Before baking your bacon-wrapped sausages, dip them in one of the following: 1tbsp honey mixed with 1tbsp wholegrain mustard; 1tbsp sticky onion relish or marmalade muddled with a drop of soy sauce; 1tbsp maple syrup and 1tbsp Dijon mustard; 1tbsp mango chutney and 1tsp sesame or poppy seeds.

Twitter Google. More Stories. The prunes version or, apparently, any other big enough dried fruit are devils on horseback. I didn't even know red cabbage was a Christmas thing. I've only ever had it pickled with beef stew.
We usually had a capon or goose for Christmas. I always remember having turkey, but then, from when I was about 5 we were usually gifted one from one of the farm workers who raised them and I vividly remember being given a boiled turkey egg for breakfast one day, from the same source. I don't know what we had before then - as you say, chicken was a treat - as, indeed, a good one still is! I can't remember the last time I had rabbit.
I don't think I've ever had turkey egg. And I've certainly never had rabbit egg. The last rabbit I had was roadkill! I haven't seen any in supermarkets for ages. At home I serve 'stuffing balls' wrapped with streaky bacon, where the breadcrumbs alongside the sausagemeat in the stuffing absorb some of the fat.
Little chipolatas can be cooked separately, for those who feel they need even more meat on the day! I use full size sausages now instead of chipolatas I remember having capon for Christmas but that's another thing that seems to have disappeared in the UK. We'd have "ordinary" chicken which was probably free range as a treat. It was therefore a bit of a treat.
In Scotland, it was often boiled rather than roasted. I also feel that, in the U. When was the Delia programme that caused the shops to run out of cranberries? Incidentally, neither red cabbage nor parsnips roasted or otherwise were vegetables I ever encountered growing up.
The Americans invited the local kids to a Christmas dinner. The kids wondered why jam was being served with the turkey. My father born in central Pennsylvania, told me that when he was growing up in the s chicken was expensive and reserved for Sunday dinner, while, oddly, red meat was less expensive. Dormer: About "jam" being served with turkey: I'm guessing that serving cranberry sauce which is runnier than jam with roast turkey is another U.
I'd guess so too. I don't think I'd come across cranberries with turkey until the seventies at the earliest. When I was growing up in the early sixties, our family tradition was to have a roast for Sunday dinner which in certain regions and social classes in Britain is the midday meal and it was usually beef, lamb or pork, with chicken only occasionally. Although sometimes as an alternative to a roast, it was boiled bacon. You can still get chicken in France; it was also on the menu in a restaurant in Germany last year I had to look it up, as "Kaninchen" sounded like puppies, which it couldn't have been , but we couldn't order it as they'd run out.
As for jam with turkey - we used always to have bread sauce yum , but also my mother very often served - as, indeed, she still does - blackberry-and-apple jelly with roast lamb or poultry.
I think it was meant to be redcurrant jelly, but she didn't have redcurrants I made a sloe and apple jelly earlier this year which is lovely with red meat. I am very tired this evening, which is why I managed to write "chicken" when what I meant, of course, was "rabbit"! Chicken, rabbit, what's the difference.
Reminds me of the old joke which had the punchline "Well, I'm not going to send you to post a letter. It was always horseradish sauce with beef, mint sauce with lamb and apple sauce with pork. There were a number of foreign residents who weren't familiar with British cuisine.
One day we were served roast pork and I noticed one person had put the apple sauce in a dessert bow and covered it in custard. I like it with pork or sausages, but I have had it with Christmas dinner in someone else's house. And very good it was, too I buy it pre-made when I'm in Germany, as I can never quite get it how I want it when I cook it at home. Discovered that the all-knowing, all-seeing Wikipedia covers all facets of pigs in a blanket the UK, US and international versions in its entry.
What's more, the UK version is depicted in a photograph captioned "A Christmas dinner serving in the UK; the pigs in blankets are at top right". Interestingly, I clicked through to the original image on Flickr, where the image is titled "The anatomy of an Xmas Lunch with notes ".
If you visit the Flickr version and mouse over the image you'll find that the attached "notes" identify all items on the plate -- including cranberry sauce! Yes, cranberry sauce is "traditional" now, but it wasn't when I was growing up. But I'm not entirely sure when it started making its appearance on the Christmas dinner plate. The seventies at the earliest, I'd say. I grew up in Pittsburgh, and in my family pigs in a blanket were stuffed cabbage.
I grew up in NE Ohio, and folks around there used this meaning too. My New England parents were so confused. I grew up in east-central Illinois and "pigs in a blanket" was a term passed down to me from my grandparents whose grandparents were pioneers. Also, in the little coal mining town I grew up in the population of coal miners and their families were immigrants from Europe Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Germany, Italy.
This term always referred to "stuffed cabbage" or galumpkis in Polish. I'm pretty sure they brought this term with them and I'm pretty sure it was commonly used before breakfast sausage links and pancakes were popular. Know what I mean?
I was always taught by my Dutch grandmother that this was a Dutch thing and that the translation to American pigs in blankets was only sort of representative of the Dutch. I unsurprisingly come up with these in Michigan-based blogs when I try to google it due to the diaspora there. Yes, whenever my mom made pigs in a blanket growing up in Canada for a special dinner treat, it was with hot dogs regular size and Pillsbury crescent dough.
Many are large, but other recipes call for a dish that is small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites. For this reason, they are usually served as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre or are accompanied by other dishes in the 'main course' section of a meal. In the West, especially in the United States and Canada, the bite-sized variety of pig in a blanket is a common hors d'oeuvre served at cocktail parties and is often accompanied by a mustard or aioli dipping sauce.
In the United Kingdom, "pigs in blankets" refers to small sausages usually chipolatas wrapped in bacon. Usually served at Christmas lunch or with roast dinners, pigs in blankets are now considered a traditional part of the Christmas meal. The dough is sometimes homemade, but canned dough is most common. They are somewhat similar to a sausage roll or by extension a baked corn dog.
