One article I saw said that in the US this is called toad-in-the-hole but I have never heard it called that:

What are they? Do I want them? It would be wonderful to make a birthday menu or such with only foods with strange names

In Canada pigs in a blanket are hotdogs wrapped in pastry.
But sausages wrapped in bacon sounds much better.

Both seem perfect for my birthday party but not the canadian version as they don't sound tasty enough to try to work out insulin dose for, especially as I'm going to eat at least a half fat rascal too!

US pigs in blankets are the same as Canadian pigs in blankets. I never heard of the version of sausages wrapped in bacon but those sound good too and I have a friend who would love those.
@JohnEGreen is the top picture fat rascals? I only read about them in a book and one of the women was always baking the most yummy-sounding things. Including treacle tarts and molasses taffy as well as bread. It was a horse story and I thought Fat Rascal would be a good name for a pony. It was long before the days of ponies named Hairy Trotter.

I love reading about yummy sounding things of which I have no idea what they are! Currently I'm craving 'pocket pies'. Supposedly you can put them in your pockets and warm your hands on them until you want to eat them and they haven't completely fallen apart in your pocket by that time and they're also not covered in the nasty stuff that collects in pockets. They even have double sided pocket pies with one half of meat filling and half with apple and of course you share the apple half with your magical talking horse!
I fully expect something this perfect will be low carb as well if you want them to, apples and all!

Yes they are scones with cherries for eyes and blanched almonds as teeth to make a rascally face.
You can find a recipe here

But they are very high in carbs I would think.

Good thing I just finished my supper of fish and chip. Otherwise your post would have made me really hungry!
(Or maybe it's not so good that I ate the fish since it was battered cod with malt vinegar. Oh, well ... )
@JohnEGreen thanks for posting about the fat rascals. I thought those looked like little faces on them in the pic! Kinda like gingerbread men.
will try for a nap later.
