Vegan Pigs In A Blanket M&s

Okay, friend. Pull up a chair. Grab your coffee—or, let’s be real, your oat milk latte. I need to talk to you about something life-changing.

It’s about M&S Vegan Pigs in Blankets. Yes, you read that right. Vegan. Pigs. In. Blankets.

You’re probably thinking what I thought: “But… why?” Or, “Vegan pigs? That sounds like a sad, philosophy-major joke.”

Hold that thought. Because M&S, bless their British hearts, decided this was a hill worth dying on. And honestly? They won.

The First Bite: A Religious Experience

I’ll be honest. My expectations were low. I’ve eaten vegan sausages that taste like sadness wrapped in cardboard. I’ve chewed through “meat-free” blankets that felt like a damp paper towel.

But these? These are different. The first one I tried was from a friend’s Christmas party table. I didn’t even know they were vegan.

I took a bite. And for a split second—no joke—I forgot they weren’t real. That is the highest compliment a vegan snack can get, isn’t it?

The Anatomy of a Perfect Mini Snack

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.

Great For Parties (And Your Secret Stash)

These little guys are perfect for Christmas. Or New Year’s. Or a random Tuesday. You know why? Because they bake in 15 minutes. That’s it.

Pop them in the oven. Walk away. Come back to tiny, golden deliciousness. They smell so good, your neighbors will knock on your door asking what’s for dinner. No, they won’t. But it feels like they might.

And the best part? You can eat a whole box and not feel like a human oil slick. They’re surprisingly light. Which means you can eat more of them. Math.

Where To Find Them And What To Pay

You’ll find them in the M&S frozen aisle. Or sometimes in the chilled section if you’re lucky. They’re usually around the £3.50 to £4.00 mark. A bit more than regular ones, but your taste buds will thank you.

Don’t bother with the microwave, by the way. The oven is non-negotiable. The texture? The crisp? Worth the extra 7 minutes. I promise.

Who Are These For, Really?

Are you a vegan suffering through another sad, dry mushroom? These are for you. Are you a flexitarian who wants to “eat less meat” but misses the joy of a party snack? These are for you.

Are you a total carnivore who just wants a truly excellent, crispy, savory bite? Also for you. Don’t let the word “vegan” scare you off. It’s a label. What’s inside is pure, unadulterated taste.

I recently brought a box to a friend’s house. She’s a chef. She said, and I quote, “This is better than the real thing.” She then ate six. I let her.

The Verdict: Buy Them. No, Seriously.

I’m not getting paid to say this. I’m just a person who loves snacks. And M&S Vegan Pigs in Blankets are a snack that loves you back.

They’re proof that plant-based food can be fun. That you don’t have to sacrifice indulgence for ethics. Or for taste. Or for the sheer joy of a buttery, flaky blanket.

So, next time you’re at M&S, grab a box. Or two. Because one box is never enough. Trust me. I’ve done the research.

And if you try them? Send me a message. I want to hear your first-bite story. Because honestly, I’m still not over mine. It was that good.

Alright, coffee’s cold. Go get yourself some pigs in blankets. You’ve earned it.
