Any Christmas food you don't like?

It's another vote for brussel sprouts from me - totally gross.

Apart from that I love it all.

My grandmother stockpiled sugar too!

Brussels Sprouts - poooey! as Zach would say!! And also Yule log - too sickly

Olaf, our wedding cakes are exactly the same as Christmas Cakes, but usually a couple of tiers which are not stacked close together like an American one - instead they usually have little legs holding the tiers up.

Thanks Bev. We're starting to make them more like that. Mine had tiers in it, but it was white sponge cake with raspberry filling. Like I said, the royal icing is becoming more popular over here. I'm not much a "sweets person" so I don't really like it. DH & DS are an entirely different story though.

Yes, I did rather overdo the alcohol in my Xmas cake this year so for once I think I might actually eat some Not a huge fruit cake lover, so I make a chocolate yule log as well.

My loathe at Xmas is gherkins - ooh, and bread sauce. Heave.

I know they're not just for Xmas, but they always seem to be staring at me on the Xmas tables . . . but as DD loves both it's not a problem

Another vote for sprouts they are disguisting - I wonder if they could be banned

Apart from that I tend to eat anything at Christmas, starting on Christmas morning with a selection box and not stopping until I go back to work in January!!! I think it is the fact that there are always little bowls of peanuts, crisps, nibbles and Roses appearing all the time, and I justify it by saying well it's Christmas


Helen getting fat just typing this!!!

Hmmm, well I like most anything that's edible, however ....

Can't bear Christmas cake - probably due to the fact I don't like marzipan and cherries!

I'm with you on the gherkins Annie - yuk yuk!!

And I don't like chocolates at all (Roses/Quality Street/Black Magic type ones) or chestnuts (either the nuts or the stuffing!).

But I love Brussel Sprouts!!

I looooove marzipan! So much so that I've had to stop making my own Christmas cake as I have more than once eaten all of th marzipan before I got in on the cake. (In fact one year I ate the replacement marzipan as well.) I don't mean I munch my way through it all in one go, but just take a pinch at it each time I go into the kitchen.

I now buy a ready iced cake to remove temptation. This year I've found it really difficult to buy a royal iced cake as they all seem to have soft icing on, which I don't really like. I eventually got one from M&S - at a price.

I like everything - probably why I will put on far too much weight
