Marks and Spencer’s foodhall, what would you buy?

[TheDuchessofDukeStreet]

Need some ideas for dinner tomorow and snacks. Recomendations please.

I like the 4 cheese ravioli, buy the Indian and Chinese meals when they have their £10 offer on, plus there's a few other bits and pieces I buy.

I never understand though why people say their fruit is the best and lasts ages in the same sentence. To me, that means it's been grown with more chemicals to make it last longer and look nicer. In fact, I think there was an old survey showing M&S fruit and veg had more chemicals in them, not sure if it is the same now. It's the one place I won't buy fruit and veg unless organic. I'd rather buy Lidl organic veg even if it goes off quicker - surely that means there's fewer preservatives on/in it.

Madagascan vanilla custard and extremely chocolatey Swiss roll. Eaten together is heaven! I love the custard cold!

I said it’s the best fruit. It lasts longer than Lidl which is normally mouldy by the time I get home. If I buy fruit in Lidl I throw loads away. It’s bruised and mouldy. I don’t think it’s due to preservatives, I think they buy it at a different stage of ripeness.

To me it lasts as long as I expect it to. I grow my own veg so I know fresh veg,

Granola squares from the bakery

DS favourite is the pulled pork sausage rolls. Might have Hog in the name somewhere.

From the crisps section, their mini poppadums and prawn crackers. From the curries section, garlic and coriander naans.

Oh, and Welsh cakes.

The posh pizzas are good.
The Plant Kitchen Cauliflower Popcorn (little battered nuggets of cauli) is delish.

I bought two tins of Pina Colada today in the back of this thread 🍹

I've only skimmed, but have I skimmed 2 1/2 pages and not seen a mention of the M&S more chocolate than biscuit chocolate biscuits?!

@nocoolnamesleft totally with you on the Apricot pastries.

I agree with BloomingHydrangea

Definitely overpriced. Not at all keen on the Chinese takeaway. Sainsbury’s is better. Actually Aldi is better.

Victoria sponge 😍
Honey roast ham crisps

Their sliced ham is delicious for sardines.
Extra chocolatey chocolate rounds (mouth is watering at the thought as I'm on a diet)
Any of their tinned curries.

Sarnies, not sardines

I can take or leave most of it, but their berries are better than anywhere else, the popcorn cauliflower is lovely and I like their cheese & onion croquettes. I rarely buy much else, except for flowers.

The smoked spiced proscuitto and cheese rollitos, part of the 3 for £7 tapas and I just get three packs of them - too good.

Low fat chocolate mousse- no other shop sells one that is suitable for vegetarians!

The caramel and chocolate coated popcorn if they still do it. The blonde chocolate is nice too.

Butter Chicken, pilau rice and the garlic naan breads. The curry is lush!

Cheese scones form the bakery.
