Coffee, no point unless it's real coffee. No messing about with instant muck.

Butter!

ClinkyMonkey · 07/11/2018 16:25

Decent cherry tomatoes. Some of the cheaper ones have leathery skins and don't taste of anything.
Fruit juice not from concentrate.

IAmGrootGrootGroot · 07/11/2018 16:56

@ClinkyMonkey ooh yes, agree with you on cherry tomatoes. Some of the more expensive ones are delish.
Have you tried Asda's Tomkin ones? Not sure if they still do them but they were beautiful

Organic, free range eggs. Good quality bread.

Raven88 · 07/11/2018 17:00

Eggs, I like the ones with the blue shells that are a bit pricey.

CheeseTheDay · 07/11/2018 17:25

Have to have Yorkshire Tea, nothing else will do.

Baked beans have to be Branston. Supermarket own brand just don't cut it, and Heinz are poor in comparison to Branston.

Going against the run of comments but I loathe Lurpak! Greasy oily stuff that has an "off" aftertaste to me. Much prefer Le Presidente or Kerrygold.

For me it's good dark chocolate, decent coffee, locally grown strawberries in season, local rapeseed oil instead of olive oil, and proper lemon curd or marmalade. I can slap on any old strawberry jam but I'm very fussy about marmalade 🤔

shiningstar2 · 07/11/2018 17:50

butter must be block good quality and not spreadable
Bacon
Jam
Peanut butter
chocolate

LemonBreeland · 07/11/2018 17:51

Eggs from my own chickens. Hate having to buy them. My other on is coca cola

Dandelion1980 · 07/11/2018 18:09

Beans absolutely have to be Branston beans and I’m surprised I’m the only one to say this so far!

goingtotown · 07/11/2018 18:17

Blue Lungo Nespresso coffee pods.

beela · 07/11/2018 18:18

timeforachangemethinks · 07/11/2018 18:19

@IAmGrootGrootGroot Asda still do those tomatoes, I bought some today and they are definitely delicious!

For me it has to be lurpak butter, everything else I’ll try what’s on offer!

Tattybear16 · 07/11/2018 18:22

Coffee, just that, I can make do with anything else.
