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 Pap

It's amazing that nowadays we can find just about anything on the Internet. Your edible treasures look wonderful and tempting. I'm glad you found things that evoke memories of England and holidays past. Jon
Oh how I envy you. Especially the Quality Street!
I've made the mincemeat and shall start on mince pies one day soon.
Xmas fruit is soaking for the cake.
Onions are being peeled for pickling.
There is a British shop in Athens but it's expensive
Either way we'll all have a merry British Xmas
Oh, what lovely things to remind you of your childhoods Christmases past.
... enjoy your Christmas goodies.
All the best Jan
I might have to investigate some of your favorites!
We have two different movies of the scrooge with different actors that we watch every year. Tiny Tim always gets better. The plum pudding by Walkers would be great to try. I know you order it and it is shipped to you. Fun!
