Festive Munch

Gonna take a wander to Morrisons soon for some snacks and booze so I'm looking for some ideas. I always feel that we don't get all the good stuff and I get jealous round friends houses lol.

What additional snacks / treats do you guys get for your house at Christmas?

I love dates at christmas...or peanuts. Get those

Peanuts sound a good shout. Dates aren't my thing though

Chestnuts, we always have them in winter

Mince pies - M&S seem to be the best this year.

american pancakes, bacon and maple syrup for me! as for snacks... love those pork pies with cranberries on top. get a good selection of cheeses too, and some port.

Pfft, buying mince pies is cheating!

morrisons pasties/pies are really good. we've also got a big bag of their stuffing, which is also really nice

I miss Brazil nuts.

The fight to get them out of the shell was one of the joys!

Is this something you buy or make? Sounds good.

Honey Roast Cashews & Peanuts in a jar that seems ridiculously too big.

^^ is Christmas!

then buy about 6 jars as you can't stop munching on them,
along with mince pies, especially the puff pastry ones.
crisps
various chocolaty nibbles.

Don't forget the cheese and port, for the late night film on Christmas day, once parents have gone to bed.

Spicy potato wedges and sweet potato wedges + home made sour cream and chive dip
Pistachios
Mini sausages
Kettle chips and various dips

Morrisons stock a great vodka.

Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion.

It is epic.

Hedge · 23 Dec 2010 at 12:38

Potato wedges, oh god I need some of them. Good thinking!
Some good ideas people!
