Christmas Food Swap Thread

By ngourlay

Last year, there were a lot of people swapping food in the last couple of days before Christmas. Are you missing an essential part of your meal? Have you bought too much, and want to help someone else? If so, this is the thread for you.

I'll start off the bidding. I bought too many brussel sprouts. I have two 500g bags which, after peeling the outer leaves, are hard and bright. Lovely. I'll swap for six home-made mince pies, six slices of home-made Christmas cake, or a big lump of home-made gingerbread.

Why not just give the spare food to the poor and needy.. There must be some mechanism here..
