Favourite Christmas grub

[wilma-bride]

OK, so we've had favourite tipples so what about food? What do you have at Christmas that you love and don't generally eat any other time of the year?

For me, it's turkey - and sausages wrapped in bacon - we only ever eat these on Christmas day. Also, After Eight mints. I absolutely love them but we only have them at Christmas. Usually get a couple of boxes, though, so they last until...Boxing Day

I really like all the nibbles that are around this time of year. Also have spiced beef ham fried on Christmas Eve ~ yummy!!!

 

[FizzyPop]

Where do I start

Rib N Saucy Crisps (sainsburys only do them at christmas)
Pigs in blankets
sausage rolls
profiteroles (dont know why I only eat these at christmas)
After eights

Im sure there are more but I cant think of any more at the moment

Turkey with cranberry sauce, the stuffing balls and pigs in blankets. I also love Christmas night tea when we have crackers with loads of cheeses with pickles and the leftovers. Selection box chocolates too

Turkey, Brussels sprouts, Christmas Pudding and all the M&S Party foods I buy for Christmas and Boxing Day nights.

Walkers Sensations Peanuts - hickory flavour shell!

DH has just informed me that he's seen them this year - shame I can't drive to the shops yet. I'll have to sweet talk him!

I also love tradition turkey and trimmings (minus sprouts!)

I Love Christmas food (somehow I don't think you're surprised). I love the Turkey, cranberry sauce, mash, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, sprouts, sprouts and more sprouts (I tend to sit by myself after dinner ) I also like Christmas pudding with brandy sauce all followed by a large tin of Celebrations

We must be the only ones who love sprouts - I can't get enough of them - even like them cold!

I also enjoy the turkey soup I make with the left over turkey after Christmas Day

But not THIS Year -

 

[geordie ric]

Every Xmas morning the first thing my wife eats is a box of Thorntons cappuccino chocolates that she always gets as a present.When you consider that it is normally 6.00am when our dd wakes us up it's not the healthiest star to the day but traditions must be maintained.

 

[brer rabbit 28]

I look forward to marks and spencers marmalade with whisky in it (this is not just marmalade HA HA).We always have it on xmas day for breakfast.
