Two metre long pig in blanket set to go on sale at Aldi - the longest in the UK

Forget the boring turkey and overrated Yorkshire puddings, we all know the real star of the show when it comes to Christmas dinner is the pigs in blankets.

And things just got ten times better for pork fans, as Aldi has just announced that this year, they'll be selling a giant, two-metre long pig in blanket for the big day.

Even better... it will only set you back £4.99.

That means for five single pounds, you can get your hands on 6.5 feet of succulent sausage wrapped in crispy streaky bacon, with no festive fights over who deserves the last one.

Sadly, you'll have to wait a long time to get your hands on it, as the novelty sausage won't actually hit Aldi stores until the 5th December.

According to Aldi, the hefty piece of meat is the longest in the UK, measuring in at a whopping six foot five – the height of a basketball player.

But Aldi aren't the only ones supersizing their pigs in blankets this year, with Lidl having announced that their 2019 Christmas offerings will include a yard long pigs in blanket - half the size of Aldi's - as well as a 1.2kg 'Feast in blanket', which is essentially an entire Christmas dinner (including sprouts), wrapped up in bacon. De-lish.

Despite its bargain £5 price tag, Aldi has assured us that all the meat involved in the two metre long pig in blanket is fully Red Tractor approved, meaning it's all traceable, safe and farmed with care.
