Christmas Foods 2023

[Thunderplex]

All the Christmas goods have started to leak out now, so what’s good and what’s not?

 This years Tescos crisps offerings include Christmas pudding flavour that can fuck right off.  Tried the Turkey and Sage Butter ones last night.  Not bad but the butter but tasted more like marge.

 Greggs have done the Christmas Soup again this year.  Had it last year, appalling.  Looks like puke and tasted worse.

Got some dark chocolate and cherry cookies from the Tesco luxury Christmas range. £2.50 for 8 cookies and they were delicious. Also had some Cadbury Puds which are once again back and just as nice as ever.

I just hope the Co-Op bring back the cheese and ham croquettes, and M&S the cheeseburger spring rolls.

Greggs' festive bakes are nice, so I'll probably grab some at some point. Not till December, though, I don't care how early they bring them out.

Fucks me right off that Starbucks are the only ones doing eggnog lattes. They were like crack to me. Am boycotting the cunts now, though, so it's like taunting. Gonna try and learn how to make eggnog this year myself, and then they can really get to fuck.

Pound Bakery do ten pigs in blankets for a quid.

Why are you waiting until December? It’s just food.

I love it when someone says 'like crack' when they've obviously never done crack. Use something from your world, like 'the eggnog latte is like scrapbooking' ?

A personal thing. I like to "get into the mood" for certain times of year, so I don't want to get into the Christmas frame of mind too early, while I'm still enjoying autumn. Yes, it's poncey. No, I don't care. I might even change my mind, depending on how depressing November is, which is often.

I've never done scrapbooking either.

So it looks like Kwasi is going to be thrown under the bus today.

That must have been messy.

Sainsburys are doing a veggie pigs in blankets sandwich that's better than expected, and a Boxing Day curry wrap that's absolute shit.

[Pork Pie]

M&S Turkey Feast and Pigs in Blankets combo mix crisps/corn snacks taste incredible. I hate to think how many ill have had by the time Christmas is over.

Boxing Day Curry flavour seems to be a big thing this year.

Seen the UK one, but it's been a very long time since, so I don't remember much.

Have you heard Sports by Huey Lewis And The News?

I hope the festive bakes aren't as "sagey" as last years. That's all you could taste to be honest.

Starbucks are also doing a Caramel Waffle Latte and as I have no morals, had one last night and whilst not like crack, it is like a really good blip of hash. Very nice.

Can I just ask for everyone to be more responsible this winter and say if you're going to offer a guest in your house a mince pie, please make clear before you bring it through that it's the shitty-ass fruit thing. I get burned every year and it's always upsetting.
