Good call on the pigs in blankets... easily the best thing about xmas dinner. Traditionally my mum would make a trifle for dessert harv.. (Christmas pud is always on the menu aswell).. so I don't really do Christmas Logs or Christmas Cake. Leading up to Christmas, its always mince pies and in more recent years, Lebkuchen (german gingerbread).
Toffee Deluxe though Late.. no, I cant be having that, sorry... everyone's favourite has to be the purple one.. its written in stone I'm afraid. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they should replace all the toffee ones in Quality Street... with the exception of the Toffee Penny.. Not only is the Toffee Penny the most delicious toffee sweet in the box.. but it also rips your teeth out (like real toffee should) - there is no need for any other toffee.. especially that stupid finger.
Good reasoning on the roses, but not only do they have dark chocolate but also coffee flavoured ones.. which are ALWAYS left to last.. even if you like coffee! There are two roses chocolates I will scoff down though - the Hazel Whirl and the Caramel Barrel one.. once they are gone.. I'm done.
I'm definitely in the minority with the Turkey Leg meat and I'm fine with that... in fact it suits me perfectly... more for me! There has been one year where I didn't get a turkey leg for xmas dinner in the past 20 years and I went fuckin' mental.. ended up scouring the shops on boxing day to buy one
Mind you, that wasn't as bad as the year where nobody bought me Ferrero Rochers... (this was long before FR's were really mainstream as "holiday chocolate")... we don't mention that year in my household anymore... it was a dark time.... these days I'm more adept at spotting Ferrero shaped presents under the tree long before the big day.. so I can usually remind people if I cant see any
