What is nutrament?
I don´t think I´ve ever had eggnog, sounds revolting. Have any of you ever tried Guinness punch? A friend of mine from Jamaica used to get his mum to make it for us. It is like a pint of baileys, so yummy. I found this recipe for it on the net.
I know most of us avoid alcohol but if you leave out the rum at least the Guinness has a lot of iron in it. I don´t like straight Guinness, but this is wonderful!
Ingredients
1 large tin guiness
170 g evaporated milk
1 tin nutrament or nourishment
1 tsp vanilla essence
pinch nutmeg
pinch cinnamon
milk to taste
60 ml white rum (optional)
I love shortbread, it is just butter and sugar, what´s not to like? But I agree completely about Christmas cake!! Just too dry and too much fruit. I love Stollen though, it is from Germany and is more bread like but with marzipan running through the middle, and it is traditional for Xmas so I eat that instead.

Ooooh, normally I'd agree about the fruitcake, but there's a monastery of Trappist monks in Kentucky who make cake that will change your religion - it's that good. There's nothing dry about it, and the raisins are plump and juicy.
Gethsemani Farms, it's called. The cake is doused in Kentucky bourbon.
Ack if there's one thing worse than squishy dried fruit, it's food with alcohol in it.
I like food and alcohol, but not together
No way, when you said "juicy raisins" I nearly had a mouth spew
The monks in Britain make a drink called "Buckfast" it's a tonic wine with 18x the caffeine content of RedBull and a goodly whack of alcohol in it, it's the drink of choice among young hooligans (or "neds" as we call them in Glasgow). It's a nice little earner for those monks
Ovebun, did you give that DH a roasting last night??!!
