my dad has a musical biscuit tin with a little handle on the side that you turn for a silent night. and we whip it out every year and refill it with our homemade biscuits. it's an important christmas tradition in our house

[@Smallpotato1965]

God, yes! My parents had one of those 'golden' musical bells which played silent night and hung from the ceiling every Christmas. One of my earliest memories is being lifted up to make it play before going to bed. While not a fanciful child, I firmly believed that little men lived inside that clock to make that music. My parents have been dead for decades, and that bell now lives my my closet to be hung in my house during Christmas. It's important. It's not Christmas unless that bell has tingled 'silent night'. That bell is made from plastic and cardboard, and such musical bells were, apparantly, in vogue in the Fifties, when my parents married and started their family. Anyone else looking at it would see horrid tat, but to me, it's still the magical Christmas clock that four year old me was allowed to make play before going to bed.

It’s super interesting to me that hunting to you guys in the UK is seen as more of a posh thing that rich people do, whereas in the US hunting is seen as more of a country/rural thing, and the city folk are seen as the more posh and pretentious folks. Trophy hunting is still seen as pretentious here in the US, but at least in my area hunting (for food) is more of a working class rural thing.

[@CaptainSarahSparrow]

I had this exact thought.

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Its regarding stately country homes. Its not an issue of not rural vs urban.

[@princessaria]

Ingrid Dubbel I get that, I’m just talking about the class connotations. Hunting is rarely-to-never associated with stately country manors in the US. It’s associated with the rural working class.

[@zakiry8634]

You need to own land or need to get permission from the owner of the land to hunt (hard enough to find the owner of the land), depending on what you hunt you will have to be quite wealthy, in my family we live in the country side and we get all sorts of birds and rabbits through our garden so that's relatively cheap to do

[@tissot233]

Land is immensely valuable everywhere in Europe with 750 million people around similar size land mass as US (without Russia) and has been fully cultivated. Sweden and Finland are essentially the only places in Western Europe where population density is close to US and there hunting is not seen posh, while certainly not lower middle class thing either after all the permits, equipment and needing to be part of a local paid hunting organisation.

Find the frugality in the way of coffee by adding richness not in caffeinated beans but in pouring out material wealth, honour your guests with your sacrifice and show swiftness in preparation for the unexpected who pass you by. Find honesty in admitting it is nothing more than cheap instant coffee with panache. Be loyal to what otherwise is your cheap daily fare by only adding leaves to enhance its physical beauty not its physical taste. Never forget your self-control because why bother having another cup. The Bushido is strong. lastly, find the wisdom in your action to never repeat it and either brew a decent pot of coffee or buy the cheap instant and have ready supply of irish cream to fix it.

We have pheasant and venison for Christmas dinner which we get during hunting season. Commercial pheasant does NOT have lead shot since they are raised on farms and culled like chicken, turkey. What I LOVE about the marshmallow Advent calendar at $30 is its a product made by a small confectioner, NOT a mass produced factory item and the boxes can be used again for future Christmases, and it's a unique gift. For gifts we are making almond cranberry biscotti, and pistachio biscotti with one end dipped in 70% cocoa and then some wee bits of edible gold. Sheets of edible gold are affordable and make for a fun addition to cake, cookie decorations.

@@MrEmigliore I am in the states they said bread so I thought they would know better than I. Either way there's no way I'm paying €200 ($263.88 USD) for a baked good.

In the US, hunting has a completely different connotation.

[@Loveleedia]

I had the same thought, very interesting to hear that view point.

[@michaelmeis2953]

That was my thought, if you're having pheasant for Christmas or Thanksgiving in America, it's probably because you don't have any money and you just went out and shot one

[@TheCrash480]

Just in case you were interested, the reason it's viewed this way in the UK is due to what land you can/can't hunt on. Here, the only land that you're inherently allowed to hunt on is that which you own, otherwise you'd need the expressed consent of whoever owns the land. Even today it'd be a struggle to locate and contact the owners of the type of land you'd typically want to hunt on, let alone find someone willing to grant you that permission (especially given how much is government owned), but in the past it'd have been almost impossible. As a result, being able to hunt has basically become synonymous with "owning large amounts of land", or in other words, being extremely wealthy.

[@amys3168]

Good explanation, thanks! Most of what I know about non-US hunting is from fox hunting. And of course in the US, we mostly hunt on public land, during hunting season.

[@zakiry8634]

@@amys3168 fox hunting is a sport so even here it's frowned upon really, the laws have changed though; it was made where the dogs can't kill the fox they just scare it so a hawk can get to it, the dogs used to attack the fox what made it a slow death so they changed it for it to be more moral I guess.

Just for the record: Any food with gold in it, is inherently pretentious, it cannot not be pretentious. It adds nothing other than looks to the foodstuff. Also for the record, there's no way the gold leaf in that pannatone cost a £100, gold leaf is a lot cheaper than people think it is. Gold leef is extremely thin, so its kiloprice, is actually nigh on non-existant.

[@ClaudioGrieco]

And you shouldn’t pay more than €15 for an artisanal panettone

[@yadiracamacho499]

Not even looks, it's price. They could add glitter to that coffee and the visual effect would be similar, but gold looks expensive

[@lilithhedwig5408]

@@ClaudioGrieco uhm, not if you want the best (and even if you just went in your regular pasticceria I'd doubt it would be 15€ for one kilo of artisanal panettone).

at first I assumed it was a Japanese brand that was just trying to branch out into a larger market, but then I checked and......turns out it's a European company, possibly Russian. It does seem to be sold in Japan, but most of the reactions I can find are mocking it outright for being overpriced and dumb.

@@SortedFood on your side of the pond, pheasant hunting has a very different connotation. Over here in America, the Midwest, it's a standard game bird in line with duck. It's commonly served at a hunter's table next to a venison roast or similar. Seeing it elsewhere is rare even in fine dining.
