Then a dill pickle (small, or quarter a large one) was laid across one end, and then you rolled up the meat with the filling. Then you took string, tied it together at each end. Brown them and then add water & bake them. While you are baking them (in a roaster with the lid on) add sliced celery, carrots and parsnips.

This is how the Slovaks make Holubky. It is also called Pig-in-the-Blanket and it is ground beef or ground pork or a combination of both. In Slovak Holub means pigeon, Holuba means squab and Holubica means dove. Rather cut and dry as names go.
