It has to be the tin of Roses/Quality St for me. I will quite happily sit there working my way through the whole tin....growling at anybody who comes within 10 feet of me....only when all the nasty coffee ones are left will I pass them round. The only trouble is they aren't available where I live, so I have to buy a tin when I visit UK. As this can often be months before Xmas, they rarely get to see Xmas Day. :cry:

Yeah, got my TV Times today as well.
20 odd years back getting the first read of the Christmas TV Times was a big thing.
There used to be so many incredible things on festive TV back then.
I haven't read this years one yet, but telly is so poor these days I will be happy if I can find five things in the whole magazine that I want to watch.

I did get some more Christmas treats in today.
Plastic "tins" of Quality Street & Roses, recent years i've ended up with stuff like Cadburys Heroes & whatever the Mars ones are called, but this year I went with the British traditional combo. A 12 pack of Wild Cherry Pepsi (surprisingly cheap in my local Sainsburys), A few packs of chocolate covered pretzels, Some Turkish Delight (which I haven't had for years), some Kahlúa, some passion fruit liqueur, & lots of interesting sweets.
I've also bought something to try called the miracle berry, I originally saw them on QI, has anyone heard of them, or even tried them.
I have also bought some insects to try with my girlfriend, a pack of fried mealworms with mexican spices !
Has anyone else got a weirder Christmas treat ???

I have also got some recipes for eggnog, which I am finally going to try.
I am also toying with the idea of getting a bottle of Advocaat, so I can have a snowball for the first time in about thirty years.
