Just wondering what food related items everyone get this year, either something to please one's tastebuds or kitchen tools & utensils.

I got some salmon and duck pates, sesame crackers,4 types of honey and a variety of very nice chocolates and chocolate bars?

I got a hamper from my mum who lives in Oz.

Got one box of chocs and one a tin of biscuits.

I love kitcheny things but ended up with a lot of useful electrical equipment!

I got a delicious Green and Black's chocolate leaves selection box and a block of Cadbury's Dairy Milk Turkish Delight, both of which I just adore.

I got a blender/grinder from my American girlfriend, she picked up on when I was over there at Thanksgiving and she was making smoothies that I said she was getting me addicted! And also when she wanted to get me some "Christmas blend" Coffee to bring home she asked if I had a grinder.

she ordered it from Argos online, she wasasking me which days I would be home and I had no idea what she was getting.

I got a Professional Wok and the Wagamama cookbook. Should keep me busy.

Lots of Hotel Chocolat stuff, which I was quite pleased about!

Chocolates and I don't eat them

well a toaster.

i also got a luxury tower hamper (costco) it has luxury mince pie, chocolates, truffels, shortbread, amaretto biscuit's, panettona (sp? cake thing)

all in 6 boxes arranged from largest to smallest - it must be about 4 feet high.

Do you want my address?

I guess I got a food related christmas pressie. My husband has given me a choice out of 2 presents : 2 weeks Australia - Sydney area or a meal at Heston Blumental's The Fat Duck with 2 nights stay in the area (we live in France)

What a dilemma ! I haven't made a choice yet. Can you all help me decide.

Fat Duck!! Fat Duck!! Fat Duck!! Fat Duck!! Fat Duck!! Fat Duck!!

Go to sydney and find some great restaurants!!

You must go to Australia!!!!!!

I got an omelette pan and a lidded casserole dish

I'd love to go to the Fat Duck, but 2 weeks in Australia is a mile better.

I had loads of vegan choccies but going on a diet in the new year!!

You could always throw a box in my direction, if it'll help you out... !!

Hehe! I've justified eating them by saying I will have one a day for a 'treat'! lol If an apple a day can keep the doctor away then why not a choccie a day?

Just back from Sydney, so I know what my choice would be. There are so many fantastic restaurants there, plus the weather at the moment is lovely and warm.

I have a very generous, thoughtful partner who gave me:
a gorgeous German made pressure cooker
a collapsible silicon funnel
a ring pull tin opener
a cast iron tortilla press - plus tortilla flour and a basket
Peter Gordon's Vegetable cookbook
Lorna Sass's vegetarian pressure cooker cookbook
a book on veggie soups and a book on hummus
Denis Cotter's Wild Garlic, Gooseberries & Me
Flatbreads & Flavours (my current favourite now)
Godiva chocolates
(plus CD's, DVD's, novels and various other bits & pieces)
Aren't I a lucky, lucky girl!

You are very lucky, but it is nice to be spoilt on occasions isnt it

I got a box of biccies as a present but this year, I actually made foody presents to give to people. I made homemade fudge (two types, milk chocolate and pistachio and white chocolate and almond) and homemade chocolate covered honeycomb. I packaged them in cellophane bags with some ribbons and stickers and they went down a treat.
