  • Hi Caroline,

    As the thread below yours is on the very same subject I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

    Thanks :) I think I must have posted this when the other thread dropped off the front page (or I didn't scroll down far enough), I made the new thread and then saw directly underneath it this one! :rolleyes:

    Also I found this, I think we're a bit behind the times http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/dec/16/christmas.foodanddrink

  • This thread reminds me of a cousin of mine who had invited someone round for the evening - it was in the 70s. He was most indignant because they did not turn up - and he had bought a box of Ritz crackers specially!! :rotfl:

    I remember cheese and wine parties were the thing - loads of sliced french bread with selection of different cheeses. Can you still get Party 4 or Party 7 cans? (Like wine boxes, only big cans holding 4 or 7 pints of beer).
