A few holiday* related queries

What does one eat with cold meats in a buffet?

Does anyone know what the Auld Hoose is doing on Xmas day? (Or Xmas Eve or Boxing day.)

Do you like Stollen? Or some other kind of Xmas cake/pie/pudding? (No, I am not going to do a poll.) What about chestnuts?

Where in Edinburgh can I get cheap holly and mistletoe? (Please note that I am not prepared to climb over any fences)

What is everyone up to on Hogmanay?



*holiday in that hideously speshul American sense, that is

Buffet: Cold meats, cheeses, crunchy vegetables like carrot batons and peppers, chutneys and pickles, tiny pickled onions, interesting breads, things onna stick.

Crunchy veg - yes! I was trying to think of a way to get vegetables in without doing heavy salads which no one will eat.

I also think I will use Delia's idea of one hot dish of baby baked spuds with cheese.

Damn, I'm really hungry now.
