Everyone always talking about food they love at Christmas.. so I thought I’d be a bah humbug (even though I love christmas) and ask what you hate...
For me it has to be mince pies.....🤢
Christmas pudding and Christmas cake...
Any type of pate...

So let’s go...

All the meat.

Auntiepatricia · 20/12/2018 20:43

I think most answers will be the same as yours but weirdly I adore pudding while hating the others. It has to be my mums one though, all others I’ve had taste like gritty shit.

Mince pies, Christmas cake and pudding. Can’t stand them.
Weirdly after hating Brussels for years I ate them at the school Christmas dinner and quite liked them.

Dates.
Urrgh.

Turkey
Mince pies

Justmuddlingalong · 20/12/2018 20:55

Bread sauce. Boak.

WallisFrizz · 20/12/2018 20:56

Yep, mince pies, Christmas cake and Christmas pudding...so heavy. Sprouts are pretty grim too Xmas Envy

Brazenhussy0 · 20/12/2018 20:57

Mince pies, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, turkey, pigs in blankets (anything meaty actually.)

I'm all about the cheese, veg, roast tatties and gravy Xmas Grin

XmasPostmanBos · 20/12/2018 20:58

I love all the dried fruity stuff so you can send that to me. I'm not keen on sprouts though so you can keep those.

ohwownosnow · 20/12/2018 20:58

Turkey. Hate it! No matter how you cook it, it's so dry!

YesIDidNameChangeForThis · 20/12/2018 21:01

Scotch Broth. Undercooked veg. Christmas cake without marzipan etc.

Fatted · 20/12/2018 21:01

Roast Turkey. It's all dry and horrible.

Mince pies. I do love Christmas cake and pudding though.

Cranberry sauce too. Just yuck.

Alanamackree · 20/12/2018 21:03

Not sure why but in the last couple of years I’ve developed a taste for pudding, cake and even mince pies which I couldn’t stand before. I adore Brussels sprouts now too.
DH suspects that I’ve been replaced by an alien.

MysweetAudrina · 20/12/2018 21:08

Sprouts. I will have one though. Pudding. I quite like mince pies and I bought some lovely Christmas cake slices recently that I enjoyed. Not gone on roses/qs/heroes etc would much prefer lindt or Ferrero.

EggysMom · 20/12/2018 21:09

Mince pies, christmas pudding, christmas cake - I don't like candied peel.

Cranberry sauce.

Eggnog.

ALemonyPea · 20/12/2018 21:11

I love Christmas cake and mince pies, I cannot stand Christmas pudding though.

GlitterPixie · 20/12/2018 21:12

Christmas cake, pudding, trifle

JamesBondFilm · 20/12/2018 21:14

Christmas pudding.

MeetOnTheSIedge · 20/12/2018 21:19

Bread sauce, braised red cabbage, any veg in a sweet glaze (carrots, parsnips are the usual offenders). Brandy butter. Trifle.

December24 · 20/12/2018 21:20

Mince pies and Christmas cake. Weirdly I like Christmas pudding even though that's full of raisins, which I usually don't like.

Verbena87 · 20/12/2018 21:20

Bread sauce. Parsnips.

Love mince pies/Christmas cake though.

cushioncovers · 20/12/2018 21:21

Xmas cake and pudding and mince pies. 🤮

MaidenMotherCrone · 20/12/2018 21:23

Bread Sauce, Brandy butter and worst of all Trifle. It’s like organised vomit 🤮

QueenCity · 20/12/2018 21:25

What are you all doing to your turkeys if you are finding them horrible and dry? 😯

22Giraffes · 20/12/2018 21:29

All the meat (except pigs in blankets), sprouts, any kind of sauce (except gravy)
