to think what is the point of pannetone, and other POINTLESS Christmas foods which we are conned into buying

[GetOrfMoiLand]

What is it for.

You are just conned into buying great big pretty boxes of boring dry fruit bread.

Tell me anyone if you actually eat all your pannetone.

Ditto wierdo cheeses (rhurbarb stilton for example) and 4-packs of dip.

lemon flavoured cross-shaped panettone is something else. Never seen one of those

My dh has been saying this for weeks. I just don't buy it and don't eat it and don't think about it but dh will join your, 'Pannetone, schmanattone!' club.

Don't get me started on fucking stollen - dry and overly sweet.

it's "n" "tt" "n"

I'm googling for a cross shaped lemon flavoured panettone. Your dh would like one of those

considering I've spelt it myself in about 3 different ways on the thread already...

or was it just a cross cut into the top?

All the fallow deer living 'wild', in the Cotswolds are descendants of the fallow deer that escaped from a local deer park in the very cold winter of 1963. The snow drifted up to the 8 ft walls and the deer just walked over and out. So I am slightly inclined to believe the refugees from private zoos theory.

Yuk to panettone. Yum to Wensleydale & cranberry cheese.

Pannetone is a fruitcake. For which you are meant to feel incredibly grateful. And for which you are charged a King's ransom.

Hmm - panettone toast I would have to try before I judged. The untoasted version might as well be toast anyway it's so dry and powdery.

Am shocked at people dunking it in prosecco. Prosecco is gorgeous but it would struggle to maintain its appeal when awash with panettone crumbs in a sea-monkey stylee.

Pannetone bread and butter pudding is absolutely bloody lovely.

leave the cheeses alone. Wierdo my arse.

Rubob makes a very nice cheese

I think people who do not like cheeses that are a little bit different have something wrong with them.

I like your nick though lol

The fallow deer post belongs to the Puma thread.

I made a special trip to Lidl for panettone today and they didn't bloody have any! I consoled myself with a bag of mini stollen and a poinsettia.

Panettone is looooovely. I'm making a bread and butter pudding with it for Boxing Day pud.

I agree with weirdo cheeses though. DP loves all that fruity shite. I'm sticking to stilton.

shame really liked the fallow deer in amongst the Christmas cons

Colomba - it's an Easter panettone apparently.

what's with this whole panettone bread and butter pudding thing? When did everyone start making those? I missed this development.

I have ordered a large pork pie from our local butchers with a pork,stilton and cranberry filling

Borntofolk - how do you eat your poinsettia? Toasted, or in a pudding?

picture

it's a dove

I realise that now I googled too. But it doesn't look that much like a dove and it is vaguely cross-shaped.

i love it but maqke my own guess all those yeras with italian xdp have their uses

it doesn't look much like a dove at all really, does it? Lol

Toasted, with a nice cup of tea!
