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.
The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by the American recipe.

But the American monstrosity is a rip-off of sausage rolls, which originated centuries ago. They gave a name to something that they should have known to already exist. Frankly, I’m all for revoking America’s independence and returning them to secondary colony status over this…

Yeah this guys a fraud! Get him!!!

And the one in the photo is a beef wellington.

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.
EnderMB@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The states are wrong. That’s a sausage roll, and it’s been a sausage roll for decades. The whole “pig in a blanket” thing is a new thing from people that basically reinvented the sausage roll and didn’t have the sense to check if it already existed.
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…

No, corn dogs are just wellingtons.
Everything is either a soup, a sandwich, or a wellington.
BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I posit that a sandwich is just a really badly made wellington.
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Or a wellington is just sandwich that is sealed in

Steak?
Wilzax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Steak is an ingredient. When you plate it with steak sauce, it becomes a soup.
SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s salad

If you make the Good Mythical Kitchen 7-11 beef Wellington: It’s the exact same socioeconomic background.

According to the cube rule, these are both Calzones.
froh42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Therefore they are soup.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah. Everything is soup with a good enough blender.

Nobody ever put mushroom duxelles in my corndogs. I feel cheated.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I like cornbread and I like hot dogs, so why I have I never liked corn dogs?

It’s the breadluminati. They are everywhere.

I only knew the old european variant with sirloin.
enbyecho@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Perhaps if you’ve only ever eaten corn dogs…
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If that was the case, you’d probably be under 25, dead, or both, though 🤷
erie09@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, the corn dog got shafted by the machine
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I mean depends on the dog really, some good ones can have pork mixed in too.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 11 months ago
I acknowledge the art and tradition of good rare meat, but that’s fucking raw don’t eat that.
Aux@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s called rare in Britain and it’s safe to eat. Raw is safe too. Also raw pork and venison is safe. As well as eggs and milk. High food quality standards we have.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
For beef you’re generally fine if you kill surface germs. You can serve steaks rare because it’s not really a risk.
Kalkaline@leminal.space 11 months ago
That thing on the right, isn’t a Fletchers so it’s disqualified as a corn dog.
Crikeste@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It’s also a Korean street dog. You would never find that at your local Weinerschnitzel.
flamingos@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Corn dogs are battered though. A beef wellington is actually a posh sausage roll.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
sausage rolls are posh french hot dogs

Or a Texan Kolache.
