Pigs in Blankets
It's my annual Pigs in Blankets thread. I hope since last year, you've given them a try.
50 in the freezer for 5 of us this Christmas. That's almost 10 each.
What's on your list this Christmas meal?

Re: Pigs in Blankets
If you’re keeping pigs in the freezer, they’ll need blankets

Re: Pigs in Blankets
I keep doing the sum, both in my head and on paper, and I'm almost certain it works out at EXACTLY 10 each

Re: Pigs in Blankets
Pigs in blankets is also my favourite part of Christmas dinner. The sausage and bacon ordered from Carol in Rawtenstall market. Sausages boiled prior to blanketing.... drooling already.

There are three things you cannot have too many of at Christmas .... Pigs in Blankets, Roast Potatoes and Cheese, Pineapple & Silverskin Onion on a stick !

Call it my little joke - I've said on here that 50% is almost half.
Re: Pigs in Blankets
Have you tried mini chorizo pigs with smoked streaky bacon blankets, the Mrs makes them and they are mmmmmmmmmmmmuy muy sabroso
We used to get them from Morrisons ready made but they have stopped doing them

Criminal that they are sat in the freezer.
I pick up 2lb of chipolatas and 2lb of smoked streaky bacon from Edwards butchers on the 23rd. Fresh and home made is the best way for such a cuisine.

Re: Pigs in Blankets
Love sausages. (good ones mind, not them Richmond rubbish)
Love bacon. Especially smoked.
Put them together and they become evil. Outside of the sausage not cooked and looks awful, inside of the bacon not cooked and looks awful. Taste awful too.... it’s like each of them steals the good bit from the other, but then loses it, never to be found again.
Prime example of something ending up less than the sum of its parts.
Simply put, they are for wrong uns.

Re: Pigs in Blankets
Normally have a pig in blanket with an ordinary chicken roast dinner.
At xmas usually do a full packet worth - 10 or whatever.
Leftover pigs go on the xmas sandwich. Thinly sliced pigs, Turkey, cheese, cranberry, mayo, stuffing,(has to be a baguette or ciabatta) foil wrapped and warmed in the oven to get nice and melty.
I suggest you try. Food of the gawds!

I like mine in the modern 'deconstructed' style. Sausage and bacon on a plate with an egg and/or fries on the side

I would say if you ate the every week you should have your own medical team standing bye for the coronary, they are good though and great with chicken dinner as well.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 5:49 pmAlways makes me smile when my family and just about everyone tells me how much they love them and they’re the greatest food in the world, yet only eat them once a year

Re: Pigs in Blankets
Order some pigs in blankets as a side from Bistro 197 at the weekend...full size sausages, very tasty but I was expecting something I could nibble through as a side... 3 on top of the one already placed on my turkey burger was too much
Remember pigs in blankets are not just for Christmas

Re: Pigs in Blankets
I agree, growing up we always had sausages cooked separately, and streaky bacon cooked draped over the Turkey .... and proper chestnut & sausage stuffing, not just Paxo balls ...bobinho wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 5:43 pmPut them together and they become evil.
