No. Pigs in a Blanket are vienna sausages in bread w/ mustard. (I have,
however, heard some people call little cocktail sausages wrapped in dough
Pigs in a Blanket.)

to my family (upstate ny) pigs in blankets involve dough--not bread.
(otherwise, it'd just be a hot dog.) we did the little cocktail ones
when i was a kid, but the local restaurant also did big viennas in
dough. that's what i always ordered--to a kid, this was haute
cuisine.
however, pancake chains now call breakfast sausages wrapped in
pancakes "pigs in blankets" too (i know IHOP does, and i think perkins
does too).
by the way, i resent all the talk of mexican food. it makes me
homesick. went to a mexican restaurant here and all the dishes had
feta in them! i'm down to buying roti and pretending they're
tortillas.
