How hard is it to wrap a bit of bacon around a sausage?
A lot of these things are simply a money making excuse. I am thinking of chilled jacket potatoes ( just put a potato in the oven or microwave) for example.

The BBC is running a story about Christmas meal treats being in short supply due to lack of seasonal workers.
The example they give is of "pigs in blankets" which are labour intensive as the bacon has to be wrapped round the sausage by hand.
Do you agree that it is time that we oldies were hired to train the younger generations how to actually prepare their own food?
