We do, except my family doesn't have that as part of our Christmas dinner! However, by the sounds of it...is sounds delish!

"Maxey Castle was built around the 1370s by William Thorpe near the village of Maxey. The castle had a double-moat, possibly designed as a flood defense, with a central keep within a bailey wall with corner towers. Today only the partial remains of the moats survive of the castle, which have scheduled monument status."
Maxey Castle (The Gatehouse Record)

I guess I would have been someone in 1370. I always thought I was a viking, but efforts to prove have been in vain.

I'm in, BoB! I'll bring the Cheese ball and wine...unless you have something else... A favorite processed food of your choice!

The delivery man just dropped off my candy from Williams and Sonoma. One will be part of a gift for my aunt and uncle and the other will be for my hubbie and I!
