Best Christmas snacks

[Barcon]

Love stollen and panettone - any leftover panettone that's a little dry gets banged into a bread and butter pudding

What is it? Sounds like a plants reproductive parts.

The best Christmas snacks are those that can be eaten without too much concentration while staggering home from a Xmas do.

How much are Gail’s baps? :)

Mrs H is called Gail, cost me a fortune over the years.

Not Christmas snacks but anyone tried the “Street Food” from Asda, lovely stuff but quite expensive, they sometimes have a taster on the counter, really good

Also Asda are doing a winter warmer for FOC’s, (over 60’s), veg or tomato soup with a roll and butter plus unlimited hot drinks for a quid.

Stollen is a German cake, Panettone is an Italian cake. I don't like either.

That's a sodium rush and a half!

Sainsbury's currently retails a single Curly Wurly at 25p; 3p in that 1970s picture.

Was intrigued by how Turkish Delight ever became popular in the British market and discovered that it was introduced by Fry's back in 1914; a marketing masterstroke given that the country went to war with the Ottoman Empire in November of that year.

how anyone likes these chocolate covered toilet blocks is a mystery to me

They're quite nice in the Levant to accompany a cup of bitter coffee, but to smother them in chocolate is, in the words of Alan Partridge, 'demented'.

That Frys plain sandwich top left was an underrated masterpiece - they also did a milk sandwich with 2 layers of milk and 1 of plain - sadly long gone -I even try to replicate my own versions of these esp at Christmas

Tins of Quality Street and Roses take me back to being a kid when I see the cellophane (I know it's changed). As a kid, it was like opening a treasure box as you didn't see them really unless it was Christmas.

For some reason though, nuts are Christmas to me - I think it was my Grandad who would buy a big bag of them and spend ages trying to open them with these cheap nutcrackers he'd use once a year! For some reason, I never eat dry roasted peanuts unless it's after Christmas either!
