Percy Pigs

I have just bought some "percy pigs" in Migros - they aren't called that but they sure look, feel and I think taste the same as the good old M&S ones.... Thats one more thing I can stop my son asking people to bring over

Re: Percy Pigs

I love percy pigs!! They always look quite tempting hanging there at the M&S checkout on their lonesome. Did you know they are free of additives, colourings and flavourings? This is actually true!

Once you start eating them you can't stop....they should come with a warning sign! ;0)

I never let my son have such sweets.


I've usually finished the bag by the time he gets his hands on it...

Re: Percy Pigs

The migros ones are Ohne künstliche farbstoffe & sans colorants artificiels - they are in a bag headed Lov's - they do the pig and friends and the baby ones too

Hi Mrshunkydorey

Please read the packet first as i don't want to cause your little boy to be sick. I might be wrong and it might turn out that Percy Pigs contain other ingredients, flavourings etc I'm pretty sure they are free of all flavourings and additives though....just like The Natural Confectionary sweets.

Re: Percy Pigs

thanks for the tip...
i made another discovery this weekend, but don't know if it would interest anyone...
in south africa we used to have tasty wheat (cooked porridge) for breakfast with golden syrup and i've been importing it through mules as well - i found this weekend that you can buy it from the flour section as wiezengriess - semolina flour - works like a charm!!!
my son was in breakfast heaven and now i can finally stop asking stupid favours!

Re: Percy Pigs

Are they called Percy Pigs here as well? My husband is going to jump in the migros on his way home and buy some, but he needs the German name.
