The Best Of: Christmas Food 2019

We all know how much I love food, roast dinners in particular. I mean, I do go on about it an awful lot and have even reviewed a Christmas meal, so you won't be surprised that today's post is alllll about Christmas food.

When November rolls around, the festive food catalogues start being distributed and here at the Martin household we all start picking the bits and pieces we'd like to order ahead of the big day. This year we've got five of the brochures so I figured I'd collate all of the good bits into one place for you, you're welcome. (Update: it's actually four, I didn't rate the selection Morrisons had at allllll)
