And if you ask me; we were right.
Oh dear. The pigs in blankets (cocktail sausages with bacon wrapped around them) flavour isn’t really a flavour at all. It’s two different flavours smashed together and it’s hard to say if the Tesco crispy snack department have got the mixture right because the flavour just doesn’t work.
And hang on, was this meant to be a Christmas flavour? There’s nothing at all to stop you eating pigs in blankets at any time of year, but the market, and (whisper it) the American influence, has conned us into believing this is a dish/side (horrid expression)/flavour for Christmastime.
The bad thing is the peanuts don’t shine through because the alleged pigs in blankets flavour gets in the way. Even where the crispy coating has fallen off you can still taste it. So you can’t really appreciate the nuts.
What were they thinking? This Christmassy combo doesn’t work. And I don’t really like the way the crispy coating just comes off. The whole concept really doesn’t do it for me.
The Chef didn’t like these nuts either. Which is not a good sign because he simply loves peanuts.
Have to entirely agree. The lead flavour should be bacon...but these taste exactly like the sweet chilli variety. In fact so much so that I thought maybe they mixed up the production line? Very disappointed
ReplyDeleteI didn’t try the sweet chilli ones because I don’t really like sweet chilli. But there was something very wrong with this flavour. What a pity
