After all the politics, religion, bad news and doom mongering let's get down to the important things - anyone tried M & S's Dubai Sandwich? Chocolate flavoured bread, pistachio sauce stuff and strawberries, as far as I can see. The ingredients are all nice, so it should be all right shouldn't it?

That sound horrible, tbh! But I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

Sod the sandwich and go straight for the pistachio Big Daddy.

No - but I can recommend M&S Mountain Bar! My favourite! ⛰️

I don't see the point, why not buy a cake, it's just a novelty cake I guess.

Well there's bread involved, albeit chocolate flavoured. I don't know where I got "Dubai" from though, I must have made that bit up. I missed out on the strawberries and cream one last year so I'd like to try it!

Fucking dubai anything needs to gtf. Bastard marzipan tasting shite. Pistachios themselves are fine.

It isn't Dubai at all, I pulled that out of my backside. Sorry I caused you such trauma @Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride

The peanut one is disappointing unless they've reformulated it?

“The peanut one is disappointing unless they’ve reformulated it.”
You’re kidding @Fast800goingforit
It is utterly delicious imo- dark chocolate, milk chocolate, caramel, peanuts and peanut butter. Yum !

Not for me, but I wonder how much they're charging for about a third of a cucumber, sliced, with a smear of dressing:

Big Dill Shake-A-Cucumber | M&S

Probably the biggest 'we think you have more money than sense' since they tried selling scraps* for £1.99 that unsurprisingly always seemed to be yellow stickered.

*For the uninitiated, scraps are the bits of batter that you get for free at fish and chip shops.

Big Dill Shake-A-Cucumber | M&S

Fresh cucumber slices served with a dill and gherkin cream cheese dressing for a cool, savoury flavour. Designed to be shaken in the pot so every slice is coated, with the dressing kept separate to help the cucumber stay crisp. Limited edition and mark...

They do charge silly prices. I've wanted to try a lamington since watching A Country Practice, but they cost about the same as a three course dinner in there!
