It appears they are not doing their white chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees this year. Only the stupid salted caramel and milk chocolate ones.

They were the entire point of December.

They have RUINED my Christmas Xmas Angry

Esker - that long pie from M&S was awesome (sorry!)

SmileEachDay · 04/12/2017 19:57

Christmas food is disgusting.

All of it.

Except pigs in blankets.
And bread sauce.

But that’s it.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on marzipan fruits/shaped marzipan this year?

Last year it was Lidl for me but sadly no longer live near one of those or an Aldi

I'm fed up of salted caramel bollocks admittedly I've only ever tried salted caramel pretzel

maddiemookins16mum · 04/12/2017 20:00

I'd have preferred the salted caramel anyways, they're more Christmassy (iykwim).

SmileEachDay · 04/12/2017 20:01

salted caramel bollocks

Eww.

Still not over Mingles going, highlight off the year. Christmas doesn't feel the same anymore without a box off mingles under the tree.

All boxed chocs are rubbish these days.

About 3/4 years ago M+S did a tin of three different flavoured toffee, one was a gorgeous cherry. We bought loads that year and they haven't done any since...

RNBrie · 04/12/2017 20:04

Fuuuuuuucccckkkkkk I loved Chubby Hubby.

Years of therapy managing my grief all blown in one thread about Iceland.

Piggywaspushed · 04/12/2017 20:06

It is probably my fault.

Everything I like goes viz

walnuts on Walnut Whips
proper Ocean Spray Cranberry and Raspberry, not that shit with Stevia in it
Texan bars
Spangles
Scottish Plain bread, once available from Tescos

I can often be seen roaming forlorn from aisle to aisle trying to track things down.

Honey nothing would give me more pleasure. So that will be quick calculation £14. 87 per gram plus £4036 courier costs + VAT. How many would you like to order?

WitchesHatRim · 04/12/2017 20:07

And bread sauce

Yay someone else that likes bread sauce Xmas Wink

Piggywaspushed · 04/12/2017 20:08

Oh and toffees in Quality Street!

Waaaahhhhh

DrKrogersfavouritepatient · 04/12/2017 20:10

Haagen Dazs discontinued their coffee ice cream some years ago and since then I've stopped eating dairy altogether

TeoTorriateKonomamaiko · 04/12/2017 20:12

BlueButTrue I did find some marzipan fruits in B&M but they weren't as nice as the Sainsbury's ones.

HoneyDragon · 04/12/2017 20:12

They’re not doing the chocolate mints either?!?!? Ffs! Do they know it’s Christmas?

I fell out with Iceland when I bought their watermelon ice lollies this summer. Full of promise they were, shaped and coloured like a wedge of watermelon complete with ickle seeds. I dribbled all over the flyer and hot footed it to the nearest Iceland store full of excitement and anticipation...

Reader, they were horrible. Even dd2, who will eat pretty much anything, declared them revolting.

Lilyhatesjaz · 04/12/2017 20:14

Strawberry magnums are good and have white chocolate not Christmas tree shaped but you could always wrap some tinsel around the stick to make them festive

diddl · 04/12/2017 20:16

Would you be tempted by marzipan flavoured ice cream, Op?

Mischa123 · 04/12/2017 20:17

@RainbowDashed we loved the watermelon lollies in this house! They were yumm!!

Butterymuffin · 04/12/2017 20:18

Alexa I loved the M&S ham and soft cheese pinwheels! Still miss them. Wish someone would do a copy (Waitrose, I'm looking at you)

gingergenius · 04/12/2017 20:24

I used to Male marzipan fruits when I was younger. With home made marzipan (no kids, loads of time. Hadn't discovered m&s Christmas food).

I'm happy to start taking orders!!!!

Willow2017 · 04/12/2017 20:24

Arseholes
Cafe Nero do gingerbread muffins.
Gingery muffin with ginger buttercream in centre with ginger pieces they are glorious.

gingergenius · 04/12/2017 20:24

Make. Not Male!! Doh!

Vango · 04/12/2017 20:25

Do they know it’s Christmas?

Someone should write a song about that.

BlueButTrue · 04/12/2017 20:25

Rainbow Oh I loved them this year!

In saying that though, I'm easily pleased and the best bit was the green part Smile

ginger where are you based?! I want some
