I also forgot to add that they also have something called black cake over here as well - it's basically a fruit cake that is stuffed full with raisins, currants, sultanas, cherries, prunes and dates that have been soaked in rum for months and is gorgeous.
For drinks there is sorrel juice - which is a case of taking the red leaves off a sorrel bush and soaking them in water for a good few hours (or if not longer) to get all the flavour and it's absolutely gorgeous - non-alcoholic as well..but saying that the local brewery do do a sorrel flavoured shandy which is nice as well.
For those of you that buy poinsettia trees/bushes from the shops around this time - they grow wild over here..my parents have one in their garden!!!
Daddy h2o - the correct chanukah greeting - "Happy Hanukah". But hanukah finished on the 12th
