Food things worth the extra money.

I brought a loaf of fresh bread from the bakery today as a treat over our normal supermarket loaf. It's twice the price at £2 a loaf but tastes soooo much better.

I'm tempted to make this a permanent bread arrangement.

Free range eggs and chicken
Kellogg's cornflakes
Yorkshire Tea
Branston beans

Nothing else matters 😁

[PolaDeVeboise]

Lurpak, Hellmans, Branston Beans, decent parmaesan, decent chocolate and, vitally, squash with no sweeteners.

[movingonup20]

Bread definitely though I can make the best bread imho

[hunchicklove]

Organic eggs
Kerrygold butter or Lancashire salted butter
Booths coffee beans
Sourdough bread
Maldon salt
Mutti tomatoes and purée
Waitrose jar capers
Waitrose deli artichokes
Aldi nocorella olives
Belton white aged Leicester cheese

[Gingangoolee]

IntermittentParps agree re tea pigs Brew Tea co English breakfast is also lovely and worth the £

[IntermittentParps]

Gingangoolee, Earl Grey Strong has been a revelation!

Eggs. Really good ones, with a deep golden yolk. The richness is on a totally different pane to cheap eggs.

Sunday roast - busy from local butcher
Fruit

[LemonSquirtInTheEyeOfLife]

Himalayan pink salt. Intrigued about other kinds of posh salt though.
Also fresh ground pepper. I'm partial to a pepper mix with other spices in - allspice, coriander & various colours of peppercorns.
Salted butter (can be the cheap own brand stuff, but NO to margarine or "spread")
Branston beans
Hot chocolate - I make my own from real dark good quality chocolate. No instant crap.
Squash with no sweeteners.
Sourdough rye bread.
Tomatoes. Especially in winter - cheap tomatoes in winter taste of absolutely nothing.
Raw local honey. I just can't eat "normal" honey any more, it tastes so bland & overly sweet. I buy one jar a year, as a treat.
Longley Farm cottage cheese. Even the fat free is nice.

@haba & @Ariela - try Longley Farm, they do a lovely blackcurrant yoghurt. No artificial sweeteners.

[FrauFreud]

Godminster cheddar
Olive oil
French butter with sea salt
Mutti tomatoes
The Pished Fish smoked salmon

[haba]

Thanks @LemonSquirtInTheEyeOfLife - I grew up with longley farm products, but I can't find them now I live further south.

Longley Farm?

[cricketmum84]

@Hoppinggreen it's made in Yorkshire so really only found oop north. By eck it's worth it though 😂

[SendHelp30]

You can buy Longley farm products in these Morrison’s stores

[SendHelp30]

And these :)

[Hoppinggreen]

Sorry cricketmum, not what I meant. It’s produced local to me so I am familiar with it ( and I agree it’s reet good).
That poster said her family firm had been mentioned and I was asking if it was Longley Farm

[goose1964]

Marmite, supermarkets own brands taste nasty

[donewithitalltodayandxmas]

Heinz beans and ketchup

[FrankGrillosFloof]

Another Longley Farm cottage cheese fan - delicious in its own right and also, as I’ve just discovered, with jam.

@WhatAreWordsWorth

I received some Mutti Polpa tinned tomatoes in my shop as a substitute a few months ago and now I won’t buy anything else. They’re perfect for everything.

Cherry tomatoes are also worth shelling out for, in my experience.

Agree about Lurpak.

This about the tomatoes. Really good and I also won't buy others now.

[FrankGrillosFloof]

I’m in London and get Longley Farm cottage cheese in my local shops (independent, not supermarkets).

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

Lurpak
Marmite
Jaffa cakes

[Elllicam]

Definitely vine cherry tomatoes and nutella. I bought a substitute nutella the other week and it was all hard and difficult to spread.

[NeonSparkle]

O I have to agree about tinned tuna - cheap tuna is horrific fishy mush and I can’t even stand John west or princes tuna steak, I will only eat finest tinned tuna steak - costs about 5x as much as standard tuna but I just can’t stand it! Randomly Asda used to do an amazing finest range one in vacuumed sealed pouch, it was absolutely beautiful but I believe they discontinued it (at least I’ve not been able to find it for the last few years)

[SophieB100]

Heinz ketchup
Hellman's mayo
Yorkshire tea
Colman's mustard
Marmite
Robinson's jams
HP sauce


Can cope with any other brands, as long as I use these staples.
