After many taste tests husband goes with Branston baked beans.  I have to admit that on a slice of toast they're not bad!

[snowdrops]

No, no I just like things to taste of what they’re supposed to!

Branston baked beans are the best nowadays, IMO. The others are too sweet (or don't have enough salt now that it's on the naughty list)
I love a good trifle but even the Bird's custard I always made to go in it, seems to bear no resemblance to what it used to be

Talking about blasts from the past, we have turkey twizzlers back in at work and they have released a Christmas special cranberry one.  Not my immediate thought for the big day - oh I must have turkey twizzlers, but I guess they will be popular amongst some age groups   

Anyone else a little perturbed by the mini food trend?  Our party food offerings get more odd every year.  I like the tempura prawns and some of the other favourite party nibbles, but the mini stuff makes me twitch a bit.  Mini fish and chips cones, mini hotdog roll ... even some weird mini pizza pasty with pepperoni in - hmmmmmmm

Hello Crosse &Blackwell and Branston baked beans are  the same  just depending on where they're bought I've just googled them  jezza

THose party nibbles were quite good when I went to other firms' evening bashes...

One particular fave was a mini Yorkshire with roast beef!

Anything vol-au-vent was usually a good bet, but they always squirted prawn sauce inwards, so the dry-cleaning bill went up every New Year!

Agree about the prawns too, News!

(And I remember having quite a few of these 'nibbles' in a very posh London Hotel one Christmas. All went well, until I tripped over a tiny step in the foyer on the way out! Those delicacies sure packed a 'punch')...

Oh yuck !!!!!

[GraciesGran]

too ghastly to contemplate.

[Growster...]

Very topical...

Mrs Growster has made about a million of these over the years, they used to fly off the shelves at her parents' pub, and her method has never changed!

...Only the crisps have!
