Every social gathering you attend will offer different food and drink options. One finger-food favorite is the pig in a blanket; it's a time-tested classic. Whether the hors d'oeuvres selection is on the higher end or the lower, frozen mozzarella stick-side of things, you'll likely run into some variation on the blanketed pig, if you will.
One restaurant recognized the popularity of pigs in a blanket and took it to the next level. Let's take a deep(-fried) dive into why this deep-fried pig in a blanket is breaking the internet.
Penny Hill Fisheries is what the British call a chippy. That is to say, this restaurant serves up fish and chips. Located in Hunslet, Leeds, Penny Hill Fisheries is run by Matthew Wilson-Hirst. The 28-year-old chippy owner isn't afraid of having a little fun, and his most recent experiment is simply blowing up.
Wilson-Hirst has put together 12-inch long pigs in a blanket. That's right, they're an entire foot long. The 12-inch long snack, if we can call it that, is the longest rendition of pigs in a blanket in the entire United Kingdom.
