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.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 20/12/2018 20:53

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DH suspects that I’ve been replaced by an alien.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)
