Those are one of the varieties of Lebkuchen.

Mum likes them cos they're nearly fat-free.
They are, of course, very high in sugar.

I see Sainsbury's are selling 2 x 250g packs for £2 (or £1.15 each).

Today to Makro to reserve 4 large live lobsters to pick up on Xmas eve. Then to Ginger Pig to order the three bird roast. Mallard, Poulet de Landes and Pheasant I think with turkey legs sewn on.  Annual Wine run  Majestic in Calais using their free crossing service was sorted a couple of weeks ago.

Nowt so far.  Missus mooted the idea of doing a big Indian spread, look of horror on Inlaw Paw's phyz clobbered that sharpish.

Sister has done Beef Welly for the last threescore & ten. Bloody boring.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

I could, I suppose. I do this with Jaffa Cakes1, which he also Does Not Like but I'm still pretending I want to get thinner.

A bottle of Châteauneuf Du Pape to go with Christmas dinner and a Spanish Muscatel to go with Christmas Pudding.
We have also got a tine of chocolate biscuits and a cheese biscuit selection.
I will order some pork and game pies from the butchers at the weekend along with sausages and bacon.
The turkey will be procured at the annual Malton turkey auction the weekend before Christmas as has become traditional (along with the getting somewhat hammered in the pub afterwards).
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
