I cooked them today to save time tomorrow - they've all fallen out. Is this normal?

Did you stick cocktail sticks in them or soemthing to keep them together whilst cooking?

sorry that was one of my more unhelpful posts of the year

never done them myself

Did you use thin strips of streaky bacon?

If not, all is explained

coldtits · 24/12/2007 14:03

I used bits of bacon - it says cooking bacon on the packet, I cooked with it, and it didn't work. I don't think I allowed for shrinkage of the blanket.

They are pigs in handkerchiefs

lol @ pigs in hankerchiefs

sorry about that....

have you got any more bacon to wrap some more on.

I wouldn't worry, probably no-one will notice that there is more sausage than usual hanging out both ends. - and if there's any complaints they can do it next year!

surely all bacon is cooking bacon

Join the club...the lids came off my mince pies. I don't think pastry is my thing.

Ohhh no. I'm not doing them again. I will inform The Family that "The pigs in blankets went Wrong. Never mind, they still taste the same."

I wouldn't say anything - just dish em up

Furball · 25/12/2007 19:38

were they OK coldtits?

I'm sorry, but your thread title made me laugh! And don't worry about culinary cock ups. We had one, I repeat one rock hard roast potato each at my MIL's yesterday.

coldtits · 25/12/2007 22:30

They were fine. My mother troffed most of them anyway!
