Christmas Treats ...

What food means 'Christmas' to you ...

I just gave in to temptation and attacked the 'genuine turkish delight' that I bought (in theory) for Christmas Day - lovely rose & lemon stickiness that is the essence of a Christmas treat ... what rings your bell?

A box of dates and some walnuts

Brazil nuts and Galaxy chocolate.

We used to have bacon, fried cheese nd fried apple for Christmas morning breakfast. Don't currently have any food traditions as such as the children are too interested in their presents ut this might change as they get older.
