as fuck, has barely any nutritional value, and so convenient that you can just eat it out of the bag - sounds like an American dream.

          I’ve found American food is generally less liquidy grease than british food. Americans don’t want fried chicken dripping in grease, they want it dried then covered in various sauces. Also places like golden corral and cracker barrel already exist and are kinda dying

          I’m not exaggerating when I say that wars were started over less, and Australia and the UK would probably happily have their finger on the nuclear button if America doesn’t come to its senses and just embrace the correct food names…

          oh no… anyway, moving on…
