After looking forward to some great Christmas recipes (Feast, 29 November), I was somewhat disappointed with the first one “raw vegetables and olive oil”. Now I am not much of a cook, but even I do not need a recipe for that. What next, “peeled orange”?

• Tesco’s choice for Christmas: mushroom wellington (Feast, 29 November). Wasn’t that the dish an Australian woman used to poison her family? Tuck in. It’s fine.

• Well, Nigel Farage has suggested that he will boycott the BBC (Farage turns on broadcasters over racism allegations as number of claims hits 28, 4 December). Thank you, Santa. Just a chocolate orange as well and that’s my Christmas presents sorted.

• One year I told my son that I would put a sprout in each one of the drawers, and that by the 24th there’d be enough for Christmas dinner (Why did I ever buy my kids refillable advent calendars?, 2 December). I never did … Bad mum.

• Well, of course snail farms are run by shell companies (The snail farm don: is this the most brazen tax avoidance scheme of all time?, 4 December).
