No pigs in blankets

[antelopevalley]

I thought we were ready for Christmas but I have just realised we have no pigs in blankets. I thought I had some frozen bought ahead but there are none in the freezer.
AIBU to send DS out for them and if he doesn't go, manage without?

Of course you'll be fine without.

Christmas is over.

Can you Deliveroo them?? It's not Christmas without bacon, sausagey morsels!

I'd go early tomorrow and get some

I mean I would be devastated without them so probably would send someone out. If none can be found it would be a pack of chipolatas and a pack of bacon to make our own.

This

There are some components of a Christmas dinner I could live without, but pigs in blankets aren't one of them. Despatch DS forthwith!

Go out tomorrow morning.

They are rank. YABU.

That was my first thought too. Christmas just isn't the same without the pigs in blankets.

Depends whether or not ‘DS’ is under 5 or not 🤷‍♀️

Deliveroo do pigs in blankets?!

You’ve got this evening and tomorrow to get some.

This is not a dilemma.

Homemade pigs in blankets are the only tolerable option anyway, supermarket ones are horrible!!

Oh shit I forgot to get some!

All my Xmas shop is done and I have everything...except fresh muthafuckin rosemary

Buy some sausages, buy some bacon, you'll be grand.

Yup. Send DS to get some

You have plenty of time to go and get some.

@xmaslurgy of course! I have Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's on my Deliveroo and all have chiploatas, bacon and Asda have the ready prepared ones. (To me it's not Christmas unless I'm wrapping my own though).

All depends on your local area and which shops have signed up.

I'm not British so I don't personally care about pigs in blankets. But, on the assumption that you need them, I'd do a run to Tesco first thing, before your shower, then you'll be home and sorted before the madness restarts.

Have you got any plasticine?
Could you wrap pastry round some of that?
They will taste much the same as the MRM 'sausage' 😱

I'm vegetarian, but prior to this, pigs in blankets WERE the staple. Along side honey and sesame seed cocktail sausages. I'd eat hundreds, maybe thousands.

I always do that anyway. My local butcher does special half-size chipolatas for the purpose and they're so much nicer made with good quality sausages and bacon.

What’s the problem? The shops are open tonight and tomorrow. I bought some today from Aldi.

Our little coop had loads in just now. In fact you could get a whole Xmas dinner.
