What do I want from M&S food hall on Monday

[superstar84]

Popping into the M&S food shop on Monday to get some nice pastries and pancakes to make a special breakfast for 1st Dec for dc

What else should I grab when I'm there?!

Oooh everything!!!!!

Don't bother with the Percy Pigmas pies. They weren't that nice.

Chinese chicken wings
BBQ pork belly bites (xmas canape range)
Country Style Pate
Veggie pizza
Cauliflower popcorn from the Plant Kitchen range
Low fat ridge crisps
Tomato and basil pasta sauce
Vietnamese pork belly
Roast potato seasoning
Butter chicken
Gastro Kitchen cottage pie
Buttermilk chicken tenders
Smoked salmon parcels

Baklava and Colin caterpillars!

Their croissant/doughnut hybrids. They look like diabetes in a box but my god, if you can get the millionaires shortbread ones, they are amazing!

Their classic mince pies (red box) they are the best I’ve ever tasted.

Agreed @Florencenotflo - the yum nuts are the best!!! Billionaire ones are the best!

I love a North Pole breakfast!

You can make grapes into a Christmas tree! (One if the healthier options!)

The new chicken doughnuts look amazing!!
Party food for tea maybe?

Are you prepping for Christmas?

I know things like brandy sauce are usually long dated so I'd be starting to get things like that 👍🏼

New mint chocolate giant buttons.

Percy Pigs

Cheese in blankets (Xmas canapé range) my favourite I get pacs to put in the freezer each year!

@Orangedaisy

New mint chocolate giant buttons.

My DH loves their choc buttons - unlike the Cadburys ones they are actually giant and the choc is good too.

Dauphinois potatoes and cheesy puffs.

Battered fish fingers from the freezer section
The bake at home frozen cookies (are the best)
Colin the Caterpillar sweets
The pizza deal for £10
Roast potato seasoning
Nduja paste
Portuguese custard tarts
Strawberry and clotted cream tarts
Maybe some fruit for balance ha ha

Cherry chocolate liqueurs

Percy Pigs! Love their seafood. I also like the look of those musical biscuit tins in the shape of town houses

I am vegetarian so can’t comment on their meat offerings so it depends on what you like really, all of their food is nice! There’s genuinely nothing I have tried that is nasty, and I have pretty much tried everything veggie that they sell.

Which pancakes are you buying? The thick Belgium chocolate chip ones are soo nice! They sell a variety of different creams you can pair with them as well.

Even their fruit/veg tastes nicer than most

Iced, spiced buns. I buy them and eat them on the way home .

Cornish cruncher cheese bakes - we have them with veg sticks and fresh crusty bread. They are delicious!

@Florencenotflo in the interests of research I tried all the flavours. You are so right. The millionaire yumnuts are just amazing!

@Flackattack @petrocellihouse Thank You! Yum Nuts! I couldn't remember what the name of them was. I should remember, my DH always makes some innuendo joke about them whenever I bring them home. Just don't try and eat 2, you might think you can hack it, but I got major sugar burn through the second one 😂 had to finish it later that evening.

Cheese tasters, chocolate covered brazils and irish cream liquer chocs.

Yes to iced and spiced buns and the cheese bake (I think the cheese bake has money off at the moment). Also:

marmite butter
chicken and chorizo empanadas in the picnic snack range
pesto pasta salad
Cheese bread off the bakery
Their fresh porridge always feels like quite a shameful purchase but it's often reduced, freezes and is delicious

Oh and we had their plain pork sausages the other day and they were tasty.
