Christmas
with
dishes a twist

FOOD

M&S Foodhall, Cowes

T

he time for mistletoe and mince pies has once again
arrived and if you find yourself in need of some dining
inspiration, M&S Foodhall Cowes Store Manager,
Nathaniel Dunkley, has picked out his favourite dishes from
the much anticipated M&S Christmas range to help put you in
the festive spirit. He said:
“Our new Christmas range is all about the creation of
classic festive dishes but with a bit of a twist. Think Proseccoflavoured crisps, Brussels sprout bangers, Parsnip in a Pear
Tree juice and a chocolate candle wreath! Or why not try our
exquisite White Christmas cocktail with yogurt liqueur, rum,
vanilla and lemon for an extra special treat?
“We will have tasting stations at M&S Foodhall Cowes
throughout the festive season so if you need any hints, tips or
inspiration we look forward to welcoming you into store soon!”

Berries & Prosecco hand-cooked
crisps with fizz & sparkle, 150g, £2
“These are a definite talking point
at any Christmas party! Hand-cooked
British potato crisps made with
blackcurrant and raspberry juice and
M&S Prosecco. Garnished with edible
gold stars, they will leave your tongue
fizzing!”
10 Mini meatball pastries, 244g, £7
“Continuing the recent trend for
Turkish food but in miniature format,
these handmade pastries are topped
with lamb and pork meatballs in a
tomato sauce and then sprinkled with
Turkish red pepper flakes. Yum!”
10 Mini lobster mac & cheese, 226G,
£10
“Tender pieces of sweet lobster with
conchigliette pasta in a rich cheese
sauce. Served in pots with mini
spoons, this is party food at its best.”
British easy carve Oakham Turkey
breast parcel, 1.45Kg, £20
“A great choice for those looking
for an alternative to a whole bird at

Christmas. This British turkey parcel is
made with only succulent breast meat,
making it simple to carve and easy to
portion. Filled with a generous helping
of caramelised orange and fig stuffing,
family and friends will certainly not
turn their noses up at this dish!”
Gold melt in the middle chocolate
pudding, 680g, £8
“A festive twist on the M&S chocolate
pudding classic, this deliciously soft
and rich chocolate pudding has a
hidden golden orange centre and
finished with gold lustre. One to show
off with!”
White Christmas Cocktail, 50Cl, £12
“Perfect for any Christmas
celebration, this indulgent cocktail
is made with yogurt liqueur, rum,
vanilla and lemon. Just pour over ice
and enjoy. What could be better than
sipping one of these while wrapping
Christmas presents?”
