What food would you start a punch up in the supermarket over?

What is so essential you couldn't get through Christmas without? And how far would you go to ensure you got it?

Not Christmas but in general.

Bacon brunch. My kids love it and there is none to be had in the two Sainsbury's I have tried.

Why has nobody yet said wine

I buy mine in bulk from Makro, to ensure that I never run out 😂

Thank you self employed DB for getting me a card

Not quite the question but I cried when my sister said as she wasn't expecting to host me for Christmas (I'm in a support bubble with her) that she hasn't got Christmas food in so we'd be having things like pizza.

She has now been to a supermarket and I plan to get some stuff on my way too.

I'd probably fight over a cooked ham on the bone.

Red Leicester cheese. There'd be a standoff in the dairy aisle if anyone else had got the last block.

Sorry to be obvious... but turkey. I know all the other bits are important, but we've usually got enough stuff in the house to cobble together the rest of the Christmas lunch in one way or another!

Oh and champagne. I don't drink much these days, but I'd be sad not to have a couple of glasses of fizz on Christmas Day.

KP Cheese Footballs. I buy them in bulk around the festive season!

Last year I got the last bottle of stones ginger wine in Waitrose ....

pigs in blankets and those prawn tempura canapés things.

As an add on to my previous post I would actually start a punch up over a Lindt chocolate Santa, had one on my home delivery, for my afore mentioned asd sons stocking, he has one every yr, it's now out of stock, can't get one on Amazon, I'm in tier4 so all shops bar supermarkets shut, I've asked him (he's 17) if it matters and yes it does as it's routine, I'm now gonna have to go to all local supermarkets tomorrow to try and find one in the middle of a an apocalypse cause everyone is panic buying, hubby tried today but 1 queue was an 1 and 1/2 just to get in 😩

Good Cheese and Good coffee.

Cheese, all of the cheese.

I once saw someone cry over the last coleslaw being snatched from under her nose!

Frozen peas, I cant be without them, must go through a kg every week or 2.

@Anniecott the Lindt figures do seem to have suddenly gone out of stock everywhere. I kept meaning to buy two of the bigger sized bears for the DC, now they've disappeared. Managed to find the medium sized ones in WHSmith on a 3 for 2 today.

I also spent way too long today looking for Twiglets (but didn't wrestle anyone to get them).

Hopefully she made her own instead, realised how easy it is to make, and never wasted her money on that slimy, over-sweet shop-bought stuff again.

Another one for wine here

Waitrose are doing a Heston Bloody Mary prawn cocktail thing ATM and I have based my starter around it.

I'm a relatively competent cook and could probably work it out, but I'm also lazy, so if they're all out on Xmas Eve, I will get THE RAGE.

@CisMyArse

My gentle, pacifist daughter would probably put you in a headlock for a jar of Nutella

My gentle, shy daughter would do the same!

Last bottle of ketchup

Sacla green pesto. No doubt at all.

Lindt chocolate 40g bars.
Grilled artichoke
Cheddar & brie .

@Lonelycrab

Cucumber for my ds; he’s autistic and will not eat much else that’s green.

And sour cream and chive spread for me- it goes with practically anything 😋

What is sour cream and chive spread?

Chocolate cheese cake.

@Anniecott does it have to be a Santa? I have a bear I can send you? Mine won’t mind. X

What is sour cream and chive spread?

It’s sour cream and chives. Surprisingly
