Panettone time is here again!!!!!!!!!!

rinks wrote:I too had an M&S one last year, and it was excellent. But sod off eating them before Christmas Eve. We used to get them as gifts from the bosses at work, but they used the pandemic as some weird justification for not doing that any more.

EDIT: All the "special" varieties, with chocolate etc, can get in the bin.

Panettone is one of the few cases where chocolate is the lesser choice.
I prefer the fruit variety.

It's once a year and like strawberry float and I going without my yearly panettone hunt

The Lidl Deluxe Panettone Classico is good. Will probably be about 4 quid this year.

My favourite is cherry but it's around £15-£20 so that's not happening. Don't like the chocolate chip versions at all.

Yep, the Aldi expensive version is normally pretty decent.
I try all the shops and about £5 or £6 is about average so even getting one from all the shops won't be that expensive.
I have wanted to go to waitrose but the nearest shop to me is quite a trek and I don't normally bother.

Stollen is indeed lovely and I do partake in that as well :wub:

Just need a Japanese christmas cake to complete the Axis of ~~Evil~~ deliciousness.

Another fabulous suggestion.
Aldi do some banging Lebkuchen :wub:

Merry Christmas everyone :wub:

God bless us :wub:

everyone.

I'm partial to a bit of "Christmas Bread" toasted on the George Fireman. Its just the right size.

It's all about the spekulatius for me.

If you have one near you, it's worth checking out TK Maxx for continental Christmas grub.

Isn't that something that doctor puts up your hoop to check piles?

Maybe that's what they do on the Christmas outing?
They all go and get checked for piles.

This, got some excellent Pannetone and Stollen from there a few years ago, my mum is obsessed with the place so quite often get food and other stuff for birthdays/christmas from there.

No, it's a shop that mostly sells end of line clothing at reasonable prices.

Good to hear, but she'll never surpass her extraordinary performance in Heroes.

Some of it is end of line/excess stock, most of it is made for them by companies making designer licensed items, usually lower quality than usual but cheap so people still buy it.

I bought an awesome Le Creuset teapot from TK Maxxx. It's a great pourer.

But we digress!

So do Lidl, have already bought some.

Spotted a big super expensive panettone in Fortnum & Mason today too if anyone fancies really splashing out.

A few year's ago Fenwick's in Newcastle had one the size of R2DT for a few hundred quid. Would be the ultimate show stopper on Christmas day to bring out that and a chainsaw to cut it up with.

So far this year I've bought 3 panettone's.

The Aldi specially selected.
The Tesco Taste the difference Tiramisu
The M&S Nociolato

This years taste test challenge is taking shape :wub:
