I like regular icing but not royal icing. But I don't like fruitcake of any kind anyway (I like fruit but tend to struggle with dried fruit as an ingredient in sweet things; I like it in savory food fine!) so it's easy for me to just ignore the whole thing as it's all cursed. As is trifle, you're so right there. :)

Scalloped corn is my contribution to the festive menu; my family need to have it at thanksgiving and Christmas; it was the only vegetable my cousin would eat when we were kids (or maybe it still is, for all I know, heh) and it's a favorite with a lot of the family except for people like my mom who hate it. But my mom doesn't like dairy of any kind so never likes creamed vegetables which this is based on.

Our house has a range of milks (including goat milk for Gary! who also couldn't have much lactose :) but this "his milk" was such a treat for him and really helped get some calories into him when he wasn't very interested in eating): cow, soy, oat, occasionally almond but not any more I think, and I feel fortunate that I can have any of them and none seem to affect my taste buds or digestion in a negative way!
