Everone loves an advent calendar, whether it's a traditional one with a little Father Christmas hanging on a string that you move from one pocket to another, or one with a string to pull that makes Father Christmas dance, or one with awful little chocolates that you'd shun every other month of the year, etc etc.

For the last few years I've had a cheese advent calendar but I've not been able to find one in stock this year so instead I've done this.

The purists may argue that it's not technically an advent calendar and I suppose you could be right but each one does has 24 goodies, they're numbered but just not behind a door so I'm saying it's fair :cry:

With only a few days to go until December, what have you got?

I bought a packet of scampi fries on Monday at the pub....have they changed their recipe? It tastes like nuclear waste or something strong. I swear it was more sweet and savory before, when i say before, like 10 years ago.

No idea, it's probably been longer than ten years since I last had any. I'll let you know next week.

I remember having an advent calendar taking me to New Year.

Then it's not an advent calendar. An advent calendar counts down the days of Advent leading up to Christmas. By definition, Advent ends on Christmas Eve :p

That's fine for some beers but IPAs and the like really shouldn't be left out at room temperature.

Bottled beers are fine at room temperature, how do you they think they're stored after they're made, while they're in transit to shops and while they're on the shelf? Plus, most ales should be served just a few degrees below room temperature, not from the fridge.

Not an issue with my scampi and bacon fries though ;)

I've just opened the first door packet of scampi fries and they don't taste any different to how I remember them.
