As title said a rare trip to M&S food for me this afternoon as I don’t often pass one…

We have a nice evening without teenagers this weekend and would love to grab a few treats to enjoy for meals and snacks to enjoy.

Already know that I want some of their lovely butter with smoked salt and a good sour dough, what else would you recommend?

Those millionaire chocolate bites in a tub are something special, as are the cookie dough bites.
Oh and the millionaire/caramel crispy bites.

Oh, and their full fat greek yoghurt is to die for. So thick and creamy.

Big tub of 10% greek yog.

it's much better than the other supermarkets tbh. obviously not as good as local bakeries etc.

Yes. But M&S threads always made on a Friday before many people go shopping, asking about treats, snacks and ready made food.. 😂🤔

The 3 for £8 deli stuff is lush, we love the honey and mustard mini sausages.

Chocolate custard creams, and cheese. Not together though.

CharlotteFlax · 07/03/2025 16:58

Marmite pinwheels and honey and mustard mini sausages. YUM!

Belgian chocolate covered cashews for pudd.

Walter the sausage dog mini rolls!

Cheese coleslaw please

Supporthelittleguys · 07/03/2025 17:11

I thought this when I went to M&S recently, ended up buying not much because the price was just eye watering! 2 chocolate eclairs (the posh ones) were like £5.50! I do really like the mushroom pappardelle ready meal & the beef and onion crisps. Mexican dip also good with nachos.

We call it the vomit dip. 😬 Because it looks like sick, but tastes nice!

Littlebitpsycho · 07/03/2025 17:14

They do some beautiful ham and cheese bites with a smoky bbq sauce dip - found with the cocktail sausages and stuff. They are incredible 😲

TheIceBear · 07/03/2025 17:15

The big daddy chocolate bar is insanely good. I could only eat a couple of bites at a time.. think there is a million calories in one bar !

Sugarcube84 · 07/03/2025 17:15

chocolate covered pistachios

chicken kievs and I love the creamed cabbage

Meal ideas?
I wouldn't recommend their mac and cheese- the refrigerated ready meal type. Someone raved about it to me, but I found it extremely bland and it had about 3/4 you daily intake of fat in it!

Do we know each other??

I love the Mac Cheese in the 'Best Ever' range - the one with the garlic crumb on top. Is that the one you tried? I have raved about it, I must admit.

They do bags of mini walnut whips! They’re yummy

That is what popped into my head!

SiobhanSharpe · 07/03/2025 17:17

Thickly coated chocolate orange biscuits. Sadly not many to a packet, though.

ParsnipPuree · 07/03/2025 17:19

Have to say their chocolate covered biscuits are to die for. I often shop there or online through Ocado.. good for out of season/exotic fruit.

Turmerictolly · 07/03/2025 17:21

I like the make in the oven salmon with soy and ginger dressing and have it with the miniature potatoes and roasted veg (I make these myself but M NS do them too). Followed by a small luxury trifle and half a bottle of the Coteaux Varois French Rose.

TheMorels · 07/03/2025 17:25

They don’t seem to stock them often, but their mushroom arancini are amazing.

Also, rarely in stock, the pornstar martini mix (not the cheap one, I think it was from their mixologist range) is amazing. I used to buy a gift bag with this, a bottle of Prosecco and a passion fruit as a gift for girlfriends.

maximalistmaximus · 07/03/2025 17:25

The blonde chocolate covered nuts.

Red pepper pitta chips to eat with Cornish vintage cheese.

Milk chocolate rounds to dunk in tea.

Iced finger buns

Apple & cinnamon hot cross buns

Swiss chocolate truffles

LaPalmaLlama · 07/03/2025 17:26

the cheese sourdough. It’s sublime.

TheIceBear · 07/03/2025 17:28

i tried the gastropub chicken forestiere ready meal recently and it was very tasty. I also love the Angus Aberdeen burgers .. rarely eat burgers at home but when I do i always go for those ones.

Salted caramel whips
