Every Christmas I fall into the panettone trap

[PanettoneDisappointment]

Does anyone ever actually eat it?

Every year I fall for the pretty box and every year it gets left.

Big thread already with some ideas here too.

Is Panettone the biggest waste of money http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4425204-Is-Panettone-the-biggest-waste-of-money

We love it too ... Preferably a v good one with whipped cream, or toasted, or in a bread and butter pudding.

I also love Pandoro. Italian puddings are fab.

I’ve never tried it before but was given one as part of a hamper by a lovely Italian family at my school this year. This thread inspired me to try it so I’ve just had 2 slices toasted with butter and it was delicious! So thank you for starting this thread 😄.

I buy one every year I love them toasted with butter or they make really yummy bread and butter pudding

You could have it as a pannetone Christmas bombe. You stuff it with ice cream and pour cold baileys over it. Absolutely glorious

I toast it and spread butter on it and have it for Christmas day breakfast 😋 love it

Morrison’s do a chocolate chip one with no fruit. It’s about £3 and it’s not fancy but it is delicious.

We got one with chocolate not fruit

Very light and fluffy

From a local deli - very nice

I'm going to make one to have for Christmas breakfast. It's too late this year. I've bought aldi croissants. Plus my baking schedule is set

God yes! Toast it add real butter, yum! It’s not dry at all, it’s really moist and delicious!

Heretic! Dunk into black coffee for breakfast, make a rich bread and butter pudding, Nigel Slater's cake... So many possibilities.

I love panettone so much! We've already had one. We have two more patiently waiting as we have a lot of treats and they'll keep a bit! I like a chunk room temp with a rea/coffee.

I love them but didn't buy one this year as it's a struggle to eat a whole one

I don’t get the adding butter thing. But then neither do I put butter on croissants as they contain butter already

It’s just like putting butter in a toasted teacake

Nigellas cake looks good but havent tried it.

Dh asked me if he should get one for his helper along with the bottle he'd bought.

Good god no says I. Thats what you buy when you can't be arsed. No-one actually likes it.

Guess what he brought home as his gift from said helper 😆

Actually we had some toasted last night and it was quite nice.

Make french toast with it.

I really like panettone but I don't think DH does. His parents gave us a big one one year and I ended up eating most of it, so I don't buy it now. I like eating it in cafés now and again. I have heard it makes good bread and butter pudding, but if I had a lot to use up I'd probably just eat it toasted and/or buttered most of the time.

Teacakes are dry though, and not nice unless toasted.

I love panettone. I sent DH out yesterday to get me one from Lidl or Aldi, because they usually have loads. But there wasn't any at all. He found them in Asda and even then, only a few.
I have a fruit and a chocolate one. Both delicious.
No one's getting any. There all mine.

😋😁

Panettone is great, so versatile, but definitely think it as a brioche. I would take panettone over most Christmas desserts (Christmas cake, christmas pudding).

Jamie Oliver does bonkers panettone pudding which is heavenly, very rich but I can't stop once I start.

I am sorry. You are utterly and completely wrong. Panettone is absolutely delicious. I only buy one though because I can eat the whole 700g ones in a day easily

They need to be really fresh and soft though. So many of the cheap ones sold in this country are very dry.

Honestly try it, it’s so good!
