Are we being prepared for Christmas food shortages?

I bought two tubs of celebrations and hid them in the utility room but opened one on my birthday on accident

We are all saved as I see Heinz have brought out cans of Big Soup which contain all the elements of a Christmas dinner including sprouts and pigs in blankets. All that's needed is a tin opener and a pan. Job done

Sure non of us will starve , in fact having seen how much food people waste over the Christmas period, won’t hurt if shelves are a little depleted. From where I’m standing, have not seen much of that.

bloody hell that sounds quite fabulous really...maybe not on christmas day though! but maybe a day when you don't have work the following day...

That sounds like those cooked breakfasts you can buy in a can. A dolls house sized scotch egg submerged in a sea of beans along with something flappy and pink that might be bacon. I'm saying that like I don't like them but I woof them down when camping. Absolutely lush.

Apparently they have sold out now but are expecting to get more in the shops before Christmas. Saw some pics and it does look full of veg, meat etc. Not sure about canned sprouts although they do sell them here in France.

I saw the picture and thought I’d rather have bread and jam.

We bought Jared sprouts in holland years ago. They were quite salty so we put them in a sieve and tried to rinse them, they just dissolve they were so “well cooked”!

sodapop we lived in France for about 2 years, I couldn’t believe the tinned sprouts! I love fresh ones, not a part of French cuisine for us,

I've still gotlast year's pudding and the cake will be baked tomorrow. Next move will be mince pies which will then go in the freezer till we need them. Hopefully the shops will have cranberries soon because I do like my homemade cranberry sauce. Oh and I did put a couple of packs of pigs in blankets in the freezer because Aldi had some. As for the rest I'm sure we'll put something together.

You can't beat bread and jam ?
