This Little Pig sometimes finds itself in the odd role of confidante of people’s food adventures. In a weird twist of events, people will often whisper/slur their deepest and darkest food secrets to This Little Pig at parties over a bottle of champagne. Such an event happened at a party recently, where their wonderful sworn vegetarian, whispered that whilst in Texas, they consumed a whole platter of buffalo wings (“I’ve never tasted anything so good in my life Little Pig!”). Whilst this fine swine has never been to Texas, it feels inclined to think that there must be something extraordinary about these chicken wings to convert a borderline religious vegetarian to the dark side. Thus this piglet has leapt trotter first into the kitchen to try its hands at spicy buffalo wings and has achieved the most glorious results without the use of a deep fryer (albeit a little bit of butter). This Little Pig sat on its couch and repeatedly muttered the words “mind blown,” as it snacked on these beauties..they are seriously phenomenal.
These succulent, juicy and crispy morsels dipped into the creamy blue cheese dipping sauce, would be perfect served whilst watching the footy with a crisp beer and a room full of lads. Easy as walking down the shop to get a pie, these little beauties will create so much joy that no matter what happens on screen everyone will still cry tears of joy (if they have a taste-bud worth listening to). Seriously piglets. This is the good stuff. Oink.
