Wait till you hear that America has 3 different words for pancake, and one of them is flapjack - WHICH IS ALREADY AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BAKED GOOD!

Look, @Bosco, what caught my eye just a few moments ago:

I think we're going to have some pancakes tomorrow morning, or Plinsen/ Eierkuchen as we say

Heck yeah!

Does Deutschland have a version of "Piggy in a Blanket"? What would that be you ask, well it's a breakfast sausage link (pork) dipped in pancake battered and then fried in hot oil. Similar to a "Corn Dog" but for breakfast.

Any who, I know Germany has have access to some the best pork sausages, and I would imagine the skinny Nürnberger style would be an amazing focal point for a "Piggy in a Blanket".

Then you dip those suckers in that maple syrup and you got, HEAVEN!

Pigs in blankets are cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon in the UK.

Isn't language fun!?

Interesting. We cant really nickname cocktail sausages/hotdogs/frankfurters as "Pig" or "Piggy" in my region because generally the Midwest states hotdogs are all-beef product.

The concept of a blanket made of your own skin is quite something too.

I don't know about Germany, but in Austria we call these "Würstel im Schlafrock", which translates to "Sausage in a Dressing Gown"

is pork belly/bacon skin? I would probably classify it as flesh. Thus, double the flesh ("double your fun"),  just one (bacon) more fattier than the other (sausage). I get what you're saying though.

Pardon me for saying, but bacon wrapped meats are silliness. If a fucking sausage needs to be emphasized by bacon, the sausage must be shitty...


Edit: Damnit, I might have to rescind that bacon wrapped remark, I forgot about Porchetta

[Csar]

In Austria they're called Palatschinken.

Yes! That's also known around here (our close neighbour is the Czech Republic). It's not as frequently used though.

I can't speak for all of Germany, but it's probably not a frequent breakfast dish in most of the country. But it's also not unheard of because you can see that on partys like New Years/ Halloween and so forth or when you have friends over for dinner like barbecue side etc.  The ones we have made so far were made with a yeast type of dough that would be wrapped around it.

And we call them almost exactly like this:

"Würstel im Schlafrock", which translates to "Sausage in a Dressing Gown"

with the exception of the a bit more common usage of "Würstchen" (-chen is the diminutive form of Wurst in "standard" German) But we also say Würstl or Würschtl (wyrshtl). The most common type of porky sausage is  known as, wait for it, "Wiener Würstchen" (which would translate to Vienna's sausage) or just "Wiener" (you might be familiar with that one ) followed by "Bockwürstchen", its chubbier sister sausage. Oh, there are also Frankfurter that are quite similar, I almost forgot. There are so, so many types of Würtchen in Germany but I guess these are the most popular, everyday ones.
I believe "Nürnberger Würste/ Würstchen" are mostly a Bratwurst sort of type that would not typically go into such a dish, I guess, as it needs to be grilled beforehand. But then again, I guess there are thousands of variants out there and I may be wrong.

What I definitely never have seen is them being dipped in maple syrup! So I need to save me some of the mighty maple juice for that experiment!

So, what's the third one? And of course, what are the differences? I'm curious!

Yeah! However, I wonder why you would serve those to a cocktail , though???

Ha, you would think that. But wait until you had some Berner Würstl, filled with cheese. Quite tasty. But I agree, it's also quite decadent . When we have barbecue every now and then at my friends' place and these are served, we would jokingly call them "Fleisch mit Fleisch" (meat with meat) to make light of the tasty silliness.
