Christmas dinner with all the trimming just isn't complete without some pigs in blankets - and this year they coming to a table near you supersized.

With the news that Aldi will be selling foot-long pigs in blankets this December, Asda have announced they also will be offering shoppers the huge festive delicacy and they will be available to buy from this week.

Asda's Extra Special Giant Pig in Blanket can be cooked straight from frozen, and the supermarket chain promises they will be "the biggest and meatiest on the market", with one pack feeding up to 10 people.

The gigantic sausage, made with 500g of British Red Tractor pork that is encased in 100g of British dry cured streaky bacon, will surely be a hit with the entire family (apart from the vegetarians of course).

The showstopper not only measure a foot long, the meaty dish is also 45mm deep, dwarfing all other Christmas sausages you might be thinking of serving up.

And Asda shoppers won't even have to wait until Christmas to try them as they are due to hit stores nationwide and online at Asda.com from 23 October.
