Pigs in Blankets

[DisillusionedEmployee]

Can't be bothered to make my own this year. Fresh or frozen?
Who does the best?

Iceland's Luxury Pigs In Blankets...mmm

they came 1st in the Good Housekeeping taste test :)

Iv heard good things about Aldi's frozen pigs in blankets. I always buy frozen in advance and they have always been nice

Just get frozen. Much nicer!

Do you have a local farm that sells produce? Our local one does them and they're epic

We always shopped in Sainsbury's, Marks and Asda previously but this year we discovered Aldi I've been super impressed with their food all year so will be getting the majority of the Christmas dinner from there. The pigs in blankets they have look yummy

Oh and agree, just go with frozen. We bought the Sainsbury's Christmas food to order the year before last and I was unimpressed.

i could not afford to buy as many as we need.

Last year I made NINETY SIX and they were all gone by close of play Boxing Day.

there was seven of us for Christmas Day and a couple of visitors for Boxing day.

Id say fresh but frozen would taste almost the same x

We had Tesco and M&S last year and the Tesco ones were actually the nicer of the two.

Morrisons are horrible

We do a pigs in tasting every year. M and s have routinely come out bottom (blind tasting) Morrison's came out top last year, beating all other supermarkets and our local award winning butcher.

We have yet to do our pigs in tasting this year.

I'll try to remember to update if I'm not too busy wallowing in pigs.

Tesco!!!! Sorry, I meant Tesco came out top last year! Bloody hell! I've not even had any yet and I seem to be deliriously piggy!

I hate the term pigs in blankets.

Makes it sound all lovely and cosy when it’s actually one bit of a dead pig wrapped up in another bit of a dead pig.

This isn’t a dig at meat eaters btw, just the term.

Aldi frozen ones are fab. We have been having them on our practice Christmas dinners (Sunday dinners) for a few weeks and they are as good as last year. My only advice, if you want any for the leftovers, don’t put them all on the table on Christmas Day, save some in the kitchen for later on.

Well I generally shop at Aldi so I guess I will start there!

Watching with interest. Dd no longer eats meat; dh and I eat less (mostly cured meats and chicken); ds is massive meat fan.
Am thinking of a vegetarian Christmas dinner, plus epic quantities of PIBs.
I found a suggestion of roast halloumi wrapped in thinly sliced smoky aubergine as an alternative, which sounds right up dd’s street.

what would you call that quince ?? Sheepjuice in VeggieSheets?

if you are going down that route I'd have thought mozzarella might be nicer than halloumi

Have you seen the pigs in duvets? They’re cute! Wrapped in pastry

I am sure I read that Aldi are doing a triple sausage pigs in blankets this year.

Aldi are doing a foot long pig in blanket!!

We buy Sainsbury's fresh. DS2 has them for snacks all year round! 😂

I've yet to meet a pig-in-blanket I didn't enjoy but we had Aldi last year and they were lovely.

This thread has made my day, especially Rhonda's. I know what you mean about the name, but it's also just irresistibly silly! And irresistibly delicious.
