M&S Simply Food

One of our very favorite things about our trip was the department store Marks & Spencer. At first we didn't realize it was a department store because we found an M&S Simply Food shop at the airport. Their food is incredible. We enjoyed drinks like British apple juice and cloudy lemonade (sparkling). We loved the yogurt (yoghurt, as they spell it) with granola or raspberry currant compote to mix in. We couldn't get enough of their sandwiches - cheese and spring onion (grated cheddar with chopped green onions all mixed in mayo), cheese and celery (shaved white cheese with sliced celery in mayo), ploughman's (which I'll get to later). They even had food stores at the rest areas along the motorway (freeway). We ate many breakfasts and lunches of M&S food. Even their American-style donuts were amazing. Tony's wishing that one would open here, but for now we'll just have to steal their ideas!

I am really interested in these food ideas. They all sound good and not bland at all. Isn't that the stereotype?

It was very good. A lot of the food there really is bland, though. We got vegetable curry that they said was medium in its spicy-ness, and it was totally bland. But good.
