Nope. Way too salty, and you already have two meats. More of an English thing.
Nah I feel like it’s a fairly recent import. I think they’re a thing in the uk because they often don’t have ham with their Xmas dinner. But we do so I think their a bit redundant for Xmas here, they look like they belong on a fry.
I love them. Pork wrapped in pork……what’s not to love.
I did have them for dinner this year but I usually prefer to have them with the picky bits
Never had pigs in a blanket growing up but would have cocktail sausages and streaky rashers rolled up, so the same ingredients but separate items.
I associate them with new years, my aunt lives up north and brings them down with her when she visits. They are so good.
Maybe not for the dinner but I’d slam a plate of those later in the night
Never in my house now, or when I was growing up. No yorkshire puddings either.
If we want to get fully nativist about things then we can’t have turkey either.
This irrelevant policing of behaviour is nonsense masses slop
A food that makes part of a traditional Christmas dinner has to start somewhere. When my Granny was a child there wouldn’t have been a fecking turkey (not that they could afford one anyway).
In saying that, I don’t want them myself, but I sure as shit ain’t judging anyone for having them.
Dates wrapped in bacon on the other hand…
Always seen it more as a party food but wouldn’t of immediately thought brit if someone had them for for Xmas dinner.
Love them. Always have them. Didn’t even realize it wasn’t a thing here!
Not for Christmas dinner but we always had them a snack food over Christmas
I remember we used to do stuffing wrapped in bacon, *as well as* the normal stuffing. It was unreal with the pork fat melting into the stuffing
If you do the sensible thing and have a fry-up on Christmas morning then pigs in blankets should not come into the picture for christmas dinner.
They’re a thing in the north, whether you’re Irish or otherwise.
And what of Yorkshire puddings? 🌝
If ya give me them as a starter or part of a platter of bits i eat it no bother, but I don’t particularly want them on my dinner plate. I have some non-traditional things I allow and I don’t really stray from those.
Genuinely have been having pigs in blankets every Christmas for years, informed my family today that its apparently a English tradition…..they were shocked and mildly horrified but still ate the dozen afterwards.
Yeah, they’re delicious
Lads. You wear Liverpool/Man Utd/Lpool jerseys. Watch I’m a celeb and love baked beans on toast.
And pigs in blankets is where you decide the brits are at it again.
Lads…..
I call them Sleeping Policemen myself..
Has obsessively freaking out about everything associated with England/Britain always been a thing? It’s certainly gotten much worse.
Always, and Yorkshire puddings, but only because my mum is English!

No.
Don’t like them personally.
Doesn’t add any balance to the dinner.
They’re fine as a snack after drink.
