It appears they are not doing their white chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees this year. Only the stupid salted caramel and milk chocolate ones.

They were the entire point of December.

They have RUINED my Christmas Xmas Angry

blue I’ve bought marzipan fruits in Lidl. No idea if they’re nice as marzipan is abomination but hopefully mil will like them

I don't like anyone else who likes bread sauce - all the more for meeeeee!

Perhaps we should start a support group

MayFayner · 04/12/2017 20:35

I'm pretty sure there's Mingley-type things in Lidl.

Greyboot · 04/12/2017 20:36

Waited all year for these delicious offerings... have they returned? NO!

Sainsburys can join Iceland as far as I’m concerned Angry

I made two Christmas cakes and Figgy pudding. I’ve done my bit I expect Iceland to do theirs. And all the other supermarkets for that matter.

I’m so vexed and traumatised by this I might not be able to muster up the energy to start the annual trifle arguement thread. I may as well give up on Christmas altogether.

Would a star shaped pavlova cheer you up?

DS1 will never forgive M&S for discontinuing their Christmas Passion Fruit Mousse two years ago. Christmas will never be the same apparently!

user1497997754 · 04/12/2017 20:42

What is this love of salted caramel it is everywhere...I can't stand it

SemolinaSilkpaws · 04/12/2017 20:43

M&S can bring back those individual pork and pickle pies they used to make as well, they were lovely.

There used to be a wonderful icecream in the 1960s from Iceland, completely coated in dark chocolate, came in orange and peppermint. Called chocolate bombs.

Can we have a subthread for bread sauce? I'm the old fashioned stuff cloves in onion halves, add milk, bay leaves, carrots, bring to to boil then leave for 45 mins, add breadcrumbs, nutmeg and cream...

But some people say brioche? Not sure about that...

MrsJayy · 04/12/2017 20:44

Pound stretchers had marzipan fruits i saw them today

Oi, Twitter, who says you and your bread sauce are too good to stay on my thread, eh?

TwitterQueen1 · 04/12/2017 20:46

oh c'mon OP. A trifling thread is essential.... Stop slacking! I give you toasted flaked almonds, no custard, a tonne of cream, a wallop of Harveys BC, raspberry jam....

TheWhyteRoseShallRiseAgain · 04/12/2017 20:48

unnoticed neither will I!
Tesco however shall never ever be forgiven for the Cappuccino cake they discontinued years and years ago I loved it and can’t recreate it no matter how I try

TwitterQueen1 · 04/12/2017 20:48

No no OP. Not too good at all. I am relying on you to pave the way. I am in awe of your Christmassyness.

TwitterQueen1 · 04/12/2017 20:49

Too many esses. Christmasyness.... or Christmasiness...

Christinayangstwistedsista · 04/12/2017 20:51

Have you tried writing to Peter Andre, I believe he has some contacts at Iceland?

RainbowDashed · 04/12/2017 20:55

Nope, the watermelon ice lollies were rank. The little chocolatey seeds didn't work at all with the rest of it. Ugh.

gillybeanz · 04/12/2017 20:58

YABU to eat let alone buy any of the shite they sell there.
