Odd wanky Christmas food

[Jellycatspyjamas]

I’m finishing off my online food order and think I might have found the oddest Christmas food - sticky toffee cheddar cheese. I can’t even imagine what it tastes like. Sadly I’m too late to order it.

Any other odd food combinations out there that I’ve missed hiding from the shops this year!

lol

Well no because I dont really drink but now its making me want to be up for the challenge!

I've seen parsnip tarte tatin on offer at some trendy posh restaurant menus this season.
It just sounds awful to me! Just because you can does not mean you should. 🤢

Came here to say that, I RT want one to try.
I have never had bread sauce

Golly I miss Booths, always used to shop there on our hols

A few years ago DH brought home some after eight cheese...it was fucking grim. He tried to pretend it wasn't but after a few attempts even he admitted defeat!

I've had a pumpkin daiquiri. That was lush

It's actually wensleydale with fudge, not cheddar. But there is a cheddar with truffle. I've bought both. I don't really get the outrage, it's not as if they stop selling normal cheese and the only option is the flavoured ones. If you don't like it...don't buy it, it's not a complicated concept!

If nobody ever tried making anything new we'd still be eating potatoes and lard every day
....oh wait, actually potatoes aren't native to the UK either.

Nigella's pineapple and ham Brussels sprouts........absolutely disgusting. This isn't the 1970s Nigella.

We make that (chef husband) it's amazing. Honeyd parsnips. Delicious

After Eight cheese sounds hideous. Ditto Parma Violet cheese. And I bloody love most cheese!

A quirky little deli near me is selling Christmas Cake Cheese, I've got my order in :-)

Really? I think you're taking advantage of my naïve and delicate nature. What is this vegetable and alcohol drinking phenomenon that I have never heard of?

Are you all drinking some kind of pumpkin potcheen these days combined with milk sack? Should I come back to England forthwith? Does my country need me?

@Brefugee I guess if hubby is a chef! I'm not mad on the apple version even so I guess I'm not it's ideal customer.aube I should try it. 😄

I love cheese. The only variety I'm not keen on is Brie, unless it's a really good one. But we often have some in anyway, because my DH likes it. He puts up with my Roquefort and Harrogate Blue whiffing out the fridge, so he can have his Brie. My favourite is probably Wensleydale, but I also love Cheshire, Snowdonia cheese (especially Red Storm and Black Bomber) Stilton, and Coverdale (a Yorkshire cheese) Reiver (a Borders variety and any Cheddar if it's good. TBH, if there was a religion devoted to cheese, I'd sign up 😋

Sadly it's too late to pop into our local Booths to check this out. I hope they've got some left tomorrow as I expect they'll be a run on it, with panic buying!!

See that I’d go for, fruit cake and cheese is a good combination.

I remember chocolate lemons here. In the 70s/80s.

The abomination that is winter berries & prosecco CRISPS. Shame on you M&S!

@DemonicCaveMaggot that cheese is amazing! Try it with some chocolate buttons from the fridge, it is an amazing pairing and I am not even a chocolate lover.

Sugared almonds are lovely but I associate them with weddings not Christmas.
Never have cauliflower cheese in Christmas dinner. For me it’s nice with roast beef.
Cjristmas dinner for me: turkey, stuffing g, cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, roasted parsnips, Brussels sprouts, spiced red cabbage and gravy and bread sauce.

The pigs in blankets bistro gravy granules.

Totally disgusting watery chemical tasting goo. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Agree. Last year at a baby shower the host served a goats cheese with papaya and it was that delicious I went and bought two logs of it for Christmas. Think I ate a full one in one sitting

My cousin's ex was a pioneer of strange cheeses back in the 90's. The family were big dairy farmers and yes, they supplied to Booths!
We had fruitcake cheese, Branston Pickle cheese, all kinds of cheese for free. I don't know whether they actually made the cheese or were processors or handlers or what the arrangement was really. Anyway, she split up with him eventually so the mystery will persist and I was too young to know the ins and outs of cheese mashing with fruit cake.

Bread sauce looks absolutely rank. Being Irish it’s not something that’s served here but even if it was I’d be giving it a swerve. I remember watching delia at Christmas and her making it and it’s basically hot soggy bread. Can’t imagine what it’s supposed to add to the plate. I will also say I can’t abide bread pudding. Again soggy bread has no place in my life

We had some chocolate covered chilli tortillas from M&S. Bit soggy, very odd, won't be going there again.
