The best thing about Christmas #1: Little savoury snack things

[tubaman]

Cheese savouries are immense!

Guess what I'm eating as I type this................yes those cheesy ovals, squares, crosses etc things.

Cheese savouries are like pet dogs - theyr'e NOT just for Christmas

They're just better when they come from a massive (nearly) NEVER ENDING tub...

It should never have taken until post 5 to get to this. Never.

When I was younger alternate handfuls of plain Terry's chocolate orange and peanuts was considered by me to be a healthy snack at Christmas

 

[Falkor]

I will have a look around, just used to Fosters and don't really try anything else. Last Christmas I thought I would try something different and went for Fullers, never again to be honest.

Any suggestions on what to try?

Fullers i hate also.

I would say Late Red which is lovely but i think might stop at the end of this month

If ya go to a pub again in November then Harvey Bonfire Boy this is amazing. Never had Harvey Christmas Ale

Leffe is a lovely drink

Chimray is a lovely i go for Blond usually
Duvel
Bitburger is up there

Hoggarden is a great Wheat Beer, so is Erdinger but Paulaner has to be my fav out of Wheat beers.

Man: I think it was, "Blessed are the cheesemakers"!
Gregory's wife: What's so special about the cheesemakers?
Gregory: Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of little savoury snack things at Christmas.

Clearly not belonging on the food thread, but as I saw these beauties when I clicked on the advent calendar link, I want to know if anybody will actually be decorating their tree entirely with them?

 

[Simster]

YES, and then add

and you've got yourself a fine NIBBLES table

I'm not sure tedious breadsticks have any business being on THAT THERE nibbles table. Surely your quartered dip combo selection is the main reason raw sliced carrot sticks were invented?

Harvey's Bonfire Boy GOOD. The youth of today would be better if they drank this in quantity - comatose after 3 pints and no bother to anyone.

These bad boys are sold only at Christmas in Thorntons. A true delight to consume in the festive period!

I love getting the nutcrackers out during yule to demolish a festive NUT selection.

No one mentioned these, is it just me ?

I can only eat one and then I need a lie down.

You're not getting confused with these little fellas, are you:

Then surely it has to be this;

Can't beat a good Cockburns. (I learnt the correct pronunciation a couple of Christmas' ago when all the Tesco staff were laughing at me after I ordered a bottle putting a lot of emphasis on the 'cock'.)

Wise words. Oh and incidentally, accept no CHEAP alternative to the classic After Eight. Asda after-dinner mint thins or whatever are a decidely GASH way of saving a few pennies.

You make a VALID point Sim, I think breadsticks do have their place but should be COMPLEMENTED with carrot sticks and Tortilla Chips.

I trust these will all be making an appearance at Christmas?
I am happy to add to it with Asda Smart Price crisps and ham

If you turn up with anything badged as Asda Smart Price, you will be spending Christmas in the cold room and will be sharing it with our cat, TOBY.

But I thought it was a Christmas tradition these days.
