My favorite opinion on the subject.

As far as I can tell, schmaltz is more like dripping (which was indeed eaten on toast back when my parents were growing up).

Think of paste more like peanut butter in terms of application.
Perhaps described as a cheap & cheerful form of pate.

Hope you enjoy the haul Zips.
This is by no means the best the UK has to offer, but I tried to include things that have been discussed in the Cellar, that you probably haven't had before and that fit the budget. Phew!
Paste
Selection pack
Christmas Pudding
Mince pies (except they are no longer made with meat here, as discussed elsewhere
Spotted Dick - loads of posts, really!
Tea

Merry Christmas!

I liked that article SteveDallas.

The subject of Saying Merry Christmas in the times of political correctness would make a great thread for debate.

Woo! A present for me from Arkansas!! In a boot box, so you know it's authentic. But what's this? I'm sensing a theme here...

I debated for quite awhile over whether the "cereal" killing was an intentional pun on the death of gluten in my house, or just a classic Zippy spelling. Still not sure. But nonetheless, I examined the first piece of evidence in this unsolved murder...

Bloody rags--and not just rags, but cock rags! Lovely. And after I'm done cleaning up the blood from my vicious crime, just in case I nicked a finger or two... An awesome gift in a very entertaining layout. Thanks again, zip! Merry Christmas!
