sausage roll is sausage in pastry and pigs in blankets was sausages in bacon, even asked the wife she says same, and rang my mum to check also... very confusing. not 100% sure what a gratin is

unfortunately, mac and cheese is completely against my regime of over eating on xmas day, and I don't consider it a xmas meal, even for the kids

no pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon, at least over here they are

I thought pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings went without saying, of course there on the menu. I have a family of picky eaters hence the multiple roasts, some eat some I eat the rest :pig:

You can substitute beef suet for the veggie counterpart, but I find beef suet freshly minced tastes best. The above link is I hope from Canadian supplier. I'm from UK so I can get it all from super market. Sent from my E6553 using Discuss Cooking mobile app

piccalilli is always done in preserving jars, the recipe is from around 1940 so not too sure and its a mix it up bung in a jar and forget recipe. its not as sharp as normal piccalilli. our family always called it digestive pickle
