M&S Four Cheese Ravioli



This delicious egg ravioli is filled with Cheddar, Ricotta, Mozzarella and Regato cheese and served with a cherry and basil tomato sauce. 

The serving size was reasonable as Ravioli tends to be very filling. The cheese within the ravioli was lovely and creamy, although I didn't notice a distinct flavour of the cheeses, it just tasted like Mozzarella cheese. The tomato and basil sauce was a little too sweet and sickly for my liking, I just felt it was too much. Apart from the tomato sauce, this is a reasonably tasty, filling meal that I will buy again.

M&S Spirit of Summer Mexican 3 Bean Wrap



This wrap consists of a 3 bean and sweet potato salsa, with Monterey Jack cheese and lettuce. The wrap was lovely and soft, I loved the texture of the beans, the salsa was quite refreshing. However, I found it a bit bland and lacking in flavour. It was a bit of a let down as it looked so tasty, but it failed to deliver.

M&S Salted Caramel and Blondie Brownie Dairy Ice Cream



I've been dying to try this as I love white chocolate anything, and the thought of salted caramel and blondie brownies make me happy. 

This ice-cream had a caramel flavour, with salted caramel sauce, chunks of blondies and pieces of digestive biscuits.

The caramel ice cream was nice and creamy, but the blondie brownies were dry and tasteless and I didn't notice any white chocolate in the blondies. The digestive pieces were pathetic tiny balls of nothing. The only really good thing about it was the salted caramel sauce, which was rich and gooey and had a perfect amount of salt to caramel.

This ice-cream was rather disappointing overall and I wouldn't buy it again.

M&S Spirit of Summer Posh Puppies in Blankets



A product from the “Spirit of Summer” range, these lovely little smoky sausages are wrapped in a light and buttery puff pastry. The sausages were really tasty, and the pastry was so light and buttery, absolutely divine. I felt these were far too dry though and needed some sort of sauce. Maybe next time I'll try them warm with some ketchup or bbq sauce!

M&S Blackcurrant Fool Cake



This Blackcurrant fool cake was lovely and moist, really light and buttery. The blackcurrant jam in the centre was lovely – both sweet and tangy. The buttercream was slightly disappointing – it tasted very artificial and sickly against the swirls of blackcurrant jam. I can never say no to cake, so although this cake wasn't as good as the St Clement's cake I reviewed previously, I might still buy it again.

M&S Gastropub Brewers Chicken



This meal consists of a spicy, marinaded piece of chicken, smoky roast potatoes with red onion wedges and a pot of ale ketchup.

The chicken was lovely and tender, really juicy and tasty. The marinade was full of flavour but a little too spicy for me. The smoky roast potatoes were ok – there weren't many of the red onion wedges. I didn't like the ale ketchup – it was far too vinegary for me. I thought that this meal had too many different flavours going on; it wasn't unpleasant but I didn't enjoy it.

M&S Gastropub Moussaka



I'm not a fan of aubergines but this Gastropub Moussaka looked really nice, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Everything about it was delicious and so so tasty. The thick bechamel sauce on the top was creamy and buttery with a lovely fluffy texture. The lamb mince was lovely and tender, layered with slices of potatoes, aubergines and courgettes. The sauce was lovely and meaty with hints of cinnamon and herbs. The slice of tomato on the top was a lovely addition, too.

M&S "The White One" White Chocolate Bar




I love white chocolate, always have, always will. This white chocolate bar by M&S was lovely, rich and creamy. I'd say it was as good as, if not better than the Milkybar brand. Highly recommended if you're a white chocolate lover!

M&S Milk Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites




I was surprised at the size of these, they were pretty big! A generous amount in the bag, these cookie dough bites were divine. I could even taste the vanilla in the cookie dough which were just like the bits of cookie dough in Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I loved the gritty texture of the cookie dough and the little pieces of chocolate chips. I'll have to buy these again!

M&S All Butter Flapjack Mini Bites



These flapjacks were lovely and buttery, with an extremely generous amount in the tub. They were very greasy and filling, though and had a strange texture of what seemed like cooked and uncooked oats. As lovely and buttery as these were, I'm not sure if i'd buy these again.

M&S Viennese Passion fruit creams




I had high hopes for these but was very disappointed. As I opened these I was hit with an overpowering, artificial smell of passion fruit. The passion fruit filling was disgusting and overpowering. It just tasted of this awful, artificial fruit flavouring. I could barely taste the Viennese biscuit itself. Awful.

M&S Chicken in a cheese and ham sauce



The chicken in this meal was lovely and tender, with a generous serving of cheese sauce and pieces of ham which was delicious. The parmentier potatoes and peas were a nice addition, although I found the potatoes a little greasy. I think it was a little overpriced for what it was, I may buy it again.
