Aldi has just announced that it will be bringing out a six foot long pig in blanket just in time for Christmas, and better yet it’ll cost you just under a fiver.

The delicious treat will be perfect for any upcoming Christmas parties, or even just for the big day itself, and will be landing in stores on the 4th December.

That means for �4.99, you can officially stop all the arguments about who is going to have the most pigs in blankets on their Xmas dinner, as there is 6.5feet of sausagey goodness to go around for the entire family.

According to Aldi, it’s currently the biggest amount of meat that you can buy for that price in the UK right now.

If you want a taste of those Golden Arches but don’t want it to come with the price tag, Aldi has also released a burger sauce that tastes exactly like a McDonald’s Big Mac.

Coming in at just 79p a bottle, fans are struggling to differentiate between Maccies’ secret recipe and Aldi’s discount offering. Spotted on Facebook’s Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the burger sauce is proving to be a massive hit with foodies.

The post read, “This is 79p from Aldi and it tastes almost exactly like the Big Mac sauce! I wish I knew this when I was pregnant because it was all I ever wanted!”

Other’s piled praise on the sauce and say that they simply can’t get enough. One wrote, “I’ve been using this for months”, while another added, “M&S one tastes exactly like big mac sauce but not as cheap.”

Sadly, someone warned, “Apparently it’s summer stock so will be removed from shelves soon…. stock up if you need.”

It sounds like you should really act now if you want to replicate McDonald’s at home with your own fakeaway.

In other burger-related news, Iceland is the first UK supermarket to release whopping half-pounder burgers. Iceland has stepped up the frozen foods game forever. It’s launched the first-ever supermarket half-pounder burger, and the best part is that it’s just �3 for TWO.

The burger is made with premium cuts, so you know that it’s good quality.

Iceland says the burgers use Aberdeen Angus beef, that ‘is famed for its high degree of marbling, which results in a truly unique taste’.

The supermarket added that the burger is made with a combination of two cuts of beef � brisket and chuck; both of which are known for their tender texture and bold beefy flavour.

In terms of how you should eat it, Iceland recommends topping it with a strong cheddar, crispy bacon, gherkins and your choice of sauce.

If you think you could tackle a double pack on your own, then Iceland reckons you should try their limited edition Big Triple Burger Bun (�0.69, 2 pack).

Just like McDonald’s, Aldi is keeping its burger sauce recipe a closely-guarded secret. Well, I can confirm, it taste’s just as good as every says. Delicious slathered on everything from a vegan burger to a standard beefy behemoth.
