You should go food shopping with my OH at Xmas - he is insane - all the rubbish he HAS to have just because it's Christmas! Am attempting to put my foot down this year.....no doubt a tin of Crappy Quality Street will appear from the back of his car...!

It would appear so...mind you, we are having Beef this year but I am demanding Bread Sauce with it, even though it doesn't go....just because it is Christmas!

I'm no great fan, normally, but with all the trimmings, stuffing, parsnips etc it's my fave meal of the year.

BUT!
Are these quality streets and chocolate oranges the real deal or are they the North American version.

That is the question.

I'm sure there are Christmas geese available in the Halifax area, probably in a gourmet food shop. If not aren't there any Canada Geese swimming in the lake?

I am sure I could find one - but due to recent events I don't have tons of cash to buy one!

That's okay - I hadn't thought of looking in the gourmet shops - I will remember that next year!
