What foodie treats MUST you have in at Christmas?

[Posey]

When we were kids, mum always made fudge for grandma and stuffed dates for grandpa.
Am just trying to make a list of stuff to get this week and can't think what treats to buy, for those afternoons in front of the TV/playing with new toys.

So what do you all have in to munch on?

Chocolate orange, Tolberone, quality street, roses, ferrero roche, After eights, nuts. I have none of these in we go to mil's and get them there.

I like to make my own white chocolate and baileys truffles.

YUM YUM

Woooooooo WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tin of chocs (celebrations this year)
Chocolate Oranges
Doritos and dips
Big tub of Mini Cheddards

Crawford's cheese footballs

eugh tissy those smell of vomit !

pistachio nuts, dates, 2ce as many satsumas as you think you could possibly eat, excellent cheese
oh and chocolate, obviously

ferrero roche
cashew nuts
celebrations
a really runny cheese that oozes off the cracker

Oh nuts, of course. May have forgotten those.

Tissy - dh loves cheesy footballs. May have to treat him.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Am now wishing I hadn't as I want them all now and have fairly bare cupboards (can't do festive sad!)

After Eights

tortilla chips to make nachos
Turkish delight
wotsits!
pomegranites
whisky
chocolates
crystalized ginger
unsalted cashews
sugared almonds (nice ones, not the ones coated in 25 inches of extremely tough sugar)
Kettle chips and hummous

Pickled Onions !

Am going to have to get a bigger piece of paper for my shopping list

Creme liqueur and Jago vanilla vodka.

Orange preserve cake, mincemeat cookies, marshmallow fudge, sugar cookies - all made by me!

Chipolatas from Ballencrieff Farms.

My homemade stuffing.

A working oven would be nice.

Nuts of all varieties
Toblerone (but only the milk chocolate one)
Smoked salmon
Mince pies
Cornichons (in fact pretty much anything pickled, excepting eggs...)

what are cornichons? [ignoramus emoticon]

Those little gherkiny things. They look a bit like tiny baby crocodiles.

parents had:

dates and figs
rose and lemon turkish delight (hexagonal box?)
quality street and roses
xmas puding, mince pies and xmas cake
after eights
huge load of nuts to crack
peanuts

this was pre-celebrations, and heroes. As i grew up with these, its my view on christmas!

Someone would always have some ferrero rochers as a gift, and my dad would always get just brazils.

have ordered large fruit and nut selection from riverford, box of turkish delight and some 'chocolate enrobed fruits' for hotel chocolat. I was planning on avoiding cheap chocs, but cracked in co-op and bought a box of roses

have just read that back and I sound like a right ponce - is time to point out that my thighs are dimpled because of years of cadbury addiction and getting used to more expensive (and less sweet) chocolate was the only thing that saved me (only because it is harder to get hold of mind!)

expat - marshmallow fudge sounds YUUUUMMMMY
Is it easy to make?

figs in chocolate
dates in chocolate
other things in chocolate
nice cheese (thoughts on riverford cheeseboard dimply one?)

and, ffs

quorn sausages. my little family love them. its a fecking disgrace.

oh and if you get a riverford box you MUST try the chocolate alchemist stuff, if you havent already. it is the law.

Sorry whats Riverford?
