It’s the fortnight before Christmas and all through the world’s Catholic convents, nuns and monks are extra busy preparing the traditional delicacies they sell to a loyal fan base even in rapidly secularizing countries.
For many monastic communities, especially those devoted to contemplative life and with vows of poverty, producing cookies, fruitcakes, even beer for sale is the only means to keep the lights on.
Supermarkets in the UK and Europe are offering more own-brand festive food from roast duck to truffle crackers as cash-strapped families spend on Christmas meals at home while cutting down on gifts and eating out.
Festive meals are being prioritized as inflation forces households to adjust their budgets, executives and market analysts say. For some grocers, it's a chance to upsell to consumers that can afford to splash out during the holidays.
