Today is National Pigs in a Blanket Day, when we celebrate flaky crust surrounding a meat product of vaguely mysterious origins.  I don’t want to ruin your enjoyment of these tasty snacks, but remind you to always eat kosher hot dogs.  Trust me, you do not want to hear the stories of my younger days working at a butcher shop.  Anyway, whether you like to dip these in ketchup or mustard or your favorite aioli, enjoy them despite the fact that they are usually not made from pork or wool as the name may indicate.  Just enjoy and don’t ask questions.  Better for all involved.  Trust me.
