The Laboratory

With only 10 eating shopping days until Christmas, it's time for a roundup of Christmas food news. Top tip for the festive season is Zum Fest, a continental selection of biscuits, lebkuchen and chocolates: Sarah got one of the best Secret Santas ever, not only some Percy Pig sweets, but also some socks! You may be sick of my complaints about Maltesers, and how their advent calendar doesn't contain ANY, not even on the 24th! Teaser indeed! Well, the controversy from the States is that the Reece's Peanut Butter Christmas Tree ... doesn't look like a tree! What do you think?

Anniversary Flashback: 2006 Every year we'd keep coming back to the same themes - nativity scenes, tacky gifts, other Advent Calendars ... Adam still feels aggrieved by this one. And can you guess what annoyed him about something he spotted in Sainsbury's this year? Yes! There's only 2 small packets of Maltesers in there - that's 25% of the whole thing. In no way can that be labelled Maltesers selection pack! To see all of the pictures from 2006, download the file:  2006pictures.zip
