***Very OT*** CHRISTMAS ***OT***

Then you must be a pretty crazy mixed-up person too, but never mind. It takes all sorts, and by golly, we certainly get `em on here. I prefer the licquorice ones, myself. Now they ARE nicely integrated! LOL!

Lucretia, Catherine and I seem to be leaning towards a kind of kippered effect. Served as part of a Full English?? Or with a bit of raw onion and brown bread, as with smoked salmon?? Dawne

I luv `em - but you got the "eewwwww!" right! VERY WINDY, Like Cheryl`s beans. Probably why we get so many gale warnings around Christmas.

My daughter`s bloodhound loved them, but was the most unsociable dog to be downwind of around Christmas!

They should be dipped in chocolate of course!

What *is* "salad cream" anyway? I've always wondered that.

Best wishes, Ericka

GACK! I am SO glad that I didn't get get that nice fresh cuppa I was thinking about!

Cheryl

Never had meat dipped in chocolate. Veggies dipped in chocolate could be tasty!

I've discovered that our "rent a dog" (yes - we are still dog sitting) like broccoli!

Cheryl

Which begs the question: Are heretics meat or vegetables? {G&D&R}

I would think some of them might be fruit(cake)s. It is fruitcakes that have nuts!

Also G&D&R

Like ants?

We did. In addition to "Silent Night", we also sang "I had a little dreidel". This was back in the Dark Ages before Kwanzaa was invented, so we couldn't sing Happy Kwanzaa, but we did sing Negro Spirituals, Mexican songs, German songs, Italian songs, etc., though the French ones were the only ones Miss Alcee made us learn in the original language.

Pictures are lovely, but chocolate is better!

Nice analogy!

I'm heading over to Mt. Shasta Naturals for Cheryl this afternoon. Want me to pop into the tea shop next door and buy you a jar of Salad Cream so you can find out for yourself?

In that case, yes, I *am* coming to dinner, and yes, you *may* put broccoli on my plate.

What a waste of good chocolate!

Pat P

Mind you, it`s a possibility - a piece of plain chocolate added to Chilli works wonders! Yum!

I imagine it`s a bit like your mMiracle Whip.

According to the label it`s made from:Spirit vinegar, vegetable oil,water, sugar, mustard, salt, egg yolks, cornflour,stailisers, Xanthus and Guar gums,and riboflavin. We like it and DON`T like real Mayonnaise. We mix it with a little tomato sauce for a seafood dressing.
