    This is probably the first Christmas that I haven’t eaten more than is strictly necessary - my calories have come from Baileys instead. But I’m no purist, a mince pie is not just for Christmas, it’ll do in the New Year as well ;)

    Aldi Sicillian Lemon Mousse, (xmas tree shaped)


    this was in their Christmas food bit. Bought one to make a change from all the rich food.


    it was delicious. I wish they had them all year round.

    Sounds lovely. Is gelatine listed as an ingredient?

    I had the Aldi honey roast nuts (peanuts), fruit (large black raisins) and chocolate honeycomb, 350g bag. Nice, but the bag contains milk chocolate buttons, which were a bit unexpected, and the honeycomb is indeed very dense and hard. Fortunately the bits are peanut-sized, so easier on the teeth.
    I never had great success making honeycomb toffee, so in its way, it's good to know that commercial confectioners can't get it right either.

    Stollen bites in Lidl this morning, half price @ 99p.

    (why can't I say Stollen without puting on a Sean Connery voice?)
