The Red Leicester loaf someone mentioned earlier
Salt and vinegar posh crisps
Meringue shells
Extra chocolatey ring biscuits
Cauliflower cheese
There’s a gold box of truffles rolled in choc flakes that are £6 but were £3 after Christmas. I got addicted. ☹️

Extremely chocolatey round biscuits. Happy to report that Aldis version are identical.
Can eat the whole 9 in one go.

Veggie percy pigs & the variaties of veggie colin the caterpillars. They're my favourite random present from DH

RachelRosie · 26/02/2018 21:24

I am outraged no one has mentioned the walnut whip selection....
I also love their sourdough, brie, meals for £10, cooking sauces, the cheweyist, loveliest meringues and the special paddington marmalade muffins they did a while back

That1950sMum · 26/02/2018 21:26

They do a delicious raspberry panacotta

Chicken pakora bites

ready salted square crisps

raspberry jelly

and their Christmas sandwiches are amazing!

BreconBeBuggered · 26/02/2018 21:27

I hardly ever get to M&S these days but I bought one of those parsnip, leek and carrot bakes last week, and I have to agree with pps that it was absolutely bloody delicious.
I like to stock up on the veggie jelly sweets - not just the pigs but also worms (or possibly snakes?), meerkats and fizzy cola bottles.

ilovecardigans · 26/02/2018 21:27

'Firecrackers' - spicy sweet sticks. They are the absolute nuts!

SoftSheen · 26/02/2018 21:27

Fresh raspberries, blueberries and cherries
Fresh bread, especially the sourdough and Irish soda bread
Hot cross buns
Colin the caterpillar cakes

Nothing wrong with thinking of some foods as 'treats', cakes and biscuits should be occasional treats rather than a daily occurrence.

BreconBeBuggered · 26/02/2018 21:28

*on reflection, I think the worm/snakes are caterpillars. Whatever they are, they don't last long enough for there to be any packaging left to check.

IsaidMrDarcynotArsey · 26/02/2018 21:28

For a while, in the sweet section, they did the most amazing milk bottles. Proper old fashioned tasty numbers they were. Haven’t been able to find them lately.

Jassmells · 26/02/2018 21:30

About £200 on clothes would be my favourite M&S treat. Failing that I'll take some Percy pigs and a lasagne and chunky chips. Oh and the hog roast sausage rolls.

halfwitpicker · 26/02/2018 21:30

Thanks alltheprettyseahorses

I'm a parsnip fan myself Grin

hennaoj · 26/02/2018 21:31

The oakham Rotisserie chicken, its very annoying that it keeps going out of stock due to supplier issues. Stuff KFC, this chicken is way more addictive (and gluten free)
The chocolate melting pudding (also gluten free)

lilabet2 · 26/02/2018 21:31

Viennese Whirls.
Custard and Trifle (they're so much nicer than Sainsbury's and Tesco's versions, which taste more artificial)
Fries (nicer than most),
Iced buns,
Fresh fruit (it really is better/sweeter!),
Skinny burgers (although the above kind of counteracts any calorie restriction from those!)
Cannelloni dishes.

If I could afford to I would definitely buy from Marks and Spensive for every meal!

londonrach · 26/02/2018 21:33

Nothing from m&s sorry. However frys chocolate bars in blue wrapper....😘😍

Consideredintrusion · 26/02/2018 21:33

MOcktail fruit jellies.
Veggie Percys

squarecorners · 26/02/2018 21:34

Because of my relentless rock n' roll lifestyle I tend to buy myself a ham and mushroom tagliatelle if I'm on my own with nobody else to cook for. My aunt buys their lemon drizzle cake if I'm coming round because she's basically my second mum and she spoils me :)

stoplickingthetelly · 26/02/2018 21:34

Giant chocolate buttons and perch pigs. Love them both.

AlannaOfTrebond · 26/02/2018 21:34

Prawn risotto, it's lovely. Best ready meal ever.

IamMoana · 26/02/2018 21:35

I am amongst my people!

The pink iced buns...jam in the middle!
Brie & grape sandwich
Florentines
Macarons
Their pastries (mostly the apricot one)
Much of their chocolate is palm oil free...they do an amazing one with whole hazelnuts
Wood fired pizza - a pesto chicken one
Most of their Christmas range

Just everything really. I nip in for bread & milk & leave £30 lighter every time. No regrets!

Allthestripes · 26/02/2018 21:35

I love this thread! But why has no one mentioned dirty fries? Oh my - they are outstanding!

Also the mini millionaire bites - I could eat a whole bucket in one sitting.

Tanaqui · 26/02/2018 21:35

THe super green salad.

The gluten free seeded rolls.

BUT gutted they stopped doing the gf almond frangipani cake.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 26/02/2018 21:37

Thai green chicken curry, I could eat it every day!

thisonehasalittlecar · 26/02/2018 21:37

mac and cheese bites
mini cheese donuts
dark chocolate digestives
yum yums
all their health foods, really...

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/02/2018 21:40

They used to do a delicious marinated feta, it vanished then an imposter with too much lemon appeared Sad

Yes to the Vegetarian suitable snakes, DD loves these.
