  • I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

    Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.

    The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

    The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

    My TV came with a five year warranty - two year manufacturer, two years Costco, and one year from my Costco credit card.

    My washer and dryer got seven. Same deal, but Costco was offering an extra extended warranty plan for free.

    The best part is that they design their warranties to run consecutively instead of concurrently. Unfortunately, Citi got rid of the extended warranty with the Costco credit cards about a year and a half ago.
