The season for holiday parties is almost upon us and Aldi want to make your hosting duties a little easier with its novelty Pig in Blanket. While pig in a blanket is not exactly an innovative appetizer option, the fact that Aldi's version is two meters long will definitely get your attention.
For those unfamiliar, pigs in a blanket is a bite-size appetizer that generally consists of sausage wrapped in a layer of pastry or bacon. Now it seems Aldi has taken this concept an run with it by creating a two-meter-long version of the dish. As a rep for the brand explains, "This impressive novelty Pig in Blanket is the longest in the UK (yes, we checked)." To keep things organized, Aldi has wrapped the appetizer into a giant spiral shape that looks deliciously festive.
