Tipsy Partridge in a Pear Tree Eggs 140g

5 gently salted caramel eggs and 5 hazelnut praline eggs, plus 2 golden chocolate pear liqueurs.

Expiry Date: May 31, 2026

10 chocolate eggs with 2 liqueur pears! You may ask how there comes to be a partridge in a pear tree in the Christmas song? One explanation is that the French for partridge is ‘perdrix’ (pronounced ‘pear-dree’) so we are really singing ‘partridge in a partridge’. But that doesn’t quite work so well…in any case this is certainly one of our best selling Christmas lines
“The Red-Legged Partridge was first introduced to Britain from France in the late seventeenth century. He is a sociable bird and enjoys the company of family and friends, Young fledglings remain in the family groups long after they are fully gr
own.”
Words and illustrations by Madeleine Floyd, author and illustrator.
