Horses in Blankets

This might sound strange to my friends abroad, but one of my favourite part of the Christmas dinner is "Pigs in Blankets", which is a sausages wrapped in bacon and cooked with the Turkey or Chicken.

So much so that If I had to choose only one thing from the plate it would be those. Now what could be bigger than pigs in blankets, it has to be "Horses in Blankets". Now I've never tried horse meat, well not knowingly, as per the scandal of 2013 when food was advertised as containing beef but found to be Old Dobbin. My Mother told stories of eating horse during the war, I wonder if you got a lucky horse shoe at the same time.

There is one thing for certain, this horse was well wrapped up for a day in the fields and looked quite comfortable, I couldn't imagine eating any part of it even if it was made into an extra large sausage and wrapped in lashings of bacon.

Is my imagination getting carried away again, anyway view with the dark surround if you have time.
Well isn't that cozy
