Best supermarket pigs in blankets?

[MorrisZapp]

I need to buy about four packets. Price no object! Must be supermarket, M&S etc. We had M&S last year and they went down well, can they be bettered in your view?

Home made are better, or from a decent butchers. Is that a possibility?

Yep, best butchers thin sausages and streaky bacon. Wrap them yourself.

Aldi (pork and venison versions)

Honestly.

Streaky bacon. Get some nice sausages. Do your own. Much much better.

Mine are in the freezer.

Make your own. Two ingredients. 10 minutes for 36.

‘Must be supermarket’. Three out of four answers - ‘make them yourself’ 😂.

I’m giving Sainsbury’s a bash OP and will also pick up a packet from Aldi no doubt (local to me).

That's cos the ready made ones just aren't worth it and its one of the few things that genuinely is piss easy and quick to do.

If you want nice ones just do this! It's cheaper too.

Jolly Hog (Tesco or Sainsburys) or M&S

I’ve had M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, like them all.

I'm using Tesco finest again this year.

Of all the ready made Christmas foods, pigs in blankets is one I’ve never even considered! Over the last couple of months I’ve picked up a few packets of decent sausages from M+S that are reduced and bunged them in the freezer. A family sized pack of food quality thin sliced bacon, jar of mustard and bobs your uncle. I’ve got enough for around 72 delicious PIBs, at a total cost of around £5. I’ll be prepping them on Tuesday -can’t wait! Ps, I also use PIBs to make Toad in the Hole and freeze cooked ones to use cold as sandwich fillings.
Just checked - a 10 pack of Tesco Finest are selling for £3.50.

I made pigs in blankets for years.

Turns out I much prefer supermarket ones! I like M and S and Waitrose.

They were on offer in my M&S today. Can't vouch for the taste yet tho.

I got Tesco Finest pigs n blankets and their normal range - the latter was better. Are they the best? No idea. We are getting some from the butchers this year. His bacon is amazing.

A lot of the supermarket ones seem to use smoked bacon so we make our own with chipolatas and streaky bacon

Just googled Good Housekeeping’s winner this year and it was Aldi’s Specially Selected double wrapped pigs n blankets.

My mum, an incredible cook, always makes her own but I prefer the supermarket ones! Bacon ratio is better with the smaller sausages in the remade ones.

Aldi look to have won the good housekeeping award this year

Thanks everyone! I believe wholeheartedly that your home made pigs are the best, but I'll be buying mine 😊

I do just about everything from scratch (have to due to a family member having a cow's milk allergy and butter being in just about everything) but pigs in blankets is the one thing I can get away with buying pre-prepared so I do. We like Sainsburys best.

We had some Tesco finest ones today (from the fresh fridge not frozen) and we all said they’re the best ones we’ve had!

It literally took me 5 minutes to wrap the bacon around the sausages, they’re in the freezer ready for Christmas. If you don’t want to do them is there a partner or child that can do them? You won’t regret it.

Sainsbury's butchers choice ones are tasty. On nectar offer atm.

But I am doing my own with their equivalent chipolata divided in two with streaky bacon. My 10yr old's favourite job!

I’ve been buying M& S and they are great.
