# Bacon-Wrapped Sausage Sandwiches Subway UK's Holiday Menu Features a New Tiger Pig Sub By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2020-12-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-pig-sub References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2020/12/subway-uk-serves-up-bacon-wrapped-sausage-in-the-tiger-pig-sub-for-2020-holiday-season.html) This holiday, [Subway UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bacon-hot-dog) is serving up a unique sandwich called the Tiger Pig Sub. For those unfamiliar with UK terminology, "pigs in a blanket" refers to sausages wrapped in bacon (unlike in the US, where "pigs in a blanket" refers to sausages wrapped in dough). Subway UK's new Tiger Pig Sub takes the [classic holiday appetizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashfields-pigs-in-blanket-roulette) and turns it into a tasty sandwich. To create the new sandwich, a bacon-wrapped pork sausage is served on special Tiger Bread, which is regular Subway bread that's been coated in rice paste prior to baking so that it forms a crisp crust on the outside that cracks and gives it a tiger-like look. The sandwich also includes veggies such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
