Paid Members Nexus Posted November 12, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 12, 2023 Have you had the trail mix that Marks has done? It's actually like crack. They did a Hallowe'en version that was sold out and not replaced by mid-October, but the Xmas one is also out now - there's this version and a version with gummy sweets in and it's brilliant. Quote
deathrey Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 We had the Halloween one, it was ok, but not great. I will still try the Christmas one though. It's nice seeing all the Christmas stuff back in the shops. My eldest is properly aware of Christmas for the first time, so we will be indulging in every type of Christmas treat. Quote

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted November 25, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2023 Tesco finest individual Christmas pudding yesterday. Really excellent, might be my go to for the rest of the season. Under 2 quid with a Club Card. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted November 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2023 I'm not angry. Just disappointed. Rum flavour my arse, these taste like all the other posh Aldi mince pies. Quote
Paid Members johnnyboy Posted November 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2023 Just had the Greggs Festive Bake and I'm feeling positively Christmassy now. Quote Made from a delicious crumb topped pastry, filled with pieces of cooked chicken, sage & onion stuffing and cooked sweetcure bacon, covered in a creamy sage & cranberry sauce. Quote

Harry Wiseau Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 I've bought four festive bakes from the Greggs outlet near me but my eldest hasn't let me anywhere near them, he did kindly let me have a bite it the Christmas lunch baguette though which was surprisingly really good, the pigs under blankets baguettes in recent years have been disappointing but the Christmas lunch one is good.

I've been reasonably informed that the Iceland frozen variety is possibly even better, mainly because you know you're getting it hot and with the pastry at the right consistency. A festive bake from the bakery itself always risks being the tepid 'left out' one. Naturally I bought a box to try myself, so will report back. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) The range of party foods in M&S this year is almost overwhelming. There's so much of it I'm considering fasting from now until Christmas Day because I know my parents are going to buy absolutely all of it. Delighted to see they've retained the beef burger spring rolls, especially. Edited November 30, 2023 by Devon Malcolm Quote
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Had my first Christmas food of the season today, a triple Festive Feast wrap from Asda, a lovely wrap at that though the Turkey was lost against the combination of sausage, bacon, spinach, stuffing, gravy mayo and cranberry chutney Quote
