cooking xmas dinner

M&S but really you should prepare it yourself.

best wishes to dean ashton btw, and good luck to him in the future :(

yeah looks like he might stay in east anglia as his missus is from there

any m&s recommendations?

not really, best look on their website imo

or any of the big supermarkets e.g. tesco, sainsburys etc

Personally, I think M & S food is universally shocking. Do you have a Waitrose near you?

Waitrose is a good call.

Christmas surely

we have a waitrose but not keen on their products at all

Go round your independants then - delis etc. M & S are sh*te, the supermarkets are okay but average, you don't like Waitrose.

Get to the deli's/butchers/farmshops/markets. Far better.

i wasn't after meat...

Thought you might have guests ;-)

tho i'd obviously have to get a quick pre cooked turkey thing

well yes lol

Thats the first time I've ever heard anyone criticise M&S food.

Personally i think the food in there is amazing - just too expensive to have regularly.

someone else on here regularly ***** it off

i can't say i've ever had any problems with it tho

Roast some spuds and parsnips and add a few stuffing balls to the roasting tin later on , knock up some cauliflower cheese , any green veg you fancy , carrots , butter beans and some nice yorkshires.....cover with gravy......don't really need the meat but you got to have a roast christmas day imo......

M&S food is very nice. Sadly, M&S staff are thick.

Chuck a turkey in the oven ffs, it's not rocket salad.. make the effort for that 1 special day

Meals on Wheels does a fine line in chicken roll, stewed cabbage and cold mashed potato I hear.
