Pigs in blankets. How many per person?

My DM is hosting Christmas lunch but has bought a 12 pack of pigs in blankets for 6 adults and one child. Before I look like a greedy sod and take another 12 pack with me, how many per person should be served?

We've bought 4 packs, plus 2 massive ones. Massive ones for Christmas Eve lunch. Others to last Christmas Day (3 of us) and Boxing Day (4 of us). I'll probably go out on Boxing Day for more though.

Best part of Christmas.

Pigs in blankets should never be rationed.
We have 24 full size and 24 small ones.
5 adults.
They will all be eaten at some point over two days.

4point2fleet · 23/12/2018 10:47

Between 45-50 per person covers all eventualities.

I agree with this.

Thank you all. I will cook another packet at home and take them with me. I got in a mini argument about them with my DM when we bumped into each other in Home Bargains yesterday.

2 each!

UhYeahISureHopeItDoes · 23/12/2018 10:53

In my family they're cooked constantly and piled onto a plate - ALL DAY until all of the adults are too drunk to work the cooker Grin

@UhYeahISureHopeItDoes Xmas Grin Xmas Grin That made me guffaw.

We've got 36 for 3 adults and 4 kids, and I was wondering if we had enough 🤣

stabbybitch · 23/12/2018 11:09

I make my own full sized ones I have 40 sausages & 4 packs of bacon. There are only 2 adults & 3 children Grin I love them cold so am planning on eating them for days, novelty has worn off for everyone else though as we have them with a roast every week.

My husband would laugh in my face if I only gave him 3 pigs in blankets!
Take another 5 packs at least

lol same here

I had 8 people for dinner last year and served 100. Sure I had leftovers but a turkey and pig in blanket sandwich is not to be sniffed at.

Wouldyouorshouldyou · 23/12/2018 11:53

We have 4 adults 2 children and I'm doing 24 pigs in blankets and 24 small sausages. I want leftovers but I can't be sure there will be any!

You need more!

Whitney168 · 23/12/2018 12:04

I just collected my meat order from the farm shop. I ordered 50 for 9 adults, but I got PIB fear and stuck another tray of 12 in. There could never be too many!

delilahbucket · 23/12/2018 12:07

Definitely take another pack. I buy several packs and freeze them. I always cook too many on the day and then we pick at them later. They're very nice dipped in a baked camembert Grin.

ByeGermsByeWorries · 23/12/2018 12:09

I have 24 for two of us Blush guess DH and I will be the pigs 🐷

Tatiebee · 23/12/2018 12:10

I've bought about 50 for two adults and three children (at least one won't eat them) and we will probably still run out. You can never have too many pigs in blankets!

Catsandbootsandbootsandcats · 23/12/2018 12:10

We're having 12 each this year. But we're not having any other meat with it. Can't wait for our pigs in blankets feast! Grin

AllYeFaithful · 23/12/2018 12:11

Minimum 4 each for dinner, then shitloads for sandwiches and leftovers Boxing Day brunch!

PetuliaBlavatsky · 23/12/2018 12:14

Waitrose have just failed to deliver my PIB but I have a pack of 4 giant ones (ie full size sausages) in the freezer and figure those will do. Only 2 (out of 11) of our guests eat them. So surely it massively depends on the guests!

DonnaDarko · 23/12/2018 12:16

I could easily demolish a pack of 12 on my own 😂

opinionatedfreak · 23/12/2018 12:19

Does anyone else call them kilted sausages?

Or is it just my weird family (we are Scottish).

IShitChristmasGlitter · 23/12/2018 12:20

husband came back with 10 full size fresh ones from local butcher....I knew there was a reason I married him Grin

bellsbuss · 23/12/2018 12:25

I allow 5 per person and they all go, I could probably eat 10 Blush

Puppymania · 23/12/2018 12:25

24 for 4 people plus one foot long one each. The foot long ones are a surprise for the family, they are currently hidden in the freezer.
