The English Christmas goodies have started to arrive, I shall have to hide them, from myself.
Years ago, it was almost impossible to find English Christmas foods in the U.S. but nowadays with the click of a mouse, or a stroll to the import aisle at Publix, they are easily found.It surely makes those memories of Christmas in England around the table, feel so much closer.
Happy, happy Christmas,
that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days;
that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth;
that can transport the sailor and the traveller,
thousands of miles away,
back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!
~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

Many of those things look so familiar. I too am happy to share Christmas with British food. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
Lovely lovely English goodies. Thank goodness we can find Xmas crackers now. The rest I make although there's a British food shop in Athens which will courier most things. We need all these goodies to make it an authentic celebration
