Way Ahead of the Pack or a Clueless Culinary Cliche

I've alway enjoyed the pigs in a blanket and my friends have always gobbled them up whenever I've brought them along. People gobbled them up faster than I could bake them at MGDub's birthday a few years ago. According to the nytimes, pigs in a blanket have become a staple at hip Manhattan parties so I can't decide whether this means I'm ahead of the the pack or I've been a little clueless about just how unchic pigs in a blanket have been for all of those years I served them.
