Pork on a Bun

It's that simple... there's a national holiday for pork in/on a bun. April 26 is National Pigs in a Blanket day. A sausage by many other names (weiner winks or kilted sausages) would still taste as good.

Of course the 4th Earl of Sandwich in the 1760's is credited with the "sandwich", slapping roast beef between two slices of bread in order to continue gambling and avoiding greasy fingers. And so 'fast food' was born.

Fast or slow, though, sandwiches are tasty! Think of all the great pork on dough of some kind:

• pigs in blankets (look into Wikipedia for more than you've ever wanted to know about pigs in blankets)
• 
  
• tenderloins (you know it...if you're from Iowa...see some of the best...www.porktenderloinsandwich.com)
• 
  
• hot pork loin sandwiches (comfort food...porkloin, white bread, mashed potatoes, gravy...)
• 
  
• peameal sandwiches ( for great pictures and fun Toronto food reading, check out http://closetcooking.blogspot.com)

Enjoy your pork on a bun in April and we'll see you in May.
