Can Christmas crackers be eaten ?


The toilet roll theme continues… as I move simultaneously from advent calendars to crackers !!

The Reminiac Christmas fair is now only a week away and the organisers are keen to have all the ‘crafts’, (in my case the word craft is not really appropriate as I don’t think painted toilet rolls can really be described as craft!!) in the village hall by Wednesday. The advent calendars were finished yesterday evening.

Now for the crackers. I have tried to explain that crackers are an important part of the Christmas Day table, but the French just look at me as if I’m slightly bonkers, and ask what is the function of a cracker?, can it be eaten?
