M and S Pigs in Blankets
Let’s talk availability. You can find them year-round now, but eating them in July feels vaguely illegal—like having a snowball fight in a heatwave. That’s why the Christmas-only version tastes better. It’s the forbidden fruit of the pork world. The seasonal scarcity makes you crave them like a crack addict craves… well, crack.
Finally, a pro tip: you can use them as diplomacy. Have a grumpy guest? Hand them a plate of M&S Pigs in Blankets. A smile will break out like a sunrise. A war could be stopped with these. In fact, I suggest the UN stockpile them for peace negotiations. “Give up your nuclear weapons, and we give you two trays of the good stuff.” Problem solved.
So next time you see that iconic M&S packaging at a party, don’t hesitate. Grab a handful. Politely. Then run. Because these little pigs aren’t just snacks—they’re legends wrapped in bacon, and they deserve your full, enthusiastic, slightly gluttonous attention.
