FUCK CHRISTMAS

[Dex Sawash]

Wife's been sending me to Costco (america) every other day to see if the wine advent calendar box is out yet.
I gather it is 25 mini-bottles or something.
Probably belongs more in the "fun shit for unfunny people" thread.

Someone asked what I'd be cooking for Christmas dinner this year. Since it'll just be the 3 of us, my daughter doesn't give a shit about food and my partner will say she's not arsed, it feels ludicrous to attempt anything remotely special. Perfect.

I'm gonna order a takeaway from my local Bangladeshi outlet, let it cool down, bung it in the fridge overnight and reheat it for Christmas dinner.

And smoke myself into the carpet when the missus goes over to see her sister.

Happy days.

I was very tempted to get a beer advent calendar. Then I just decided to brew my own Christmas pudding ale instead.

Beef Wellington is remarkably inexpensive and easy to make but tastes posh as fuck.

No Sprouts Mexicaine is it

[Replies From View]

Trust me I counted three citrus fruits, which means they must all be citrus fruits in that thing, most probably lemons or limes


alright cheers.  yeah, pop them down as limes

[Cuellar]

Made a few sprout curries after last christmas, and it's fine, but you end up eating LOADS of sprouts, obviously, but so many more than you'd eat if they were an accompaniment to a christmas or even just roast dinner. I mean, how many would you eat as a side? 5? Sprout curry you'll eat double that, easily.

It's just not viable.

i'll have some Advocaat

They do gin ones that cost a fucking fortune.

Mate proposed doing a whisky tasting where he decants a load of different whisky's into miniatures and posts them to us and we taste them over Zoom. Could work.

Can people really not just nail an entire booze advent calendar in one go?

I don't believe they can.

[Blue Jam]

The booze advent calendar I was looking at was £75 for 24 beers. Some were exclusives brewed just for the calendar, but fuck it, a homebrew kit costs £20 for 40 pints.

Just put up some tinsel and lights, plus a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump in a Santa hat which I got in Poundland and have put in a Stayin' Alive pose. Very pleased with it but glad it's not life-sized.

Tacky as hell.

Tacky as hell.

It's Christmas. "Tacky as hell" is precisely the look I'm going for.

I saw a cheese advent calendar in Sainsbury's. Debenhams had a pork scratchings one last year or the year before.

Kind of want but don't Subway carry turkey meat all year round anyway, would it kill them to lob some of that in there as well?

...served best in our new Tiger Bread (but don't let that stop you from choosing your favourite carrier).

Is 'carrier' really the best word to use in a pandemic? Or ever for a food product?

[Blue Jam]

I don't like tiger bread, it smells wrong.

I was in Saino's yesterday and saw a coffee pod advent calendar. A cheese one sounds alright, didn't see that one though.

I saw those pork scratching advent calendars in John Lewis last year. 24 bags of pork scratchings. Great if all you want for Christmas is a nice bit of hypertension.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Imagine having pork scratchings, cheese and port on the go at the same time.
