‘I tasted Aldi’s new vegan footlong Pigs in Blankets – they reminded me of one thing’

Aldi’s Vegan Footlong Pigs in Blankets: A Taste Test

Aldi has unveiled its newest offering, the world’s first foot-long vegan pig-in-blanket, as part of its Bottomless Pigs-in-Blanket Restaurant experience. As a vegetarian, I decided to take the plunge and give this innovative vegan twist on a classic festive treat a try.

Pigs in blankets are a staple on many Christmas dinner tables, comprising a small sausage wrapped in bacon. It’s estimated that Brits will consume a staggering 668 million pigs in blankets this Christmas, with each person averaging 11.2 of these delectable treats. Traditionally made with chipolatas, these sausages perfectly complement roast turkey, stuffing, and gravy.

Despite having avoided bacon since childhood due to personal reasons, I was intrigued to try Aldi’s vegan footlong pig in blanket alongside its standard vegan options. As the aroma of bacon filled the kitchen while cooking, I was eager to see how these vegan alternatives would measure up.

The vegan bacon lacked the exact appearance and texture of traditional pork bacon, but the flavours were spot on. With a smoky and salty taste reminiscent of Smoky Bacon crisps, I found the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Surprisingly, the smaller standard-sized pigs-in-blankets appealed to me more, being moister and easier to eat.

These vegan pigs in blankets provide a delightful alternative for vegetarians like myself, allowing us to enjoy a classic Christmas dish without feeling like we’re missing out. Whether you’re a meat eater or not, I would recommend giving them a try to add a unique twist to your festive spread.

Aldi’s launch of the vegan pigs in blankets has generated significant buzz on social media, with many eagerly anticipating trying out this plant-based delight. The Bottomless Pigs in Blankets Restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience, including the foot-long vegan pig in blanket, for those looking to savour this festive treat.

In conclusion, Aldi’s innovative take on the traditional pigs in blankets offers a tasty alternative for those seeking a plant-based option this holiday season. With the launch of the foot-long vegan pig in blanket and the enthusiastic response from customers, it’s clear that this new offering is set to make waves in the world of festive feasting.
