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

(Title inspired by another thread - don't actually start one)

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

Fresh dips. Cannot get them fecking ANYWHERE. I was very pleased to get the last box of blood orange San Pellegrino in Tescos however, and the last box of Yorkshire teabags in Aldi #smug

I might fight you for Kitkat Santa’s, the 2 dc and myself are coeliac and haven’t had kitkats in a decade

By chance I found out their Christmas and Easter products are gluten free so ordered a box of 24

Christmas started early when they arrived and I’ve 2 happy teens now

I worked in the food hall of M&S through uni years - Christmas punch ups were not that unusual, especially over the turkeys. I was shocked at first, the rest of the year the clientele was awfully naice

Lettuce.

DD2 is going through a fussy stage (10yo) and will eat lettuce and pretty much anything I put with lettuce.

Ham sandwich - nope. Ham sandwich with lettuce - yum.

Bit worried about the imports this week and the life expectancy of fresh wilty leaves, so have pots hopefully sprouting soon in the kitchen.

Hickory honey ham.

Bless you, that's so sweet but
Hubby did a drive around the small local supermarkets this evening and has come home with the holy grail of 4 medium sized Santa's, so no punch ups needed and I can sleep tonight, I don't even care if my turkey doesn't arrive on Wednesday now I have my Santa's 😂

@LadyJaye

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.

We tried this at the weekend and it was DELICIOUS, good choice of starter LadyJaye

Just realised I forgot to buy crackers (the kind with a crap gift inside) so if you read a story about woman having a proper Verucca Salt tantrum about there being none left in Tesco, that will be me...

I don't think I'd throw a punch for them though.

I’m the most chilled out person you will ever meet,a lot of stresses in life just go over my head
I will however fight to the bitter death for those tea bags (yellow box) that taste like malted milk biscuits
I have 4 boxes in the cupboard and planning on getting some more in the new year

Also the chicken fajita wrap meal deals from Tesco-with Diet Coke and chilli crisps-I’d fight for that-maybe not to the death but I’d put up a fist or two

Tea bags, if it was the last box of Yorkshire I would hurt you!
I am a pacifist until you get between me and my cuppa

I don't think there's anything that would send me violent for, but my DD nearly cried when the whole part of the freezer section doing the various kinds of breaded chicken and frozen potato products had defrosted. They are her primary diet, tbh

Cheese
Peas
Carte noir tassimo latte.

Pigs n Blankets I would take you out for the last packet is it even Christmas without them!

Cheese, chocolate, coffee, red wine, marmite, oranges, peanuts.

I’d get up at 5am for sure. Not sure I’d hit anyone but I’d death stair em.

Ran out of marmite in lockdown, drove me potty.

Inspired to try Red Fox Leicester by PP

AND ROASTING POTATOES AND CHIPOLATAS, obviously.

And I would hit someone for these

Wine

The last bottle of Hellman’s. Hmm that might be outing lol

Oh my goodness, yes.

I think they might have added crack to the basic Marie Rose.

There's no specific product that I'd have a problem going without for a bit. Luckily, DCs eat a reasonable range of foods.

As a counter to the stories of people fighting over things: A product I wanted was once ( pre covid) on a BOGOF but just as I got there, someone took the last two of the flavour I preferred off the shelf. I jokingly said "noooo, a second too late!" with a grin to show I wasn't serious and was expecting a "you snooze, you lose" type response. But she was lovely and gave me one of the best flavour. We then had a discussion to decide what the next best was for our "free" ones.

Addressed to @ScienceSensibility above!

Cinnamon and raisin bagels, and not those crap ready sliced Warburtons ones! Maple and pecan peanut butter from m & s, and at Christmas , Aldi’s Brie de meaux which is THE best Brie in the entire world, Ardennes or Brussels pate and part baked baguettes! Pig in shit if I’ve got all that!

Kokapetl oooo what was it? And what’s the best flavour? Z

There was a legendary fight between two women at M&S over a trifle on a Christmas Eve - there were arrests for trifle assault

Wine. And potatoes.
