food shopping list

[sweetheart]

Apart from turkey and all the trimmings what are the other food items that you have in your house over xmas? We always have a stock of pate and cheeses but I'd like some other ideas so anything thats a must have on your shopping lists let me know :-D

bacon
parma ham

stock of fruit to have with cheeses,ie figs with marscapone,granny smiths,grapes,lemons for lemon cheese cake and any fruits to make an impromptu fruit salad if required or a crumble. if bananas start to go brownish i just freeze them to make muffins at a later date

always do a honey glazed gammon and make sausage rolls and cheese straws,so have pickles and mustard in too

Cheese, cold meats, crackers, ready-to-bake bread/rolls - never short of a meal if you've got that lot in

I can't believe no-one has mentioned it yet. Chocolate! And champagne.

Cheese, bread, crackers, different drinks, I make sausage rolls, veggie ones, mince pies, chocolate truffles, a chocolate torte and christmas puddings, I also made a christmas cake this year. I buy gherkins, beetroot, pickle all to have with cold turkey/sandwiches, biscuits, smoked salmon, meats, mixed nuts, peanuts; and probably some more that I can't remember. I have me and the 3dcs, dp, mum, dad and grandad for christmas day and boxing day dinner plus dp's family have visited and will again.

Lots and lots of things that are bad for you and make you gain weight in our house

We have prawns to start, usual turkey dinner, trifle or gateau ahhhh stuffed pigs

then...............

at night break out the munchies:- cheese, crackers, chocolate, crisps, cheddars, doritos, dips( feel sick writing all this but hey its xmas)

Boxing day is buffet day so lots of sausage rolls, mini pies, chicken, sliced meats, cheese, crackers, pate and other nibblies

yum yum yum - everything mentioned has been added to my list, keep it coming I'm loving it!

i buy leeks and then make a turkey ham and leek pie with a white cheesy sauce in it with puff pastry. the boys love it,and its a really different way to use up the ham and turkey

PRETZELS!!! and cheese footballs. and chocolates. More chocolates.

cheese biscuits, plenty of nibbly things to munch on when watching films (dried fruit,nuts, chocolate, pretzels for us too) plenty of bread for toast and sandwiches, fruit especially lots of satsumas, Bramley apples for little pies when dcs decide they don't like mince pies anymore, plenty of homemade cake and mince pies, beetroot, potatoes and tomatoes to go with cold meats,
extra cranberry sauce for turkey and cranberry tarts

OMG do they still do those cheese balls....they taste disgusting yukky.

get the par baked bread rolls in,in case you run out.
Just bought some of the cravndale milk incase milk deliveries are bad due to snow....no milk no bread sauce,coffee,tea,brekky etc

Stollen, panetone, gallons of cream, ready made salady stuff for leftover turkey, potted shrimp, olives, marinated anchovies, marinated artichokes, pickled onions, cornichons...

Trifle + Xmas pud + a few desserts for the freezer + cream and custard + ice cream

Posh crisps , dips, nuts, cheese, crackers, grapes, mince pies and lots of chocs and biscuits

An enormous ham and lots of lovely chutney

Nice bread + tasty salady bits to make sangers with
