True, or indeed too few devils on horseback. I hope none of you have to suffer the ignominy of biting into one thinking it's a pig in a blanket, as I once did.

I just looked up devils on horseback, why would anyone make those? They sound horrendous.

Dates with bacon are lovely. I can’t see how anyone would swap a date for a prune and call it an improvement though!
Cheers,

Sounds like the kind of thing really old people enjoy eating.
How about not having a sig at all?

My mother-in-law, who is mental, calls pigs in blankets "pigs on horseback". I think I prefer that name.

What's the Northern name for pigs in blankets? Twiddleflumps?

Re: Christmas 2018
Pigs int blankets is the Northern name. The Southern equivalent I believe is "Gloucester Old Spot Hog cylinders nestled in a cured pork eiderdown".
Northerners would only use the word "Eiderdown" in a sentence such as "Eider'down as one o them so-fist-i-cates but tee-urns owt she was a reet wrong un"... so "blankets" had to suffice.
