What are your best M&S Food recommendations to try?

There’s a thread going about must-buy foods from Waitrose and I have enjoyed trying all the delicious recommendations!

I thought I would start a similar one for M&S Food, as I’m sure I’m missing out on lots of good stuff.

My contribution: the Somerset butter with maple syrup in. It’s absolute heaven on a toasted bagel!

Oh and the rotisserie chickens are insane.

Third vote for the Mexican layered dip. Revolutionary.
Also, their pack of milk chocolate cookies from the bakery section are like nothing I have ever tasted. Absolutely wonderful.

All of the special dips! Not had one we haven't loved. Same with the Dinky range, perfect for a picky tea!
For dinner this evening we had the fajita chicken thighs and drumsticks and I made a mexican salad to go with. They were really flavourful and well seasoned.
The pistachio Swiss clouds. I've not got a sweet tooth but I struggled to stop eating these!
We keep the frozen roast potatoes on hand for a quick side dish. Perfectly fluffy insides and crispy outers. I can't get homemade the same.
Their Vintage Fox red Leicester is one of the best cheeses we've ever tasted!
All of the Christmas foods are fantastic, we really look forward to that!

We shop with Ocado so regularly buy the M&S basics. Their fruit and veg are excellent quality and last the week. Rarely does anything have to go in the bin because it's gone off.

All the cookies, but I am on countdown to Christmas when the peppermint bark ones are released into the wild.

I'm lucky enough to live near the factory shop that makes a lot of their baked goods, so we can get wonky Colin cakes for a quid each Grin.

The digestive biscuits are the only ones I’ve found that are almost as good as McVities.

Their fruit and veg is on a par with Waitrose.

Chocolate and pistachio dip.

Morello cherry and almond tart.

Extra virgin olive oil crisps with black truffle.

I love chocolate and pistachios but that dip is a whole world of wrong, way to claggy in the mouth.
