Same here. I have been making, serving and eating Pigs in Blankets for
over 40 years and they are cocktail franks wraped in Phylo dough.

Let them call it what they want and I will call it what I want, it still
tastes good. I am very Americanized since my grandparents were born
here, which is a very, very long time ago.

They sound just like the jewish version of stuffed cabbages,used to get
them in the deli in the casino in atlantic city,but they are no longer
there,they had a sweet and sour taste to them,i am the nly one that eats
them,so it is too much trouble to make them,but i can buy them in my
local supermarket,but they are pretty costly.

In Prague, Czech Republic, stuffed cabbages is called galômkê
(GAL_ooh_miKahy where _ is a liaison ). My Czech grandmother - not the
Irish one used to make këpusczkê (KAH-POO_sht-EE) It's a flat bread
made with a sweet dough and inside is either rhubarb, cabbage, or a mix
of the two.

What's really cool is my mom being Irish food from the old sod down. To
please my dad, she also picked up a few Czech dishes. As a young girl
when her family had an Italian landlady, she also learned how to cook
Neapolitano and Sicilian from Mrs. Bosco.

So, along with the usual American dishes we sometimes get a mix of the
three cuisines. Seemingly they don't mix, but my mom always finds a way
to blend them. For starters, Antipasto then Cabbage rolls stuffed with
sweet Italian sausage served with home made Irish soda bread that's not
as sweet as some store bought. If theirs room for desert home made
apple pie sweetened with honey, a bit of cinnamon, plus a dash of Irish
Whiskey, just for taste. To keep it all rich and moist she puts in
about six to eight pats of butter. Now that she's in her 90s she
doesn't make the bottom crust any more. Store bought crust is used. But
she sometimes makes the top crust which is a crumb topping mixed with
honey and lemon juice.

Actually, the Polish word "golab", means pigeon. Plural golabki means
"little pigeons". Why they named them that is curious... maybe the size of
the cabbage roll when complete looked like a pigeon's breast. Slovak
immigrants to the US called them "pig in the blankets" because often ground
pork was used in their recipes instead of ground beef.
