I must be a glutton for punishment because, despite the consistently rude and unprofessional staff at this chichi gourmet take-out, I can’t stop coming back to Mitchel London for these extremely pricey pigs in blankets. At $1.50 a piece, perhaps the fancier sounding name of “piglets in puff pastry blankets” somehow justifies the Upper East Side price point. Although I have many gripes, the bottom line is that they are delicious, and there seem to be many other masochists out there who will come back withstanding all humiliation just to grab a piglet or two.
