M&S Confectionery


I was at Belfast's historic Linen Hall Library briefly this morning, in order to undertake a little research on the second floor.

Thence I made a bee-line for Marks and Spencer's Donegall Place branch and took the escalator down to the food-hall in the basement. Since I presently have sufficient resources in the "larder", I merely bagged a tub of their new Greek-style yoghurt with honey, which I haven't tried yet.

I do favour their confectionery. M&S Fudge is utterly sublime; and that comes from one who has frequently consumed the Dowager's home-made fudge. I swear by their fruit pastilles, too. I've tried Needler's, Tesco's, Rowntree's and Sainsbury's; M&S are, to my mind, the best.

Now I have another range to add to the sweetie-list: M&S Mint Imperials. In my experience there seem to be two types, viz. the powdery type and the chewy type. I prefer the latter; and M&S Mint Imperials seem to have essence of mint as well as as chewiness.

Well done again, Marks and Spencer!

Their chocolate covered popcorn and apple crisps were very popular in our house, don't think they're in stock any longer though...
