What is your biggest holiday food weakness? Mine is the German potato salad my mom makes every year and SpΓ€tzle. (google the SpΓ€tzle if you don't know what it is. ) Of course cookies and chocolate is another one. My sisters both make cookies and they each make awesome cookies.

Mince pie. Mom loves PfeffernΓΌsse cookies during the Christmas holiday so I always try to find some for her. Never had mince pie. My mom loves those too. And she also loves Lebkuchen. My sister just bought over some German goodies from Aldi. When my mom's mom (Oma) was alive she would send us all these German goodies for Christmas. If you have an Aldi store where you live check there. They carry some German stuff.

When my mom's mom (Oma) was alive she would send us all these German goodies for Christmas. If you have an Aldi store where you live check there. They carry some German stuff. Traditional mincemeat pie included spiced mutton and suet along with fruit but modern mince pie just has dried fruits like raisins, currents, apricots, candied citrus peel and sometimes diced apples. Lots of spices and usually rum or brandy. It's not for everyone and in my case, it's all about the season. I wouldn't choose it any other time of the year. I have an Aldi about a quarter of a mile away. I do much of my shopping there. The price of milk and eggs is incredibly low and the quality of their milk is far better than all other places near me. Their Belmont brand ice cream is very good and much cheaper than name brands at other stores. For other items you need to learn what's good and what to avoid. Iirc, I bought their house brand (Winternacht) PfeffernΓΌsse cookies for mom in the past and they were pretty good. But she likes the Archway brand a little better. I can usually find those at Meijer this time of year, but the Aldi brand will be a backup plan.

Do you know if you can order online from Meijer? If so I might have to order stuff from them for my mom. Good thing you have a back-up plan. I usually never do. Now this is making me hungry for German stuff.

My mil makes a great ham dinner -- I love green beans, ham, and scalloped potatoes. Yum yum!
Popcorn balls, gingerbread cookies.

RetreadOh, thanks. I'm not sure if I would like it since I never had lamb. BeckeaNot a fan of ham. But scalloped potatoes - yummy. Never had popcorn balls. Are they good? Yummy on the gingerbread cookies. I only have store bought ones since my mom doesn't know how to make gingerbread cookies herself.
