Pigs in blankets are Christmas food here for no good reason. I'd eat a hundred a day all year but they only turn up in shops at the start of December. They're not close to sausage rolls though.
The pastry used in pot pies is the same stuff used in the best sausage rolls too so it is a genuine mystery why they haven't been embraced in the same way.
Puff is amazing.
Also, 'casseroles' in America look like cat vomit.
Tastes OK but it's too fucking messy.Quote:

Pretty sure Mert means these pigs in blankets. Although having spent time in England he may not beQuote:

He better not mean that or he can find something else to call them. Pigs in blankets are cocktail sausages or chipolatas wrapped in bacon, not a hot dog sausage rammed through a croissant.
To be fair you should've been kicked out for that nonsense. I refuse a fork and knife where possible at home. Gravy/mash/Peas/beans/soup require one, the rest of the other stuff I eat, full caveman.
EDIT: @HILLSBRO
They're proper sausages wrapped in bacon round here. Brown sauce to hold the bacon to the sausage. Next level.Quote:

That's just a fry up gone wrong. They have to be bitesize or what's the point?Quote:

I'm sure they do. It's a sausage and it's bacon, you could leave them a day and smother them in HP Fruit Sauce and the quality would still shine through, but a pig in a blanket is what it is, and it isn't a fucking Cumberland wrapped in eight packs of bacon, as great as that would be.Quote:

Make some.
Stick to your deep fried haggis ya Scottish mental, let the big boys handle this.Quote:

Yeah, I know that. I usually end up educating them on the real ones.Quote:

Battered chips > all
The Black Country's contribution to the art of food.
Battered chips you say? That's a new one to me, but it sounds ace.
It was recently brought to my attention by a girl at work that where she's from (I want to say Wigan, or somewhere around that way) putting a pie inside a bread cake and eating it is a thing. Which fascinated me. Can anyone confirm that?
No idea what a bread cake is but pie in a roll is pretty commonplace.
Bread cake :cab:
Fucking Northerners.
Wigan kebab.Quote:

Well, this is definitely happening at some point in the near future.Quote:

Our local chippy does 'em. The scraps too :drool:
Very few foods exist that aren't improved by batter.
The Chinese closest to me batters its 'salt and chilli' chips, which are amazing, but I've never had normal battered chips.
Stick a Scotch pie in a roll and fill the little recess on the top with beans, then put a handful of strong grated cheddar on top. You'll go numb down one side within about ten minutes of finishing it but it's well worth the heart attack.
They aren't bad (I tried someone else's) but the issue is you're likely getting them with something that's already battered which is a bit much.Quote:

What does the bread roll bring to the meal? I mean apart from yet more starch/carbs on the plate.
As in barm cake.Quote:

Is a pie in a cake a different different thing or are you calling a bread roll/bap a cake?Quote:

Whereas in real life a bread roll is one of those hard ones that there are basket and baskets of on package holidays, that you have with soup.
And baps are breasts.

Goons here have stupid names for them too like blaa, but bread still isn't cake.
It brings bread to your ham and cheese. The plate in that picture already had chips, pastry, and possibly potato inside the pie. At this point it's basically all starchy carbs, why not go all the way and add some pasta and rice while we're at itQuote:
