Well my Christmas Day is promising to be thoroughly ****. Me, the missus, the sprogs,

eating supermarket food

Oh noes! Food from supermarkets like what the ordinary, untermensches eat!

If it's possible to die of extreme snobbery you should watch out.

Surely it's not snobbish to think that cooking is part of the fun and pleasure of Christmas?

Or are you denying a home-cooked Christmas meal is nicer in every possible way?

I think a thought you were complaining that the ingredients had been bought from a supermarket rather than your local organic artisan butcher/baker/candlestick maker

The cooking is certainly fun when other people do it imo. But some of the food that is cooked comes from the supermarket, no? Rather than from the East Finchley Organic Ethically Produced Sustainable Farmers Collective or wherever your sort gets its grub from.

Oh, yes, that would be fair, then.

Although I *would* be upset to get my ingredients from one of the less posh supermarkets. Luckily my dad works in M&S so I get a 20% discount

Yes, I'm definitely the type to care about how ethically sourced and sustainable my food is, you've nailed me there

I shop around, generally. Meat from the local butcher, bits and bobs from Waitrose (the Heston Blumenthal mince pies they did last year were mind-blowingly good), but I always load up on cheap frozen Lidl lobsters and make mini thermidor nibbles.

Can stock up in M&S on Thursday. Possibly the thing I miss most about England *
