The eighties weren’t kind to comfort food. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but about the same time as when I started dating girls pigs in a blanket went out of style. Maybe it was the girls I was chasing, but cocktail party food got fancy. Instead of chips and dip, pigs in a blanket, and chopped liver we were getting strawberries the size of tennis balls, pâté and salty fish eggs. That was never my style. Rumor has it that comfort food is making a comeback. So why not throw a party and serve up these pigs in a blanket. Your guests may not accuse you of being chic, but they’ll devour these little piggies.
