Christmas day shouldn’t be spent in the kitchen trying to get everything ready at once, which is why Sainsbury’s has created their ultimate failproof Christmas dinner, ready in less than 90 minutes this Taste the Difference Buttermilk Turkey Crown with Maple Cured Bacon.

But if plant-based delights are more up your street, then the UK supermarket has your backs covered with its No Beef Wellington a Mushroom and peat protein joint with tender leaf spinach, rich mushroom, and port wine all wrapped in a golden crisp puff pastry.

The trend for grazing boards is going nowhere fast especially when you take a look at this Taste the Difference Rocking Around the Charcuter’tree, Is anyone else not going to share this?…

A cheese board made easy? yes, please! Taste the Difference Cheesemonger Selection includes a spread of festive cheeses including Barbers Farmhouse Extra Mature Cheddar, Fior Delle Apil, Mon p’tit Creamy, Truffle Gouda and Blue D’auvergne.
