Christmas wouldn't be Christmas Without...........

Those of you who know anything about me

know I am an absolute foodie; I love

cooking, entertaining, eating, reading food

books and magazines..........the list goes on.

So Christmas is THE time when I just get lost

in all the pleasures of food; cooking

tasting, testing, presenting.

I start planing my menu way back in

October, and it gets changed many,

many times.

Eggnog Muffins

But there are some favorites that

traditionally find their way onto the table; Christmas

just wouldn't be Christmas without them, such as.......

*Roast Goose (no-one in

my family are great fans of turkey)

* A stollen cake (which started from

many childhood Chritsmases in Switzerland)

* Snowball (a mixture of egg-nog and lemonade). I think

it's something my Mum invented when we were children.

I'm not sure if " snowballs" even exist. Maybe someone

can enlighten me :-)

French toast made from fresh brioché

for Christmas morning breakfast. Usually washed down

with Bucks Fizz.

Anything containing pecans usually finds it's

way onto the menu

And once all the cooking is done,

all the treats eaten, I will

ask Santa for this ................

So what foodie treats traditionally find their

way onto your menu (the more unusual the

better ;-)
