Asda is selling footlong pig in blankets as part of its Christmas food range
ASDA is selling a footlong pig in blanket as part of its Christmas range this year.
The huge pig in blanket makes the festive side dish the Christmas dinner centre piece.
It’s a footlong sausage, wrapped in oak-smoked dry cured bacon, and is available in the frozen aisle now.
Shoppers can pick it up for £5 from their nearest Asda store.
The supermarket has also added a second pigs in blankets dish to its Christmas 2021 menu.
The Extra Special pigs in blankets with red Leicester and sweet chilli fondue, combines sausages wrapped in bacon with a smooth cheese dip.
That’s also priced at £5 and can be bought in store now.
Gavin Warburton, senior director of meat, fish and poultry at Asda, said: “We know pigs and blankets are a firm favourite at Christmas time, so it’s a tough task to improve on such a solid fan favourite.
