Slick Rick Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Eggnog is a British creation. I saw it first in Xmas movies.  Panettone is an Italian creation.  I wanna dip Panettone in Eggnog.  What other treats are there?  Thx to all that chime in 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 In the middle of summer.... I think the only place you'd be able to buy them is online right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Last year Tesco and Asda started to fill their shelves with Christmas foods in August. Not long to go now.  Supermarket across the UK have shocked shoppers by filling shelves with Christmasfoods and drinks, with weeks of the school summer holidays still to go. Both Tesco and Asda are selling Christmas related goodies, with shoppers snapping photos of chocolate, mulled wine and festive sweets already on sale. While the weather certainly feels autumnal, many shoppers have been left confused by the goods, saying that it's not even Halloween yet.

Anna B Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I hate this. I'd much rather see seasonal stuff sold only in the season it relates to. I know some people like to get ahead, and I understand that, but honestly, the shops should be full of summery stuff right now. Â IMO Christmas stuff should only be available after October. It keeps it special, and Christmas treats something to look forward to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I can cope better with seeing the Easter eggs than the Christmas stock on shelves in August. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Went on self=catering holiday with friend, she used to open tin of fruit cocktail and put Dream Topping on (don't know if they still sell it) perhaps if a sponge base was used it could be made into a trifle, draining off the fruit juice, maybe adding sliced banana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
