O/T Your favourite Christmas food/nibbles

Peppermint candy canes!

I bought 2 boxes 'for Christmas' when they first put all the Christmas stuff out in Tesco... they've all gone and I've made a start on the 2 extra boxes I had to buy on eBay because I couldn't find them anywhere else ?

Christmas time is the only time I eat pate. I used to love pate on digestives..... no wonder I was a fat kid!

We dont have lots of food in at xmas really but i like bags of nuts that i need to crack open...

s'all i can think of at mo....

Ooo pate I forgot about that, CHristmas is the only time I eat it too.

A mackeral pate my Mum always makes at Xmas, a good turkey dinner with lots of BREAD SAUCE (love it) as well as all the other trimmings - even like the Brussels at Xmas though wouldn't touch them at any other time of the year. Mince pies and Stollen (German style Xmas cake). I know they are all pretty traditional things but love em.

I'm very partial to mince pies also, and definitely sausages wrapped in bacon! *Drools*

Also for a sweet treat, the obligatory Quality Street and Roses! So far have managed to stop myself from diving head first into the tins that H2b has bought indoors, but it's only a matter of time!

And tipple of choice on Xmas day has to be champagne ?

Mince pies and mulled wine...mmmm*drool*! I went to the Manchester Christmas market with CBM on Wednesday and had a hog roast butty, would never do that at any other time of year. I enjoyed it so much I'm going back tonight with OH!

ah your little dogs on your avatar are sooo cute!!!

Turkey & salad cream sandwiches

Pork Pie & salad cream

I don't think I've ever had either of these at any other time of year!

Mince pies, Christmas cake, Stollen, my Nan's recipe for red cabbage & apple and cheese & biscuits as I normally only eat them at Christmas!

I cant remember the last time i had salad cream!

Omg where do i start

fav food at xmas is cold turkey, bubble and squeak, chips and pickles, bread with pork dripping ? prawn cocktail........................hmmmmmmmmm

fav nibbles peanuts, roses, cheese straws, those little cheese biscuits in shapes (hearts, diamonds etc) salt and vinegar pringles, bread sticks with garlic and onion dip, all usually saved til xmas.........shortbread..........those little german ginger biscuits with icing on, washed down with a glass of cava.

think thats everything?

Im not very keen on roast dinner so my favourite christmasy food isnt the dinner, i prefer all the trimmings like the cold turkey sandwiches, cheese and biscuits, christmas pudding with custard and brandy butter, the pork pie you get at christmas with cranberrys on the top, we always have a ham joint too and a treacle pudding as my dad hates raisins so wont eat any of the mince pies, christmas cake etc!!

Stilton!

Port! (that's not strictly a nibble though...)

Chocolate!

Panettone!

Stuffing!

Stuffing

Chipolatas (sometimes a little one is a good thing.... [;-)]

Terrys Choc Orange

Lindor chocs

Gravy

Mince Pies

MULLED WINE!!!!

Food I generally only eat at Christmas time:

• mince pies
• walnuts
• goose fat roasted potatoes
• mulled wine

Other food I like to eat at Christmas, but will eat throughout the year too <greedy guzzler icon>

• cheese (all types)
• paté
• smoked salmon

Ooooo roast potatoes in goose fat mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Proper fat straight from the bird too! MIL does roast goose & we're there for Christmas day this year ?

I love yummy vol-u-vonts!!!!! And dips and crisps.....and all the things I shouldnt eat!

My dad has a very special recipe he calls Millionaire's Salad that he always makes only on Christmas Eve ever since I was tiny and has now become a tradition - It's basically a mixture of white cabbage, onion, cucumber, celery, red and green peppers and tomatoes, very finely diced in a special vinegar and oil dressing but is absolutely perfect with gammon and cheeses. I make it now every year now and just the smell alone is completely evocative of Christmas for me. Even if we've been away at Christmas I have to take a tub with me!

I'm really baaa humbug when it comes to Christmas food as I HATE roast dinners and don't like Christmas pud, mince pies, Christmas cake and I don't eat chocolate at all

That said I more than make up for it with cheese a biscuits and I LOVE pigs in blankets, and shortbread and mulled wine and nuts and all the pastry party food ....

Oooooh I'm gonna have to do so much exercise in the NY to get into my dress !

Hehe thanks Donna, yes they are v.cute, but v.v.naughty!! They had me up at 6am this morning, when I came downstairs they had made confetti out of my magazines and eaten a Wii remote, I was not best pleased!

Definitely mince pies, pigs in blankets and marzipan, straight out of the packet! ? so naughty but i can't get enough of the stuff!

Mrs croft2b is not a woman! She doesnt eat chocolate at all!! banish her!

hehehehe..... I wish I didnt eat the damn stuff!

I was waiting for that !! ?

Chocolate tends to bring me migraine hell so thats why I avoid it,

Make up for it ten fold with cheese and nibbles tho!!
