[Fruit&2veg]

I love xmas....... but at xmas. Not several months before bah humbug! A week or so before and I'm away with the best of you!!!

With you all the way on this-Trouble is by the time it arives its been flogged to death.

Here's something to look forward to - there'll be Easter eggs in the shops by January!

*smacks self in head*
I forgot all about mulled wine, and advocat, and baileys, and hot chestnuts......there's more but I've only just got up so my brain isn't functioning well.

advocat. mmmmmmmm. Had a glass the other night. *Scccccccccccccccccccccchlurrrrrrrp*

[veggiechicken]

That's not the same bottle of Advocaat that was circulating through all the Cardiff parties that I went to in the 60s, is it? Nobody was desperate enough to drink it and it got taken along to the next party each time - and rejected! I always wondered where it ended up.

[chris]

Probably, it's been open for about 4 years. I read the bottle and it said best consumed within 6 weeks of opening.

Perhaps that's why I had a dodgy stomach and not the biscuits then?

[taff]

you obviously weren't as committed to the booze as I was, otherwise the advocat would have disappeared within one party

[veggiechicken]

Nobody was that desperate. We sophisticates were drinking Bulls Blood, Blue Nun and Mateus Rose, or Cider and blackcurrant or cider and cherry brandy when the Ribena ran out!

oooooo...I think it was black tower when you wanted to be posh in the eighties for us or thuinderbird if you were deperate [or the advocat ]

Saw some Advocaat flavoured truffles in Aldi t'other day. LadyWayne asked me what flavour is that? I couldn't pinpoint it. "Alcoholly" was the best I could do...

I remember being a youngster (norty I know) and drinking a bottle of Red label Thunderbird at a house party once. Can't even smell the stuff these days.

HW...I've heard Advocaat described as 'custard for boozers!!!!'

Snowball ( Babysham) and shandy were the only drinks I was allowed at Xmas as a teenager.
I really love an occasional Advocaat with 3 cherries over the festive season. Mind you- I don't think I've had one for several years!!!
Hmm- I wonder if you can buy that over here????

[HeyWayne]

Chroist! Just realised I'm at near 12,000 posts....!

[taff]

what better time to celebrate with an advocat?
my father used ot make us snowballs with advocat, lime cordial and lemonade. I still remember the resulting sticky spit from that....
