Food You Only Get At Christmas

[Hamburger Pimp]

The register of festive fare. The stuff you only buy in your pre-chrizzo "big shop". Yes, of course the turkey, the cranberry and the chipolatas, but what about the trimmings.

Nuts - who buys nuts, other than bags of peanuts, at any other time? Neebody, that's who.

Ritz or Tuc crackers. Got to get a box of them bad boys.

Dates. Dates? wtf?

Pickled Onions. That'll be a big masseeve jar of pickles as well.

Matchmakers. Someone will always get you a box of matchmakers. It's a law of nature.

Tangerines/Satsumas/Clementines/Mandarins. Who knows which is which? Who cares.

Selection boxes. The only time you ever eat a "Turkish Delight" or "Fudge"bar.

Parsnip. Sexually-confused vegetable that doesn't know if it wants to be a carrot or a turnip. Weirdo.

Odd cheeses. From those variety packs/cheeseboard selections you get. There's always a stinking thing wrapped in gold foil that you eat for a laugh when you're whacked off your gourd on snowballs and bottled french lager. Not recommended.

Any more?

its not a food, but there used to be quite alot of christmas real ales, the ones you thought about havin before deciding against it

[Denzel]

Biarritz chocolates - can you still get them?

Turkey - who in their right mind eats turkey any other time of year? It's as dry as sticks.

Port - gout in a bottle.

Mulled wine - it's against nature.

Geet big tins of chocolates - just buy a couple of Dairy Milk bars - more choccy, less cash.

Advocaat - howay man, it's made out of eggs.

[Guest missvic]

i've a fridge full of battered cheeses and vegetarian-pastry-affairs if anyone cares to come round for a nibble?

[Hamburger Pimp]

Aye aye!

[Chianti]

chestnut puree!

Just got me a bottle of that bad boy from the good people at Netto's. Man alive, that's some tasty drinking. It's like custard with a shot of booze in.

What, I ask you, is there not to like about that?

[Hamburger Pimp]

Further to the Advocaat theme, I just purchased some Co-op lemonade (51p for 2 litres, from, er, the Co-op) and am now drinking me down some Snowball.

By jingo, why wasn't I told earlier how good dem Snowballs taste? Man alive, they is good.

No wonder the craze of Snowballing seems to be sweeping the nation.

Must admit Snowballs are canny, a regular tipple at twisty !*!@# 's house when lager/wine has run out. Well it's either that or !*!@# Dooley's.

For those who don't know, "Twisty !*!@# " is Denzel's girlfriend. They love each other very much.
