Hardly ever go to M&S to buy food, what yummy things do you all recommend?

[bigchris]

Because I'm going tomorrow!

Melt in the middle chocolate pudding
The proper chicken Kiev. (At one point they had a cheaper one as well, but it’s reformed chicken, not sure if it’s still there.)

Generally quite underwhelmed by M&S, but I do like...
Cantina tortilla chips
Bombay mix
Pink raspberry iced buns
Mountain bars

If we’re on hols & have an M&S food nearby, we might get their ready meals. The ‘balanced’ range is quite good, but not something I would buy all the time.

Fig and hazelnut bread. In fact any of the bread. The French fries. All the different mayos. The strawberry or toffee meringues. The hot cross buns.

Butternut squash ravioli. I had it last week and it was lovely

The collection Lasagna.
Handcrafted Melton Mowbray pork pie
Their bacon is really good. The 2 for a fiver stuff.
Their spring rolls are the best out there.
Wine. Currently 1/3 off some nice ones.

Lemon cheesecake, chocolate covered Brazil nuts, cheese taster crisps, southern fried chicken pieces.

Oh and their pistachio cookies

Chocolate and salted caramel
Hot x buns.

I second the hot chocolate fudge pudding - we’ve just had one for pudding tonight and OMG it is delicious!
I also really like their boneless ribs.

Cookie Dough Bites
Their various flavoured knock off Walnut Whips

creamy mash
hot cross buns
naan bread
mini poppadums
deli stuff

Chococcino muffins! I can eat an entire pack! If you're gluten free they do a great gluten free pasta range in the fresh food aisle

They do these little mini Cumberland sausages that are bbq flavour, I do them in the slow cooker in a beef gravy with a bit of smoky paprika added

Their gluten free stuff is pretty consistently good- I like the scones and the New York cheesecake.

Super green salad is delicious and lots of the deli meats are good but £££.

I find their fruit tastes better than other supermarkets’ so usually look for grapes, satsumas, strawberries etc .
I also like their thoughtfulness to gluten free as it’s easy to find gf sausages, chicken goujons and lasagne
Also love that their bread has no preservatives (or I don’t think it does)

CHEESE TASTERS!!!
(Their version of wotsits

Oooh their chicken & Patatas bravas with garlic aioli is lush!

Own brand Jaffa cakes
Swiss whole hazelnut chocolate bars
Fizzy apple juice
Walnut bread - but the loaves are smaller than they used to be.
Cheese puffs/Wotsits type of snack.

But I've given up on their bacon, sausages and meat. Even Waitrose does cheaper varieties and M&S aren't worth the extra. Iceland fresh rump and sirloin steaks are only £3 and just as good.

Ultimate mash
Melt in the middle fishcakes
Duck with plum sauce and pancakes
Steak pie
Chocolate biscuits
Triple cooked chips (frozen)
And what they said ^

San Francisco sour dough
Roast beef and onion crisps
Cookie dough mini bites
Extremely chocolatey dark chocolate biscuits
Milk chocolate cookies from bakery
Greek yoghurt (all types)
Tuna pate

Cheddar and red lester cheese bread. In store bakery. £2 for a small loaf, but....it’s amazing.

Their fruit and veg is fresh.

Percy pigs

I can’t actually think of anything in there I don’t like. It’s all good.

Ooh yes, I forgot their hazelnut chocolate- so much better than most brands where it has changed quality IMO.

Fresh choc chip cookies
Percy Pigs
Thai style fish cakes

Cauliflower popcorn
Sticky toffee pudding (just had it. Yum yum yum!)
Malaysian rainbow curry..basically vegan butternut squash curry. It’s super lush and healthy to boot.

I adore their Florentines but they're £4 for six so I rarely indulge.
