Nice food things from m&s

Home alone without kids for the next few days. Going to treat myself to a few nice easy dinners/snacks from m&s. Am ordering from ocado so not going to the shop

What would people recommend? I don't shop there often!

Ooh that was meant for @indigoemerald! Sorry!

Not a food Puritan at all. I’ve tried several M&S ready meals on recommendation and was disappointed by all of them. Bland.

It's almost like people are different to each other and like different things.“

We’ll indeed. You and I, for example.

Their gastropub chicken Kiev and the best ever trifle would be my recommendations. Now off to m and s to try the gastropub Mac cheese people are recommending.

@MrsTerryPratchett - “spatchcocked children…”

I’m calling social services 😂😂

TheWashingMachine · 25/08/2021 21:04

I think the trifle is dire, good homemade trifle is so easy to make ND besides it must be boozy

User7458 · 25/08/2021 21:08

OP did ask for recommendations of easy meals though so she is hardly likely to want to cook from scratch.

Happy36 · 25/08/2021 21:09

Stilton
the prepared fruit salads
the ready made egg mayo
all of the hummus (and the ready cut carrot bâtons)
the apple hot cross buns
the picnic eggs

the hot poached salmon flakes, if they still do them

Dolly Mixture
the bag of chocolate caramels that are like a better, giant version of Cadbury's eclairs

Don’t forget the Percy pigs.

Eddielzzard · 25/08/2021 21:11

Gastropub steak lasagne
The Welsh rarebit cheese bake, although not sure that's on ocado, might be in store only.
Dolmades

getting hungry now

Eddielzzard · 25/08/2021 21:11

cheese coleslaw and the potato salad is great

AnnaSW1 · 25/08/2021 21:11

This!

Nice food things from m&s

The mountain bar chocolate is surprisingly good. (Contains ground hazlenuts).

indigoemerald · 25/08/2021 21:12

Ooh yes! It’s a little longer than the ordinary eclairs and has a chocolate ganache in the middle with the cream. When I’m feeling very indulgent I’ll put strawberry slices in the middle too…

LyndaLaHughes · 25/08/2021 21:13

@MrsSkylerWhite

I honestly can’t understand why people think M&S processed food is good? Homemade is generally so much tastier. Packaged food is so bland.
Why on earth would you bother commenting on this post? The OP asked for suggestions of M and S food- not sanctimonious criticism of her food choices.

@MrsTerryPratchett

Bet the ready meals are nicer than your personality.

Chocolate dribble covered popcorn slab
Prawns in chilli in the deli bit

@MrsSkylerWhite - what is the point of you posting on this thread? You're behaving like a seagull - doing a big hot white shit all over nice things. Go and do something useful instead.

NatashaRf · 25/08/2021 21:15

Chocolate coated caramel popcorn. Ugh I love it.

Now I have a new favourite phrase!!!! Thanks so much.

And thanks to the miserable home cook too I guess or else you'd never have posted the seagull comment!

Beecham · 25/08/2021 21:18

The frozen oriental prawn selection, with sweet chilli sauce to dip into.

bumblenbean · 25/08/2021 21:21

Oh god so many things!! My personal favourites are the mini chocolate orange bites / mini roll things and the lemon curd / iced buns. And the all butter chocolate chip cookies. So bloody good!!

They used to do amazing cheesy bacon wedges but haven’t seen them in a while.

UnfinishedBunting · 25/08/2021 21:24

The mushroom pappardelle is divine 💛

goteam · 25/08/2021 21:24

The mushroom bao buns and sweetcorn fritters, cheese coleslaw layered salad, chocolate pretzels, the salt and vinegar mixed snacks big bag, chocolate profiteroles.....
