4 types of cheese, sourdough crackers, quince jelly, red onion chutney, salami, cold cuts of turkey and ham, olives, gherkins, grapes… what else??

(procrastinating by planning my Christmas shop…)

I think pomegranate seeds are good to add- they look like little Christmas jewels and Gruyere cheese is great for it's nuttiness!

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/sausage-cranberry-stuffing you can then wrap the balls in some streaky bacon if you want to be extra. I don’t bother with the nuts.

The sausage rolls are a very basic addition of crunchy peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce or Thai red curry paste (about a tbsp), some finely chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime to the sausage meat. If it looks wet throw in a handful of panko breadcrumbs. Make up as normal, brush with beaten egg and top with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds.

I also do a ploughman’s sausage roll with a couple of tablespoons of chutney and an ounce or two of sharp cheddar (optional).

Oh and final one is adding curry powder and a tablespoon of mango chutney to the sausage meat. You can top that one with the pre-done crispy onions, but they can catch a little.

Thai sausage rolls - so extra, sounds brilliant.

New idea for grazing board - truffled Brie. Nice treat, extra fancy.
