Things you only eat at Christmas, why?

[LittleSwill]

Brandy sauce. Mmmmm. I'd die if it was available to me all year round.

"Eat Me" Dates.

Yes. I love these, but it would never cross my mind to buy some at any other time of the year, assuming you even could.

[GestapoWatch]

Booths Turkey & Cranberry Sausages - thought they do only do them around Christmas

Also stuffing made with similar Sausagemeat...

[clonmult]

Brandy butter.

Put on mince pies in copious quantities. More a case of a hint of mince pie with my brandy butter. Yum!

Bread sauce

[Carl_Spackler]

All Aboard the 4.30 express to the "Food, Drink and Restaurants" Forum.

Peep peep!

[Los Palmas 7]

Oh, and Brandy Snaps with squirty cream inside.



I've probably broken some "we're all dead posh on here and wouldn't dream of eating something so common" PH rule, but I really like them.

[Sixpackpert]

Large donner with chili sauce and sprouts.

Good point.

[drivin_me_nuts]

Duck, Partridge, Woodcock.

All good eating, but seem to be a Xmas thing only

2 pages in and still only one (kebab) reference to eating sprouts!!!
I guess everyone else like me refuses to eat them once a year too...

Brussels sprouts. Horrible bloody things but I get talked in to trying one every christmas just to check I have suddenly developed a taste for satans testicles.

I tend to eat duck every couple of months or so. Had a partridge for the first time a few weeks back, tasty.

I quite like sprouts but they are usually just a Christmas thing as other members of the house hold would protest too much at any other time of year.

I always have a Heinz Treacle Sponge Pudding after dinner instead of Christmas pudding, only time anyone thinks to buy one is Christmas.

pigs in blankets.

why are these not a weekly menu item?! They bloody should be.

They are in my home. I do my sausages with bacon wrapped round them as part of a rather elaborate "fry-up" that I make... though the "pigs in blankets" are actually done in the oven rather than fried.

A tangerine and a selection of nuts.

I am often amazed at things my wife buys at Christmas and never any other time of year. Picallili (or however it's spelt) I love the stuff so why only at Christmas.

They sell it all year round. You could go and buy it yourself.
