What to buy at M&S food?

[Itsrainingloadshere]

New large M&S food store opening near me next week. After recommendations for nice things to buy. Won’t be for the weekly shop but will call in for bits and pieces on my way past. Thank you!

(DISCLAIMER - if you are vegetarian/vegan this answer isn't for you!)

I usually only buy bits and bobs, never a big shop. I always pick these up:-

Coleslaw
Prawn sandwich (the £4.50 one)
Birthday YumYum
Moussaka
Burgers if I have a McDonald's craving and want to recreate a Big Mac without needing to set foot in that hellhole 😆. (I generally make my own burgers but sometimes a mass produced slightly greasy alternative just hits the spot).

Mexican layered dip
chocolate covered Bourbons
dark chocolate ice cream
raspberry macaroon ice cream
oaty bread or their ciabatta
jewel samosas
mince (they don’t vacuum pack!)
the collection chicken kievs
Cowboy sweetcorn relish
campfire mayo
maple butter
Basically any of their seasonal stuff

I would normally have said the 2 chicken legs for a stunning £1.50 but was very disappointed with them last week but go for it anyway at that price.

Soft pistachio nougat - heavenly bliss
chocolate hazelnut nougat
cinnamon buns

their pizzas and lasagne are quite nice too

They currently have these packs of three Spanish peaches. They are enormous and just delicious. Possibly the best peaches I’ve ever eaten.

Lots to try, thank you!

Those peaches are amazing! I’m adficted 🤣

The thin beef burgers are very nice as is most of the bbq stuff can get three packs for £12.50 I think, the caramel cornetto dupes are fabulous ice cream is very good Yy the seasonal dips the fruit is excellent & the peaches are really delicious.
Bread - the french boule which they will slice/cheese topped rolls/Japanese milk rolls.
Turkish olives
lots of the basics are competitively priced.
Extra strong teabags in the blue box make a good cup of tea.

jaffa cakes
mini lemon tarts
baby Charlotte potato salad
scotch eggs
mini pork pies
asparagus
those small sponge cakes in a plastic pack
their pop chips
chicken masala
salsa in pot (not chiller cabinet)
Sun dried tomato paste

don’t bother with the sausage and mash ready meal, too much mash and wish I’d bought it all separately.

Salsa Verde chickpeas
Cocktail cans

The pickled red onion slices in a jar, sling a few in salad / pasta to instantly make it more interesting. Also they have the best tasting fruit.

Mango flavoured grapes
Strawberry sandwich
