What should I buy from Fortnum & Mason?

Visited recently but it was packed and didn't have time to queue.
What do you love from here? I don't drink, but am a greedy gorb so would love to buy some food. Their confectionary department looked amazing but was absolutely rammed, so would particularly welcome recommendations from here. One of their tea candles was lovely (Lady Grey I think) so that's already in my basket.

MIL loves their ginger preserve.

IpanemaPeaHen · 31/12/2021 17:58

Chocolocos are a fave in this house.

Blood orange marmalade
Champagne and strawberry preserve
Balsamic jelly
Their individual marshmallows
Florentines
If you go into the store, have a hot chocolate in the parlour restaurant, it’s amazing!

If in person their scotch eggs are amazing. Online, they've alway got interesting sauces and pickles.

Their cheeses, crackers and chutney are great. Jam is lovely. Don’t bother with biscuits, I am yet to find any of theirs as good as M&S or Tesco Finest. The confectionery is good although I am not a huge fan of the truffles.

Following an ongoing Mumsnet theme, violet and rose chocolates 😋

We always get their Xmas pudding and brandy cream- which is in a jar and the most delicious thing you’ve ever tasted! Grin

Apologies it’s not brandy cream is this- cognac butter.
