I read on here the chicken is the best out of the supermarkets. I think I’ll do a chicken pasta tonight. I’m on the bus so won’t beable to carry much. Is there anything you would treat yourself with or is it all much of a muchness.

Their almond croissants, cheese from the cheese counter, jars of tiny capers in salt, Pure (own brand) shampoo, and a free cup of coffee

Frozen almond croissants are even better, 18mins on bake in air fryer. Perfect.

Frozen tarte tatin 👌🏼
Fresh custard
Hake with paprika butter ready made
Salmon en croute (better than Charlie Bingham)
Monkfish from the fish counter
Duck strips for stir fry
Whole partridges 2 in a pack
Pheasant breasts
Lamb rogan josh - best supermarket curry
Mini chocolate cupcakes

Ooooooh I can feel an amendment to my Christmas order coming on!

The smoked hummus is amazing! Ditto the beetroot and mint. And I second the brown butter mince pies!

The only two things I specifically buy from Waitrose are their seafood cocktail sandwiches (there is a branch which happens to be near where I work), and lemon-infused olive oil, although I haven't bought that for some time and the last time I looked I couldn't find any so I don't even know if they stock it any more.

Hemp oil 'Good Hemp'. It's the only place that sells it nowadays. Delicious in pasta sauces and sooo good for you

I got one of everything but no shortbread in stock☹️ or those cinnamon twirls.

I'm imagining you leaving having snagged a lift in a delivery van, a couple of Lulu Guinness and Sara Miller bags hanging nonchalantly from the door. Hope you have a great feast!

I’m still feeling sickly from the chemo and can’t do food straight from the fridge but those eclairs are begging me. It’s only 8am😀

Sorry to hear about your chemo.

The best Turkey imo is from Cook. You can get a stuffed breast to serve 2. Better than Waitrose or M&S.

They do an excellent dark marmalade with no bits in. I'll have some of that if you're going in please!

EachandEveryone · 04/12/2024 11:13

Here again😀
