Wolfie Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I was reading at the weekend about the annual royalties from Christmas songs and the ones I can remember: Slade: £1m Mariah Carey: £400k Pogues: £400k Wham: £300k East 17: £100k Wow.

Surprise Roy Wood isn’t in the top 10. That’s played just as much as Slade! I think shakin Stevens gets about 20k for his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could happily forgo everything all the other food and just have a big bowl of them, with cheese to follow. I've got my eyes on some of these foot-long ones that supermarkets are bringing out and I intend to challenge myself to see how many feet of pigs in blankets I can consume in the day.

JoetheRam Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Why are pigs in blankete called pigs in blankets? Surely pigs in pig would be more accurate. Not sure about you lot but my blankets aren't made out of parts of humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "pig", (i.e. the pork sausage/chipolata) is naked when alone. Wrapping it in a "blanket" (i.e. the bacon) keeps it toasty warm at this particularly chilly time of year. Now, if you move the sausages/chipolatas around a lot (in the oven), as indeed you should, to ensure an all-over even cook, you'll notice the "blanket" will come away, sometimes completely so. Ergo, mimicking the reality of a blanket around a very fidgety person, hence the nickname "pig-in-blanket". Now for the good bit... I have invented an edible zip, made from the hairs on a pig's tongue. Ergo, The Mucker clan enjoy a snug and fully wrapped chipolata of a yuletide mealfeast, and we have renamed them "pigs in onesies". Give it a couple of years, and they'll be all the rage! Blankets are so last year, darling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankets are so last year, darling! Aye, all well and good but surely the blanket should be made from a different substance to that which it covers? Or is bacon so good that if you were a pig you would wrap yourself in the crozzled remains of one of your mates to keep warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cook them, in the oven, on a wire tray, the blankets stay in place and they cook evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 This doesn't instantly remind me of Xmas but it's very clever. I will always think of this whenever I hear this tune from now on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder Noddy says he never gets tired of hearing that song! Not a patch on the Pogues though!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
