Taylors Hot Honey Pigs In Blankets Crisps - 150g

Every UK Christmas the crisp aisle goes slightly mad, with dinner-flavoured bags turning up next to the mince pies. Pigs in blankets is the flavour that makes the most sense, because it is the one bit of the roast nobody ever leaves.

If you grew up with them on the plate, the craving tends to arrive somewhere around early December. A bag of these is the quickest route back to a British Christmas when you are spending Christmas in Canada, and it involves no oven at all.

This is a 150g sharing bag, the sort that gets tipped into a bowl when people come round and then quietly carried off to one end of the sofa. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard. Once it is open, finish it, which will not be the hard part. It goes well with a film, a drink, or a cold turkey sandwich on Boxing Day.

Put them out with the rest of the British Christmas food: the tin of chocolates, the cheeseboard, the mince pies. They also make a good stocking filler for someone who misses home.
