'fess up !

[Annette Curtain]

What you still eating from Christmas?

I'm chomping on x 4 mini chocolate santa's, most delicious (in a carob-cheapo-choc-way)

6 left in the little red festive net

I miss Christmas

[DJKillaQueen]

A box of Milk Tray.....a very large one.........!

[????]

All gone....and the booze

*burp*

[DJKillaQueen]

I'd be very worried about you quids if you still had some Christmas booze left ;)

[????]

Even the disgusting Bacardi is no more

[Annette Curtain]

Does Sherry count ?

No one is expected to polish off the sherry by now are they

[????]

I am keen on a spot of Sherry, there's a whole thread dedicated to my sherry habit somewhere

[david_carnell]

Me too. My bottle of Xmas sherry (1.5lts) didn't even last until New Year let alone now.

What's you tipple Quids? I'm a fan of Sainsburys range of Amontillados and Olorosos.

[????]

Dry, white and cold - a habit picked up in Seville. I think the good quality supermarket ones are fine for my palate.

[giggirl]

January is a month of austerity chez GG. Haven't had a sherbert since New Year's Eve.

My last purchase from Green & Blue (RIP) was a bottle of sherry and I can't wait for February to open it.

[????]

Mick Mac's dry months only last about 10 days and given that as a precedent and the snow you could open it today as a 'special occasion'

[giggirl]

Nooooooooooo. It's January. My body is a temple. Come February it will revert more to "amusement park".

Wish there was a 'like' button! My husband suggested that I have a drink tonight as 'It's snowing, won't you want whisky?'!

[Ted Max]

Sherry gone. Cheap brandy bought for setting fire to, gone. Marsala bought for sauces and gravy, gone. Wine, beer, gin, all gone - obviously. Port, tragically, always the first casualty.

Survivors:

Whisky, quite a lot left to hold our hands through the nights ahead.

//Creepy Nigel Slater//

The emergency, shop-bought Christmas pudding is still in its dischordant red crinkly wrapping, with a best-before date of about 2028 protecting its modesty. And animal fats, poured off various roasts, sit solidly in little pots at the back of the fridge - globular relics of the slaughtered beasts we feasted on, pulled crackers over, picked apart late at night with a guilty sideways glance.

(PS Have never managed to sustain a "drinks cabinet" like proper grown up people. It's a bottle to bottle existence in the Max household. If there's booze in, it gets drunk and then we get some more when required.)

Oh yeah ? [beavis snigger..]

[Moos]

Mmm, love cold dry sherry.

InspirEd by this thread, I have just searched the remotest corners of the shit snack food cupboard. Hallelujah - a box of Ameretti.

*settles down in front of TV, Himself is out, box won't see another dawn*

[red devil]

Oh Ted! I always had you down as a Dubonnet kind of guy, avec cinnamon stick for added bohemian twist when the wife isn't looking.

Next you'll be saying you live in Peckham borders...

[Ted Max]

We'll drink most anything down here in the better postcodes, RedD. That includes the sort of weird half bottles people unload on you at house parties: advocaat, peach schnapps, drambuie, drinks with "Tropical" written on their labels, gins called things like "Medway's Old Sodomy" and the like.

Never had Dubonnet, though I do have cinamonn sticks, so I am ready to go if I can get my hands on a quarter bottle.

Moos, you have reminded me I have some weird cocoa bean type snack things kicking about. Came from Germany so they did. They are calling to me now.

[El Pibe]

Yep, a common or garden Fino is good for any occassion, probably right now a little more satisfying in Moos' tropics (not a euphemism people, calm down) than here.

Now where's that bottle of Stones Ginger Wine gone.....

[Otta]

Twiglets. Lots of Twiglets!

Have lots of Jack Daniels in the cupboard, but don't tend to drink spirits at home very much.

[Ted Max]

"Now where's that bottle of Stones Ginger Wine gone....."

Oh you *bastard*.

[????]

Quids' Hot Toddy (PP)

1 Cinnamon Stick

'Drop'* of Brandy

4 cans of Stella

*one of the ?2.99 quarter bottles does the job

Heat in a pan...or in a plastic bowl in the Microwave. Drink quickly.

Will have you out shouting at Gritter Lorries and snowballing the top deck of the 176 before you can say "'don't know what came over me m'lud"

[maxxi]

Cheesey footballs and Martini - it was that kind of Xmas - together with the remains of House of Tippler's Honeycomb liquer and a tin of something called Fiocchi di Neve which turn out to be SOFT amaretti and are disgusting.

Tonight I shall be adding spiced rum to lemsip. It's medicinal.

[Moos]

Dear God, turn your back for a second and your tropics are being discussed. I thought better of you, EP.

Ted, just finished a bottle of Gruener Veltliner and opened the next. There'll be trouble when I'm found out but it's worth it, the dry flavoursome little Austrian minx.

The Amaretti are a goner.

[Ted Max]

Made me laugh, Quids.

Moos, affect total innocence and/or blame the housekeeper. Sack her if necessary.

Then get some Somerset Maugham down ye (this is not a cider, Quids).
