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. 😚

If Tesco I would definitely get some of the Tesco finest mince pies.
Reasonably priced bottle of single malt.
Cadburys mint crisp chocolate.
Terrys chocolate orange.
Stuffing mix.
English mustard - for next time you cook lamb cutlets.
Pipers crisps.
Twinings tea bags.

Oh and a cadburys advent calendar each!

God all that and he's going to Tesco of all places. Send him somewhere good. Or cheap. Tesco is neither.

This! Cadbury's is shit now, anyway.

Tea, picked onions, Marmite

I'd prioritise stuff for a traditional British Christmas dinner. Pigs in blankets. I know meat isn't allowed but I'd smuggle them. And fancy stuffing and gravy. A Christmas pudding.

Rocky road bites and cornflake cakes, jars of salsa, crumpets to freeze, tomato soup, Yorkshire tea, mini cheddars, wholenut cardburys, monster munch, flapjack bars, angel slices, wotsits, squashies, lemon squash!

Is there anything particular to the region you grew up in that you miss?

He'll have to go to B&M or Home Bargains for Wheat Crunchies, don't think you'll get them in Tesco

Ginger beer
Baileys
Marmite
Chilli flakes if Belgium is as spice averse as France
Tea
Your favourite breakfast cereal
Tiger bread (or whichever loaf you miss)
Marmalade
Fever tree mixers

If he can pop to other supermarkets:
Aldi - Jamaican rum mince tarts
M&S - very merry munch

Oh yes marmalade is a good shout!

Jaffa cakes!

Malt loaf
lemon barley squash
scottish whisky
twiglets

Marmite definitely. Marmalade maybe.

Sod Marmite... Vegemite is so much better. 👌💪

I adore both Crabbies ginger beer and ginger wine 😋

Doves farm digestives
Cuckoo gin
Gooseberry jam

Read this and then send him to M&S!

Rose’s lime marmalade
Dark chocolate ginger boarder biscuits
Green bottle ginger and lemongrass cordial (drink with fizzy water)

Tesco has whopping big Cadbury bars for £4 at the moment. Should last a day or two once opened 😁

Marmite, lots of the stuff.
It’s the only thing I take abroad with me.
Definitely not cadburys palmolate - it’s like eating the skins off babybels.

Mince pies
mature cheddar
pg tips
curry pastes or spice tailor packs
sausages and bacon
marmalade
mango chutney and lime pickle

Totally agree, send him to Marks for their Collection Mince Pies and some merry munch.

Pipers crisps

And at the other end of the scale......flaming hot crunchy Wotsits!

Marmalade

All butter shortbread

I’m in Denmark an heading to the UK next week to bring back snacks and will bring back

• Bisto gravy
• Paxo stuffing
• Cadburys
• Variety of crisps
• Vriety of biscuits (biscuits aren’t a thing here!)
• Tea bags (tea SUCKS here!)
• Whatever M&S goodies take my fancy (Def the merry munch!)
• some spice paste pots (like the stock pot size)
• Travel size squash
• Soma packets of spices and seasonings

I would LOVE to bring back peanut butter but it counts as a liquid and I’m not checking a bag

Yorkshire tea bags
