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

[Lady Whistledown]

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

I'm really not sure why, but as a kid I'd pick out the round and oval shaped ones, and eat them, leaving the evil pointy star and triangle ones well alone. The squares and other ones were left in a sort of mid-table cheese-snack mediocrity, neither challenging for the title with the round ones, nor battling relegation with the pointy stars.

Dunno about anybody else, but anytime I've ever got stuck into the port I've woken up next morning utterly CONVINCED I'd suffered a major brain hemorrhage in the night.

Marks and Spencers have on offer a lovely creamy offering flavoured with a hint of ginger.. It`s called 'Gingerbread cream' funnily enough and I bought a bottle last weekend but it`s not going to make Christmas.
Will go superbly well with a tub of the Jacob`s cheesy footballs.

Same with me too. I love port but drink it as if it's normal red wine, end polishing off a bottle quite easily. Fun at the time though !

If you have done it properly a brain hemorrhage is the cowards way out!

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?

Thought you would have a pair as ear-rings.

Jacobs cheese filled footballs only available over Christmas period why I dont know. Sorry cant do the picture thingme.

Used to love these as a kid (probably just through associating them with Christmas) - now I find them repulsive!

Same for me, mostly because I used to indulge in the sport of swallowing cheese savouries whole and the square and pointy ones didn't half hurt on the way down

edit: Oh, double post, sorry.

The hexagons weren't bad either, best of both worlds. Pointy edges for the grown ups, and the appearance of something round to keep the kids happy.

[Don Tmatter]

They have to be eaten singularly and I must admit that eating the oval ones are the most satifying

 

[DumLum]

Smash it UP!

This.

But the Dark chocolate ones!

 

[johnhammond]

I will mostly be eating these as if they were crisps
