Marzipan is foul. I'm also not keen on icing so I often strip icing/marzipan off fruit cake and just eat the cake. I can ALWAYS find someone who wants the bits I hate. Weirdly I didn't like fruitcake/Xmas cake/mince pies as a child but I do like them occasionally now. Meringues I can eat if its on its own but not IN something slimy like trifle (which is revolting).
Picking the bits you like for the win. I never had "traditional" English Christmas dinner when growing up cos Mum doesn't like cooking/eating turkey and it wasn't from her (Scottish) family tradition anyway (her dad worked on Christmas day cos it was not a big deal, they did Hogmanay as a bigger thing). We had all sorts of random food, and by the 90s we had vegetarians so Mum did things like big veggie curries and a collection of random mains to let people choose from. Mum refused to do 'stress' which is fair play to her really. In my teens we did massive church Christmas which I quite liked even tho I despised the evangelicals as it broke up the day, there was usually some interesting randoms there and I liked the principle of it. I could read my book if people tried to proselytize at me!
I haven't heard of scalloped corn before, Google suggests interesting recipes.
Annoyingly lactose intolerance affects what I can eat these days *scowl* so I shouldn't have Baileys or equivalent even tho I really like it (and sometimes have it anyway cos fuckit). Rum in hot chocolate sounds very nice.
