    How about bread rolls with poppy seeds? (if you do bread making)

    How about a tropical-fruity flapjack with candied peel and coconut??

  • Umm, I know its a bit of an odd suggestion, but candied peel is an integral part of mincemeat, and they reckon (although I must admit i've yet to try it) that the previous years mincemeat is the best cos its allowed to age.

    So... could you make up a batch of mincemeat for next Xmas?

    Coconut is lush just as a nibble, if you can convince any kids you may have to try it, it might be a nice lunchbox change? - just a thought

    and poppy seeds are definately lush on bread rolls, or cheese straws!
