Have you tried any of the M&S Christmas range yet? If so, what did you think?
It's a pricey old affair going to M&S - don't mind paying a bit extra for quality, but get really narked paying top dollar for below average products!
No M&S in Cologne anymore, so sad, would love to try some stuff.
@@jessicanippes1730 that's probably Brexit related... Such a shame (on more levels than just an M&S of course!)
A yumnut is a cross between a yum yum and a doughnut; and M&S have been selling these for a few years. The best one they ever did was the lemon yum nut and it had little meringue pieces on it; sadly it got discontinued xx
@@loztheviolinist Well until today I was a yumnut virgin, but I will be looking out for them in future. That lemon one sounds great, I do like lemon meringue.
Awesome upload/reviews,
See you in the next one Greeno,
Thank you squire!!
Fantastic Thumbnail Greeno Sir
Will watch later 😁👌
Diolch David :-)
Love the festive music in background
Got to be done on a festive video 👍
I checked out the small print on some "All Butter" Viennese biscuits recently to find 2 oils in the list of ingredients. Wrote to M&S and the best excuse they came up with was that the "All Butter" label is a sort of brand name!!
Oh, I didn't check the ingredients on the ones I bought, I will have a look when I am home later!
Bought a tin of M&S shortbread for the Coronation because I really liked the tin. I'm a big fan of shortbread but as I was trying to lose weight at the time I gave the pack ofshortbread to my son and kept the tin. He reported back that the shortbread was excellent. It looked like the best buy out of your haul. I might give the yum nut a go though. Yhanks for all our hard work Greeno 😊
Oh yeah, I am definitely keeping the tin, will find a use for that 😀 I’d never even heard of a yumnut until yesterday, but I will definitely keep an eye out for them in future!
Nice to hear these reviews
Glad you like them!
It was the LIon Rampant on 1 of the biscuits.
It was indeed Stephen 🙂 Thanks for watching!
You give great and fair reviews!
Kind of you to say so Warren, much appreciated! Thanks for watching 😀
Thanks Greeno, for trying all of these for us ❤ I love Shortbread, it is my most favourite british/ scotish (?!) food 😊 I am so glad my local store here in Cologne has shortbread, only walkers, but shortbread. I remember my first tea and shortbread in London 1995 with my best friend,she was an au pair in london and shortbread & english tea tasted like heaven ❤
Shortbread is amazing isn't it! I normally only buy it towards Christmas though as it is seriously addictive...
If you like shortbread that much then it's really worth making it yourself - nothing beats the fresh homemade stuff and after one or two practices it's actually really easy. A Scot will tell you shortbread should only have 4 ingredients; plain flour, butter and sugar (about one-third each is a good starting general rule) and a good pinch of salt. Don't over-handle it, and do be patient because it takes about 5 times longer than other biscuits to cook - long and low keeps it nice and pale in colour. The only 5th ingredient I have successfully used is replacing about a tablespoon of the flour with cornflour - gives it a little more of a bite if that's what you like.
@@dontmesstheoriginal454 I do make my own at home for Christmas, in fact Mrs Greeno was surprised to see I had bought some ha ha. I normally make it with my little one, it's a simple enough recipe that it's easy to get her involved 😀
@@dontmesstheoriginal454 thank you, should try 👍
I used to love the beef and horseradish sandwiches from there and a lot of other products tbh but it’s very pricey
Everything is pricey these days isn't it. When you hear people complaining about how expensive Iceland is then we know there's a problem!
M&S is pricey but to be fair to them they do reduce their food very well. If you go when they have reduced their stuff for a second time you can get some real bargains. We got some gastro lasagna ready meals the other evening for 75p each
I was in there lunchtime, and I noticed some stuff with the same day “use by” date was already reduced. But only by about 50p on a £5 item 😂
@@GreenoEats That's the first reduction. You need to go in the evening
I know the prices are high there but in the states just the sandwich would cost me $7 TO $11 dollars. But I do love butter cookies. Yum😊
I was in California in 2019, and remember being shocked how expensive food was then, and just how accepting people were of it. I was there for work, and my colleagues thought nothing of their lunch being $20, or some funky Starbucks coffee costing $8-$10 ! I genuinely don’t know how people in low income families eat there.
I live in VA but I grew up in Florida and prices are much higher there. Its not easy to make it here either.
Do love the shortbread Tin,
But £7!!!!😮
It's good though... I thought £7 was a bit strong, but they are good sized biscuits
1:07😂😂😂
Glad to have all my internal organs intact 🤣
Gravy mayo tasted yuk, who'd have thought it lol! As you say, just why... Thanks for suffering for your art. What a shame the sarnie was such a let down too. When you read out the ingredients I was thinking wow that's going to taste wonderful, but clearly didn't live up to expectations. Good quality shortbread is expensive plus you pay for the fancy tin so that was fine price wise IMO. I can't stand shortbread where your mouth is coated with palm oil afterwards.
Yeah I was really looking forward to the sandwich, but it was incredibly tasteless, and the soggy toast vibe didn't help. I also think the shortbread was fairly priced, and it was tasty (prefer my homemade one though 😀). If I never eat gravynaise again I will be happy ha ha!
The shortbread is good. It is all butter and not palm oil etc. Also if you make it yourself the cost of butter and the gas or electric to cook it makes it worth the money in my opinion. Plus you get a tin. I bought a neighbour a tin of shortbread from M and S with a robin on it. I think that was £5. I was eating oxtail, mash and carrots whilst I was watching you with the sausage and strange dip and glad I wasn't eating it. The small amount of oxtail was £5.40 for one person!! The prices of food are going mental but I won't get political on that issue. 👍
Ooh, I love a nice bit of oxtail, cooked low and slow in some unctuous gravy, perfect winter warmer that!
@@GreenoEats Yes I was craving it. Last week it was steak and kidney with dumplings but I put beef fat in the dumplings instead of the suet you buy in a box. I managed to get three servings out of that for £7.20. 👍
Proper "stick to your ribs" stuff round yours at the moment huh. I'm planning to make a Hungarian pork stew on Thursday evening for the family, lots of paprika and onion slow cooked with the pork, should be yummy!
@@GreenoEats Sounds delicious. 🍲
Which bank did you rob to shop at M & S.
Shortbread £7. Doughnut £ 2 Posh dog £2.50 Sandwich £4.50 crisps £ 2.30.
so 6 sausages, when you can get a pack of 20 for around £2 Asda, Tesco. and not have to eat that yuk sauce. and you could get some pigs in blankets cheaper.
paying £7 for the shortbread just since it is in a tin, when you can pay £2 or £3 for it in a box. you do not eat the tin and most end up in the bin.
spending £2 on a cake when you can go to Aldi and get the sticky toffee cake or chocolate cake for £2.35. far more to it so better value.
I 100% agree that there are better priced options out there. And some of the items I bought from M&S were so poor that I would have been upset if I had bought them for half the price in another establishment. But plenty of people do shop there, so only fair to showcase some of their Christmas products alongside Greggs etc. (PS - I have a video pf Xmas stuff from Lidl coming soon :-) )
M&S sandwiches used to be God tier back in the 90s, nowadays they’re dog tier.
It really was disappointing, especially as it was more expensive than a meal deal in most other supermarkets!
£4.50 for them sandwiches
Yeah No Meal Deal there then???
Stick 2 a McDonald's Big Mac init
I know, Marks, Spencer and Turpin on those sarnies!
M&S eh? If only you knew someone who does mortgages.......... 😉
Ha ha - I thought you specialised in equity release for those in later life.... oh, hang on 😂
They look ok I guess lol
It surprised me, the items I thought would be good were rubbish, and the items I didn’t think I would enjoy so much were good!
@@GreenoEats well at least u got fed lol 👍
@@sarahillingworth2718 that’s true, even if I could probably have eaten in Harrods for the same price 😂
@@GreenoEats oh yes definitely 👍
I love m and s if you shop wisely you can get bargains ❤😂
Yeah, unfortunately I went in specifically for Xmas items, which are bound to be top dollar this time of year
@GreenoEats I agree Xmas menu items r a bit pricey but generally r OK 👍 👌 🙆♀️
Oooo, M&S!!!!!!
Money,Money, 🫣😃
Tell me about it - had to have a long lie down in a darkened room after I went through the checkout!
