Let's say Christmas eve until the 27th.

You have 5 foods only and as much of them as you want. What are your 5 foods?

(the temptation to mainline the stuff without gaining weight, rotting my teeth etc. would be irresistible),

BiddyPop · 21/12/2021 12:59

Turkey with its stuffing
Cheese board (hence I get the variety of 1 thing and the crackers on the board)
Leonidas orangettes
Fresh fruit salad
M&S Salt and pepper flavoured crisps in the wheel and tube and flat square shapes

I assume I have a full range of drinks options available, so fresh OJ, proper coffee (that I can make into French later in the day), red and white wine, sparkling water and elderflower cordial, G&T, amaretto, port, tea, hot choc, etc.....I think that would be harder to cull...

BiddyPop · 21/12/2021 13:00

Sorry, my cheeseboard also has crusty bread on it too

Boogaloony · 21/12/2021 13:01

Prawn cocktail
Pigs in blankets
Sausage stuffing balls wrapped in bacon
Home made cinnamon rolls.
Gravy

That's extremely difficult to work out though and me and my kids have most spent twenty minutes discussing it.

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 21/12/2021 13:01

Well now...if a cheeseboard is a food then I’ll be able to have waaaaaay more options than I listed....
