Christmas Food Treats

[Paul.M]

Certain foods/treats are only available on the run up to Christmas. Things that we dont normally buy in our weekly shop, what stuff do you like to eat?

I'm tucking into a Stan pie (large pork pie) with some Branston pickle. Only seem to buy one at Xmas time although they are available all year round?

Glenfidich, don't have that all year round either.

I know available all year round, but we only eat at Christmas. Sprouts, love them, could eat a plate of them, not sure why we only have at Christmas.

That's when they're harvested in the UK and neighbouring countries.

Lol, I meant not sure why we (as in me and wife) only buy them at Christmas, pretty sure they are available at other times but we never bother even though we both like them.

We buy them when they're available but only the button (small) ones as we find they taste the nicest, we even have them with a curry as it seems to compliment the dish.

Painttone from Lidl. Sort of a light fluffy fruitcake. Lovely!

For me it's all about Boxing day breakfast in bed which consists of a bottle of baileys and a box of thorntons continental choccies
