Pigs-in-a-Blanket Update: Part 2
So I went to a holiday party last night and got a few great tips from it – I’ll go into those next week, but I had to first write about the pigs-in-a-blanket situation – I’m so sorry to go on and on about this, but I just can’t help myself. I feel very passionate about it.
Anyway, I spoke with a friend as soon as I got there and she told me that there were waiters with trays of pigs-in-a-blanket. She had read my initial post.
I asked a few waiters to bring them over – and they never did. I finally went over to the kitchen – the party started at 6 and this was about 7:30 – and was told they were out of them. There were none left in the building. The party – it was only hors d’oeurves and drinks – was from 6-10pm! How do you run out of anything after a little more than an hour?
One guy told me he tried to bring them over to me, but other guests ate them as he was making his way across the room. Unbelievable. And I don’t know what mustard they served, so I can’t tell you if they followed the rule of deli – not fancy – mustard.
Moral of the story: Make sure you have enough pigs-in-a-blanket to go around.
And by the way, they couldn’t even give those mini crab cakes away. They would have been better off just passing around tray after tray of , that’s right… pigs-in-a-blanket!
Anne- my wife sends me the link to your blog, and I must admit, you're hilarious! I'm buying a lot of pigs-n-a-blanket for our holiday party so we don't run into any problems.
Anne -
You are right on the money with this!!!
Every party I have ever been to always runs out of pigs-n-a-blanket. It is most annoying when they run out of them so quickly. I make sure to always have plenty for my guests!!!
Anne, I read your blog regularly and nothing has drawn me in more than the pigs-in-a-blanket saga! it's just so funny, now I'm wating to read "update part 3" lol.
This is perhaps my most favorite blog post ever, and not just of yours. It is just too funny, and an all too relatable scenario.
I love pigs-in-a-blanket, have since I was a kid, and I have never, ever, nor has anyone in my family, ever RUINED them with mustard. You can put a little cheese in them, but other than that the blanketed pig must stay condiment free!
Cheese! Cheese on a pig-in-a-blanket?! Ewwwww. I'm sticking to the mustard, deli mustard. Sorry Angel, that's definitely something I don't think I'll be trying. But is it like a spray on cheese or something you slice and melt on top?
