Lol my other half can't stand carrots but every year I hide one in his peas!!! He usually eats it moaning that it's only because it's Xmas!!!!

My mum's trifle! It's the best trifle ever and I love it made with sterilised cream! Still nice with fresh cream, but you can't beat the tinned stuff.

Turkey! Not a huge lover of Turkey, but you can't have Christmas without it and all the trimmings.

A selection box, or three, for breakfast!

I love Christmas

Crikey, the Ambrosial Alchemy fruitcake sounds interesting!

It's made with figs and dates, as well as nuts, and tastes like fruitcake used to taste.
