    Meat is now getting so expensive, so I would say a nice joint of lamb or beef, a bottle of wine and chocolate.
    I would also miss a bottle of Cointreau at Christmas

    A decent joint for a roast.

    It is what differentiates the weekend from weekdays for us as we are very time poor during the week and rely on quick often rather uninspiring meals or batch cooked things from the freezer that can be on the table with very minimum effort within 30 mins.

    Tea and chocolate for me.

    Although I'm trying to make chocolate an even more occasional treat than it currently is, there are times when NOTHING ELSE will do! :EasterBun
