Any recommendations?

Om my list already:

Count on Us chocolate mousse
Tuna fishcakes

Beyond that I need some suggestions!

TIA.

My local doesn't have it annoyingly so I have to shop with Ocado and buy 4 at a time BlushGrin

I adore that feta dip!!! Incredibly addictive

SenoritaNaturista · 08/09/2022 18:48

The fresh green thai soup makes a great cheat sauce to add to a homemade curry…

bedtimestories · 08/09/2022 18:55

Onion rings (from the crisp Isle)

What was the trifle like

timtam23 · 09/09/2022 00:42

Pistachio and almond biscuits.
Hot cross buns.
If there is a fresh bakery section, the M&S pastel de nata are amazing. Also the sourdough loaf.
The British cherries are expensive but always lovely compared to other supermarkets.
Potato and spinach gratin.
Completely the wrong season but M&S mince pies are my favourite.

lollipoprainbow · 09/09/2022 22:04

@limitededitionbarbie the mandarin one was lovely the profiterole one was quite sickly.

Diplidocus4 · 10/09/2022 07:04

Have made a list

I really like :
Marmite butter (cream cheese is Envy)
The orange fizzy drink M&S own
Their posh fish fingers
Percys
The little freezer in the corner with the garlic bread they make from left over bread ?
Amazing !

I've now got a list !

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

I’m so glad that it’s not just me. I can decimate an entire packet in one sitting. I buy them and every time I think “just one today” and instantly prove that I have no willpower.

JustDanceAddict · 10/09/2022 07:58

Fizzy cranberry drink!
plant dirty fries & also cauliflower w dip
santini tomatoes
cornish cruncher cheese

Just popped in with a massive list to get from this thread and couldn't get 90% of it 🤦🏼‍♀️ but thought you should know @SalviaOfficinalis that redcurrant puffs were red sticker discontinued in my v large food hall. Just in case it's nationwide!

A bit boring, but also keep a couple of tins of their Lentil Daal soup in the cupboard. If a have a load of leftover veg from yesterdays dinner, I simply pour over a tin and heat through, while toasting some frozen pittas - very quick and tasty dinner

That's not boring at all. I love that idea. I'm going to pick some up tomorrow.

They still do that sandwich! At least at my hospital M&S, it's a ploughman's and actually rather nice.

It's wensleydake and carrot chutney sandwich. And you can buy the chutney from a company online. An assistant said they sometimes sell it in the shop but I've never seen it.

QuebecBagnet · 11/09/2022 17:58

Their chocolate covered rice cakes are the best rice cakes.
also love the chocolate chip pancakes.

everylittlehelp5 · 07/09/2022 14:27

Beat me to it 😂

Also check if the manager is there

Is this a genuine thing to ask for? or a joke?

MrsTxx · 11/09/2022 19:35

Can't think of the exact name but the half chocolate coated/plain shortbreads. Absolute heaven

Anamechangeisasgoodasarest · 13/09/2022 13:25

@BeachTree There was a very long thread recently by someone who had "issues" with M&S.

It was delightfully crazy.
