What lovely delights do I want Dh to bring back from England for Xmas?

[MissAmbrosia]

He's driving over on Wed. I am writing a list. Xmas crackers, cream crackers/biscuits for cheese, Wheat Crunchies, naice stuffing....It's likely to be the big Tesco he will go to.

No meat or dairy allowed in these post Brexshit years unfortunately, though last time we went I smuggled a crackling pork joint and some scotch eggs in my case. 😚

Where do you live?

Belgium

Shortbread - I love shortbread so much

Tunnocks tea cakes.

Mince pies, Branston Pickle, chocolate digestives, Cadburys/Galaxy, crumpets, HP, chocolate orange, Marmite…

Any particular sweets or crisps?

No dairy? Oops. I brought back quite a few Christmas chocolate treats when I was there in October 🫣

Choc should be OK - it's the fresh stuff that is not allowed. Belgium does not consider Cadbury's worth of sale :)

I still have an Xmas pudding from last year which I forgot about.

Mincemeat

We popped to Belgium and back at the weekend. No one checked our car in either crossing...

All the Cadbury. Fizzy pop as in proper old school cherryade, limeade and orangeade.

Mince pies
Chocolate oranges
Christmas crackers

Horseradish sauce
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
Birds custard powder
Sherry

And above all
M A R M I T E. !!!

A whole takeaway curry, frozen and in a cold box for his first night back. Vegan if you’re feeling anxious about the new rules, meat if you’re feeling brave and can hide the cold box under some blankets.

Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer, monster munch crisps and galaxy minstrels.

Have now totally outed myself to anyone who knew me when I lived in France 😂

Giant wotsits!

Send him down the exotic aisle
Rubicon mango juice
Bombay mix

It was my first thought as well.

Cranberry sauce?

My DSus would be after the Ferrero Rocher.

Who'd want Cadbury's if they lived in Belgium!

Tea. Mince pies.

i usually flaunt the rules and bring a pork pie and a pack of decent bacon back 😳

Christmas cake?

Suet. Then you can make proper mincemeat 😋

Send him to Marks or Waitrose. He'd find nice stuff there.

M&S merry munch

OP lives in Belgium! Best chocolate in the world, taking Cadbury over to Belgium should be a crime.
