I'm a very recent convert to the delights of M&S food (start of December) and it's a habit that I don't think I can afford to continue. I have literally stopped shopping in Morrisons and am now totally addicted to the following to name but a few:

Prawn Bucatini
Prawn Bhuna
Prawn Makhani
White chocolate chip cookies!!!!
Apple Turnovers!

It's not good!

I know

Economists say that M&S defies economic forces, especially when it went through that sticky patch.
It should have gone under, but the goodwill of the public towards the company was huge, and instrumental in its recovery

Oh my god! me too. the cookies are to die for and I love all the pasta dishes.. Try the shortbread.

I think most of the goodwill came from you

We fought our way through the crowds to get one of their turkeys from the adverts yesterday, it's nestling in our fridge looking divine and me and other OH keep having to get and have a look at it

my bus stop is right outsid marksys. now and again i treat myself to a layered tuna pasta salad but at 3.20 its a bit pricey.

I am *very* partial to M&S, though I have been known (on occasion) to commit the heinous betrayal of...

Had their Belgian Chocolate Souffle on Xmas Day for pud - t'were luvverly.

my dad informed me that he had sent my aunty (who we dont even like) a hamper from M&S.

Worst news I've had all year. Why not me, Dad, Why?!

I actually bought some Quiche's from M&S for Xmas and had them last night and they were pretty poor. First bad thing i've had from M&S for years.

Last year, me and the OH were going through a very very busy time at work, out at 7am, back in at 8pm we were living off ready type / convenience meals, I am not a big fan so decided to stock up on ones from M&S as they are much nicer than most other supermarkets. I have to say after a couple of months we were actually saving money off our monthly food bill, because although they are pricey we were only buying enough food for set meals and not wasting anything or throwing food away uneaten. I’m sure this also works when you meal plan with other supermarkets meals, but M&S food is soooo much nicer and it was just the evidence I needed to convince my OH that M&S was the place to shop for evermore

the seventies turned into the eighties...

m and s invented the egg custard..
did you know that?

I feel the food was absolutely heavenly in the 80s at M&S. We used to shop there as a treat. Their clothes were better quality too until the 90s.

Does anyone remember the frozen strawberry mousse meringue cake? - I still drool for it now.

I feel during the mid 90s, the quality wasn't so good for what you paid for, so started using other supermarkets.

Other supermarkets do pretty good food for far less these days.

M&S chinese ready meals are the only supermarket bought chinese meals that actually tast like real chinese.

(that sentence doesn't sound right at all)

My mother was given an M&S hamper this year

I hate going to M&S because I always spend way too much in the food hall! You can't beat the quality of their food at all. The only gripe I have with them is that they stopped doing the potato croquets with cheese - They were gorgeous and I don't normally buy much ready made stuff, but these were to die for.

Got my turkey from there again this year and it was gorgeous.

Ordered most of our Christmas lunch from M&S, starters, veg, roasties and pudding, all prepared and ready to cook, just throw it into the oven and away you go, not too much washing up afterwards either.

Bought the Turkey in Sainsburys though, it's a godsend when you have a lot of people coming at Christmas, it makes things a lot easier. Going to do it again next year.

I love M&S food. I'm on Weightwatchers and it's all the delicious stuff from there that I miss the most. I've never eaten anything from there that wasn't nice.
Recently I succumbed and had their brie and cranberry sandwiches, their falafel, mini scotch eggs, and their Xmas sarnies with all the turkey and pork etc. in them.

Im going on weight watchers when I get back from my holiday. I will mourn M&S with all my heart

When I went to M&S ONLY to buy a packet of sweets, I ended up buying their lunch box type cartons of orange juice and passion fruit juice as well!

this thread is 5 years old, so i presume your food is off by now

Two words: cornish cruncher

I eat their southern fired chicken at least once a week. And the frozen baby rostis are the bomb. The missus tells me off all the time, but I can't stop going in. It's my closest supermarket too, only a 5 minute walk

Ha ha

They are delish!!

But they sem to have stopped making my fave savory tarts, which is NOT acceptable. But yes- they do rock. And free range eggs in their food too

tried their late bottled port last week because it was reduced, had to buy some cheese and biscuits to go with, obviously. It's all good
