Salt and pepper are my favourite, but they're all good. Salted caramel teacakes are wicked also. Chocolate covered bourbon Biscuits... 6 for 3 quid... But they are lovely There Cookie dough bites Chocolates are good too

Seen their Christmas stuff? The pies sound incredible, but they're 50 quid!
Shirtie Posted October 8, 2025 Posted October 8, 2025 Me and Mum always go to M&S at Christmas to get stuff, There was a guy there a few years ago picking up his Christmas Dinner, Everything was bought Starters,main and pudding he even bought a Cheese board.. it's came to just over £800 with wine also... Amazing how some people live! And there was me with my Christmas pudding and crisps... ? 2 hours ago, SuperBacon said: Absolutely make sure you get at least 1x pack of the combo mix.

Members SuperBacon Posted October 8, 2025 Members Posted October 8, 2025 My current obsession is this coffee mousse from Sainsburys. I'd have 50 a day if i could.
Members SuperBacon Posted October 9, 2025 Members Posted October 9, 2025 A man of many cultures. Reminds me, I've never had Turkish delight.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 9, 2025 Paid Members Posted October 9, 2025 (edited) People who know me will be unsurprised to know I love Turkish delight, although I'm not a fan of the mint-flavoured ones - feels like I'm eating toothpaste. Classic rose or almond for me. EDIT: BTW, anyone who's around my neck of the woods (i.e. Finsbury Park/Haringey), drop me a line - some of the best Turkish-style künefe cafes around here.

Paid Members gmoney Posted October 19, 2025 Paid Members Posted October 19, 2025 (edited) I'd avoid the seasonal gingerbread Oreos. Tasted more like clove than gingerbread, with a lingering, unpleasant aftertaste. Edited October 19, 2025 by gmoney

Also, the gingerbread Kit Kats are vile.
Cousin Jim Bob Posted October 19, 2025 Posted October 19, 2025 I see there is gingerbread Doritos as well. If anyone really fancy's taking one for the team.

Retro Red Posted October 19, 2025 Posted October 19, 2025 My gingerbread loving wife didn’t like the Doritos, I tried one and just thought they were a bit bland - my 10yr old liked them though. Couldn’t bring myself to try the gingerbread Pepsi max, not for me Jeff.

Having enough cash to get what I want, when I want from M&S.

Saw someone spend 7 grand once, but that did include a LOT of alcohol.
deathrey Posted October 19, 2025 Posted October 19, 2025 The Beef Wellington from M&S (individually made to order by Tom Kerridges kitchen) is £199. Craziness. The Christmas special cheese includes a Coastal Cheddar at £8 which I might treat myself too. Also there is a delightful looking Panettone Gateau (Marscapone and Lemon) which I'm tempted by.
Cousin Jim Bob Posted November 16, 2025 Posted November 16, 2025 These were very nice. Extremely cheesy flavour and we're great dipped in some salsa. They seem to permanently be on Tesco Clubcard offer as well
