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...

Prawn cocktail 🤢 or any other kind of fish dish.

CHEESE with random non-cheese flavours or, even worse, with bits in...

Especially if those 'bits' are salted caramel, which I saw today WTF?

NoWordForFluffy · 21/12/2018 18:21

Christmas pudding and cake
Marzipan
Bread sauce (wet bread Xmas Envy < not envy)
Trifle (wet sponge, see above)
Cranberry sauce
Mulled wine (why would I want hot wine?!)
Brandy butter / cream
I've not had eggnog, but I can't see myself rushing to try it as it sounds grim!
Turkey isn't my favourite either (I'm doing pork, beef and turkey this year).

I had never even heard of bread sauce until we did an xmas dinner in one of my student sharehouses, and I watched with horror as someone tipped this jug of lumpy grey sludge over their perfectly good dinner. I still have no truck with it. It tastes ultra bland and looks like the early stages of a craft project.

I eat pretty much anything, but I've also never cared for:
Kinnerton or BonBon Buddies advent 'chocolate'
Candy canes
Christmas cake with royal icing
Brandy butter
Blue cheese

Wenslydale with "things" in. There's nothing wrong with it as is, and it's impossible to find without cranberries, apricot or salted bloody caramel in it. Bligh.

Cheap chocs like celebrations, quality street and roses.
Smoked salmon
Cranberry sauce
Bread sauce
Mulled wine
Liqueur chocolates
All yuk but love everything else.

Christmas pudding, too stodgy.

FelicityLemon · 21/12/2018 20:13

I sampled some salted caramel cheese at a stall at a show, it was every bit as unpleasant as you might imagine.

4yearsnosleep · 21/12/2018 20:13

Not a massive fan of turkey so we have venison. Safe to say that I love absolutely everything else

goose1964 · 21/12/2018 20:22

Trifle, anything with cream, sprouts Turkey breast, although I love the dark meat

ThePeppermintMonkey · 21/12/2018 21:12

Alcohol.
Christmas cake/pudding and mince pies.
Gravy
Cheeseboards.

Mummyshark2018 · 21/12/2018 21:28

Mince pies. Even the fancy ones mixed with salted caramel (from Waitrose) disgusting 😂

thismeansnothing · 21/12/2018 23:13

Bread sauce
Brandy butter/sauce
Stollen 🤢
Sherry
Parsnips

Orangewoollysheep · 21/12/2018 23:16

Fruit cheese, fruit cake, pigs in blanket, stollen. I don't like turkey but would eat it.

Lolimax · 21/12/2018 23:22

Nuts. The ones you have to crack yourself. Ugh!!

Lisabel · 22/12/2018 02:02

Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, brandy butter and stilton (yeuck!!).

BumDisease · 22/12/2018 02:08

I've never even seen bread sauce never mind ate it (and I'm a VERY adventurous eater.)

Though I didn't eat a mince pie until I was in my teens because my mum HATES them and never has them in the house; turns out she was right. I imagine she has also been protecting me from the horrors of bread sauce.

drigon · 22/12/2018 02:24

Don't like mince pies, can tolerate Christmas pudding and quite like Christmas cake. Hate sprouts, cauli and Stilton. Not keen on cheap chocolates or cheap and overly sweet Christmas log.

drigon · 22/12/2018 02:28

Never had bread sauce or pigs in blankets. Can't imagine I would like the bread sauce, though. We make bacon and cheese rolls similar to ones M&S used to do, they are lovely!

Grumpyoldblonde · 22/12/2018 09:19

Marzipan and mulled wine are horrible as are after eights and matchmakers. I also hate hot chocolate which seems to be the staple treat to accompany Christmas films.

Love sprouts, bread sauce and turkey though.

GourmetGold · 22/12/2018 10:24

Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, triffle, Stilton cheese.
Those chocolate coins in a net bag... they're always nasty cheap chocolate!

GourmetGold · 22/12/2018 10:24

Trifle even!

IggyAce · 22/12/2018 10:26

Hate stuffing, never tried bread sauce because I really don’t like the look of it (reminds me of congealed baby sick).

MuddlingThroughLife · 22/12/2018 10:28

Mince pies, stuffing, cheese, wine, bread sauce, christmas pudding, christmas cake. Yuck.

GourmetGold · 22/12/2018 10:29

Bucks Fizz🤢
LOVE any Aldi sparkling wines...the only alcohol I like.
