Winter warmers for gameday
One of the best things about winter is having mates around to catch up over some hearty snacks and the entertainment of a big game.
Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and smoked cheese and chilli nachos.
So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.
