    I do like Fruit cake. It seems to be disappearing from the shelves, like Genoa fruit cake.
    However, we have the ultimate fruitcake season soon upon us. :D
    Last year the OH bought a small Lidl Christmas cake - the bog standard one. On the same day and unknown to me, I went in and bought the Lidl deluxe version - almost twice the price but still reasonable. It was like chalk and cheese and the deluxe one was so good, I went and bought another. The remains of the other the kids got. This year, they have brought out one that has Cognac in it in the Deluxe range.

    Love Xmas cake and pud.
    Does Stevo know his way to Lidl'? I believe he is a dedicated Waitrose man.

    Do you still have to wear grey tracky bottoms to shop in Lidl?

    People in Jags and Range Rovers go to Lidl nowadays.

    Yes but he only goes there on knicker sniffing opportunities.

    Best to leave them on, I believe.

    This is a Dundee cake that Mrs H3 has made. It's pretty good. I like fruitcake too. Christmas pud is also good.

    Yep, Dundee cake, good for Mrs H3 - well done. I did say that we were coming to your house for christmas.
    Christmas pud with double cream for me - not Brandy butter, too sweet.
    Double cream is perfect with Christmas pud. I stick a dollop of brandy butter on a hot mince pie.
    Lidl have good german sausages, reasonably priced charcuterie and quite interesting wine, which is frequently deeply discounted, as no-one buys it.

    Never seen Stevo in there mind you. But there's some hot Polish sorts in the Morden one.

    There is a Lidl not far from us for students, dolies and tightwads.

    It's frowned on in the Waitrose car park.
