This could be a heretical thing to say, but I quite like the look of battered sprouts, and before I resume my annual campaign against pigs in blankets, the battered version of those look better as well.
Who can be anti pigs in blankets?
Muslims.
And Jews for that matter, perhaps that can finally bring them together.
I'm not doing the full argument again, but PiBs a) have a shit name and b) are too much of a good thing and unbalance the plate.
On their own I can just about accept them.
Leftover 'PIBs' are one of the best things about Christmas.
*Figs in a blanket.
I honestly want to fight Jim right now.
Jim you knob. You could always call them Kilted sausages, whether that makes you feel better or worse about them though, who's to say.
OK, I'll suggest this compromise: let's ditch the turkey, and just have six massive pigs in blankets as the main meat element of the Christmas dinner. That way you have a proper balanced plate but you people also get your pork-on-pork perversions sated.
In my house they were always called 'bacon rolls', and made with sausage meat and thick bacon rather than sausages and shit. I thought 'pigs in blankets' was an Americanism for sausage rolls until somebody offered me a wanky sausage coated in shit bacon. Anyway, you get some right shit ones out there, so maybe the 'bacon rolls' set an unfair standard for me in life.
What a couple of cunts.
Pigs in blankets is marginally less shitty than devil's on horseback but both are shit names for wankers (and oysters are a bit crap all round). They were always just sausages in bacon in our house.
Some of you are verging on bacon as a personality territory.
I don't think that I've ever had pigs in a blanket.
Pigs
I'd love to have a small one as a pet.
Some pubs do cows in quilts. I’ll let you decide what they may be amongst yourselves.

Is it something you find in an unflushed toilet bowl?
Now that's a pudding.

Foot long battered pig in blanket and deep fried mince pie.

Only positive from that is the charity aspect.

I made this last night and it's absolutely banging (leftovers even moreso today).
I used the recipe from his book which is the same but calls for double the amount of shallots, and I'd recommend doing the same; halved and cooked for a while. The whole thing takes forever tbh but it's worth it.
That sounds good. Might give it a go.
I bought the Bosh cookbook with the aim of doing Veganuary this year.
Veganuary. Fucking hell.
Anyway, we bought this yesterday and it seems pretty great. It can cook a whole chicken In about half an hour.
We made Chicken Shish Kebabs in it last night and they were superb. Going to make yoghurt tomorrow.
Caramelized bananas atop of bourbon soaked French toast. Can't breathe.
Making a curry as a single man is so tedious. Absolutely loads of preparation and cooking for one meal and some leftovers. Nah.
That PIB discussion was so shit. It's just a name and they're incredibly difficult to fuck up. They're obviously great.
My mum has gone veggie so we had nut roast on the table this year and it went really well with everything. It may have even been my favourite thing on the plate after pork and apple sauce.
My cousin asked me if I wanted to sponsor her for 'Dry January'. Putting aside the money going to a worthy cause, as I heroically did when saying no, you fucking what love?
What was the money meant to be going towards?
Never heard of people being sponsored for Dry January before. I thought it was just a way of trying to be a bit healthier after the excesses of December. That's all I'm gonna be doing Veganuary for, really. Hopefully lose a bit of weight too.
I don't actually know. I just figured it would have to be something good to balance the absolute front of the scam.
Wasn't that bird with one eye a Vegan, Boyd?
KFC's new fries are, if nothing else, better than their old fries.
I actually really like them.
They're a huge step up from the cardboard ones.
They haven't got rid of the curly fries have they? They were always the better of the two anyway.
They've never had curly fries over here.
Hold the fuck on, KFC elsewhere have curly fries?
You get Curly Fries in Irish KFC's? You were fucking right to fight for independence based on that alone.
When I went to Prague (2006) we had a McDonald's a few times and they treat(ed) their main meals like Happy Meals, but instead of a shitty toy, you got a surprise side. These included Mozzarella bites on one occasion and nuggets on another. Curly fries pisses all over that.
Google isn't throwing up anything regarding curly fries.
I have just spotted that KFC in America sell this:

Who the fuck would go to KFC and order a pie? Other than people from Wigan ofc.
McDonalds need to bring back their hot dogs. It might be the nostalgia more than anything, but my god they were unreal.
