M&S foodhall

[PyjamaFan]

I'm going to a bug M&S foodhall tomorrow, for the first time in about a year.

Any recommendations?

Om my list already:

Count on Us chocolate mousse
Tuna fishcakes

Beyond that I need some suggestions!

TIA.

Those little raspberry jam filled iced buns with pink icing. They come in packs of five and they are perfection. They have been a nice of mine since I was 5 years old.

We can't get through the food hall without picking up a bag of mini oat biscuits (they are about a pound).

I want an iced spiced bun now, they were my breastfeeding snack with a pot of tea in the cafe

I love their cheese bread from the bakery and yes, yes, to £1 butter biscuits. Fruits are definitely nicer especially strawberries, kiwis and plums (should be in atm) . The sausages range is very interesting. The lamb one and the chicken one both are very delicious. Look out for jams - they often have something unusual.

The chocolate orange biscuits, and the honey sausages off the picnic section

The chicken, leek and ham hock pie. Thing of dreams.

Those round very chocolatey biscuits.

Colin - yes cake, obvs, but I also love those sour fizzy Colin sweets (I was completely addicted to these when I was pregnant, 'fizzy fish' in those days)

Imo M&S Earl Grey tea is the nicest EG tea, better than Twinings etc.

In the frozen section I get the bags of croissants/pan au chocolat, great to have in the freezer, and the bags of prechopped fresh ginger and garlic.

D1 and I love the Plant Kitchen cauliflower popcorn.

The sourdough bread is delicious.

Which we know won't be the steak cut chips as nobody who works there ever recommends them. Such a failing.

chicken and broccoli pie is nice-unfortunately sold out in mine

their chocolate is quite nice

Any type of pie. Always much nicer than any other supermarket!

my sort of list 😂

The Moroccan hummus topped with whole chicken peas; mountain chocolate bar (like Toblerone but better) and/or Swiss chocolate; I love their ready made hollandaise sauce as it's a PITA to make yourself.

*chick peas, obviously!

Pineapple and coconut ice lollies
Sweet potato tortilla chips
Mexican layered dip
Muscat grapes
Salted caramel rice cakes (I usually loathe rice cakes)
Eves puddings (and some custard)
An egg, tomato and salad cream sandwich

Have you got a sparks card? I currently have an offer of £10 off a £40 shop, assuming that will be available for everyone with a sparks card! Worth signing up for.

Oh god these are addictive. Ate most of a packet on my own in a PMT binge

Pretzels from the bakery, their baguettes are really good too.

Basically drooling reading this list, I miss living in a place with an M&s!

I use scan and shop. Easy to set up. Then you can check the price.

Only prob is you still have to weigh loose fruit and veg at the tills so just go for the junk food!

I always feel guilty when I've paid on the phone and just walk out though even though that's what it's for!!

The M&S jaffa cakes in peach/passionfruit and lemon/lime, are delish.

Tinned rice pudding.
Definitely those pink iced buns with jam in the middle!

Check the fruit for mould. This wasn't the first time either. I honestly don't know why I go back!

Sadly not all offers the same! I don't have that one

Why have I never had this in my life?

It sounds divine, I need to go and find a bigger M&S (mine has a medium size food hall but no feta dip)

Agree with jaffa cakes, I will only eat M&S jaffa's, they have more orange jelly.

Also the choux buns - delightful and the cheese bread is perfect.

Can't think of anything else that hasn't already been mentioned.

Redcurrant puffs… very moreish.

I've been known to eat a whole pack at once 🫢
