We test foot long pigs and blankets from M&S – and they’re worth the eye-watering price

WHOPPING foot-long pigs in blankets are absolute bangers, according to expert taste testers at The Sun.

Bacon wrapped round a little chipolata has been an inch-long porky Christmas staple for decades.

Sun man Isaac Crowson was more than happy to pig out on these foot-long pigs in blankets from M&S

The porky Christmas staple has been enjoyed for decadesShutterstock

But Marks & Spencer has gone the whole hog with a pair of British 12-inch sausages encased with streaky bacon, costing £7.50.

We cooked them for 30 minutes — and Sun journalist Isaac Crowson was more than happy to pig out.

“They were absolutely delicious and were cooked to perfection by photographer Ray Collins.

“I had them with mustard and thick crusty bread with butter.”
