So we can all see whether we need to buy any more???? Wink

I wrote out a list of the foods I had on another thread and then wondered, is it too much? Too little? Have I missed anything I can still buy???

So come and indulge, and share what you have...

I have:

Cocktail sausages, pigs in blankets, smoked salmon and cream cheese to make canapés, duck spring rolls, filo prawns, chicken satay skewers, an eighteen piece oriental selection...

For cheese board I have

Barber’s cruncher cheddar, cheddar with truffle, Red Leicester, conte, (we don’t like soft cheese), then I have ritz crackers, carrs melts, grapes, apples, red onion chutney....

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 20/12/2020 19:11

I have gin, red wine, white wine, Prosecco, stollen, some posh chocolate fruit/nuts, 3 types of cheese crackers, Camembert and rosemary crisps

We eat party food all of December. But specifically for Christmas day we have mini beef Wellingtons and cook from frozen sausage rolls. The cheese board is sadly much less adventurous than usual due to my pregnancy, sad times.

My favourite are pickled frankfurters (normally similar type of sausage, but very thick is used).
Then various dips and spreads with toppings like veg and salami. These are for Christmas Eve.

In food so far only got the gammon joint and a bottle of full fat cherry coke to cook it in.
But I did go to farm foods and stock up with soft drinks
