Let’s break it down. The “pig” part is a mini sausage made from pea protein. It’s seasoned perfectly. Savory. A little smoky. It doesn’t crumble into dust like some imposters do.
The “blanket” is the real star. It’s a light, airy puff pastry. Golden. Flaky. Buttery—even though there’s zero butter in it. M&S must have made a deal with some pastry-wizard fairy.
And here’s the kicker: they come in a cute little box. Perfect for a party. Or just for yourself on a Tuesday night. No judgment.

But Are They As Good As The Real Thing?
Look, I’m not going to lie to you. If you’re a die-hard, bacon-loving carnivore, you might raise an eyebrow. They don’t taste exactly like pork. They taste like… better? That sounds like hype, but hear me out.
The texture is tender, not chewy. The pastry is lighter. And there’s no greasy aftertaste. You know that 3 AM regret after regular pigs in blankets? Gone.
I once served them to a table of non-vegans. They devoured the entire tray before I could get one for myself. That’s a miracle.
