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

Where does rainbow trifle fit into the annual trifle bunfight?

Dontsayyouloveme · 04/12/2017 22:16

*greyboot what have you done to me? I will now trawl the entire Northwest visiting every Sainsburys searching for those beezers! They look orgasmic Xmas Hmm

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 04/12/2017 22:16

Obviously, I’m not advocating bunfight img with trifle. That would be very messy.

Just to calm everyone the six jar pates are back in Lidl. And GF chocolate raspberry and passion fruit frozen things in Morrison's are lovely. More especially lovely as the DCs don't like them. More dangerous are the GF Lidl Macarons as DCs do like them so need to be hidden under the frozen veg. Can you tell I'm a teacher? Positivity all the way, except when it comes to hiding nice things from my own Dcs

Newlove the crunchy texture of the McDonalds fruit pies suggest to me that they might fry them?

Ohyesiam · 04/12/2017 22:23

honey, jelly in a trifle is a NURSERY trifle.
So if you are only planning to serve it to 2 year olds it should be quite, er, acceptable.

They do, but I have never been able to replicate the bubbly lovliness...

gingergenius · 04/12/2017 22:24

RAINBOW TRIFLE!!!!! YES YES YES!! @HoneyDragon

gingergenius · 04/12/2017 22:33

Let's all belt our inner Mariah!

I-I-I don't want a lot for Christmas
Just chocolate strawberry Christmas trees,

I don't care about the prawn ring
Or the mince pies laced with cream
I want those lollies for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come trueeeeee

Oh Iceland....

All I want for Christmas
Is you........

I was going to suggest that Sir Bob of Geldof might be interested, but quicker minds have beaten me to it.

Thorntons used to make chocolate toffee. Not ordinary toffee covered in chocolate - actual chocolate flavoured fudge. It was the most delicious thing ever, and the bastards haven’t made it for years.

If they made it again, I would buy and consume my own (not inconsiderable) bodyweight in it, and die —sticky— happy.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 04/12/2017 22:48

And bastarding Apple have clearly done Something Dreadful to my iPad keyboard in the latest update, so I can’t do bastarding strike-throughs.

On the plus side, though, I have turned in my resignation to the choir that was causing me nothing but stress, and I have a chai latte and a mars bar.

Jaxhog · 04/12/2017 22:51

There was a smartie Penguin? Now I feel really gutted.

EvilDoctorBallerinaRoastDuck · 04/12/2017 22:51

Smile you have actually made me 😂

PurplePumpkinHead · 04/12/2017 22:52

Sainsbury's used to do orange and cranberry cookies. Lush. And now they don't. Bastards Shock

VivaLeBeaver · 04/12/2017 22:54

stdg. You can sort your iPad out by going to settings, keyboards, then uncheck the little button which says something about key flicks.

On the same vein I can no longer play mahjong towers which I’ve played for hours every day for years since I updated my iPad yesterday. Can’t find another mahjong game I like as much and am rather depressed.

EvilDoctorBallerinaRoastDuck · 04/12/2017 23:04

Rafals thank you. I just spat all over my phone. Xmas Grin

Jelly is for all ages. I bet you’re one of those filthy perverts who think trifles involve bananas and almonds.

Iceland’s not common. It’s just a cunningly spread rumour to keep the riffraff out. I’m very posh.

TK Maxx had marzipan fruits when I was in there at the weekend. In a wooden box and everything.

I was expecting this thread to be about the prime minister of Iceland, because FB has been trying to get me to read an article about her all evening.

SemolinaSilkpaws · 05/12/2017 00:01

Will M&S do those wonderful chocolate hot cross buns again next year. Totally orgasmic when heated in the microwave, molten Belgian chocolate - yum.

gingergenius · 05/12/2017 00:06

@HoneyDragon almonds are allowed on the top cream layer provided they are a) blanched b) sliced and c) toasted

tccat · 05/12/2017 01:00

I've still not got over Puffa Puffa Rice cereal being discontinued

KickAssAngel · 05/12/2017 01:15

I live in the US and have been drooling over this thread. We're actually heading 'home' for Christmas but will be spending most of it with MIL, who will insist on making her family recipe bread & fruit pudding (loads of chopped up white bread, with fruit, not even buttered, put in a pudding bowl and briefly steamed) and telling me that I like it. She'll buy DH a proper Christmas pudding, single serving size, and tell him he likes it (he doesn't) then not having enough sprouts in because we don't like them (we do).

On the plus side, I can get Chubby Hubby ice cream at my local store here.
