    Panettone as economic indicator.

    Every year I go to Brunswick to buy xmas panettones and other treats. They are usually sold out by the 1st week of Dec . This year prices are up again and the shelves were still full. Talking to another customer she was telling me they just can’t afford it, entertaining family and friends they buy quite a few and that would quickly add up to close to $200 each event.

        My family used to gift fruitcake at Xmas. These things weighed multiple kilos, were damn near solid fruit, and could almost get you drunk by smell. The cost now would be mindboggling!

      Panettone is gag. I’ve tried and I’ve never liked it.
