Which foods do you eat at Christmas which you never have any other time of the year?

[RedPandaWanda]

Even if they are readily available?
Ours are those fluorescent, bright red cocktail cherries. I’ve had them every Christmas since childhood and it never crosses my mind to purchase them any other time of the year even though I am addicted to them.

Cheese. Im pretty intolerant/allergic and then spend most of Jan with a headache and a snotty nose. I love it

Quality Street. I've just cracked open the tin for the first time this year (after buying it about 6 weeks ago - I'll go polish my self-restraint halo!). Tastes like Christmas!

Stollen
Lebkuchen

Baileys, open it, have one, come March its chucked out
Ditto flavoured tonic water , it changes colour after 6 months
We think we'll really enjoy them but they get forgotten about

Baileys
Brie
Salted peanuts
Chutney

Pate, smoked salmon, pigs in blankets (although not available ready made easy to make yourself), my weight in chocolate.

Mince pies
Lebkuchen
Christmas Pud
Stollen

(Although the Christmas period starts in November)

Roast turkey/roast goose. Marmalade or otherwise glazed ham. Pigs in blankets. Bailey’s.

That’s about it, I think.

Mince pies
Terry's chocolate orange

Choc Yule log

Oh, and panettone/Pandoro.

Pickled red onion, love it with cheese at Christmas but not at any other time of the year!
