Your favourite seasonal thing to buy

I love the loaves of the bread with marzipan inside - they only seem about for Christmas.

Di, I was in Lidl in Stafford the other day and saw those mini stollens at the till, I resisted somehow

They're really good Jo, they sell out quite fast which is why I bought them as soon as they appeared, but they will stay firmly upstairs for now

Sausagemeat for the Christmas stuffing - they only seem to sell it at this time of year.
If anybody likes wine (!) Aldi champagne is very good - really. Also its only £11.99 atm after being reduced a quid.

It's probably just as well that our local Lidl closed down

Ah, see our farm shop sells its own sausagemeat all year, and it's exactly the same as their plain sausages, so we're a little bit spoilt
Lidl champagne is very good too (we don't have aldi)

[Diflower]

Probably yes Jo
Ours is only a couple of years old, but not that near, it's 6 miles probably, so I/we don't go every week

You interest me strangely!
We need to try that as well then!

[Diflower]

Strangely?
It beat Moet a couple of years ago in blind taste tests
I like Champagne, and wouldn't drink just anything, we buy Prosecco as a very close second

I quite like to buy fireworks for bonfire night - they're seasonal.

For this other thing, I have to have dried sage in to make mum's sage and onion stuffing with loads of breadcrumbs and good chicken stock to dampen it. Yummy.
