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.

It’s fine, we are all vegans on here now.
How about not having a sig at all?

A non believer, the bacon collective will lay waste to your views and systematic destruction of their ways!

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,

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

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.
