FOOD STORIES FROM M&S THIS WEEK…
GREAT GRAPES…
They’re back and they’re as flavoursome as ever. Our deliciously sweet and naturally grown Strawberry, Candyfloss and Tutti Frutti Grapes (all £2.50) have picked up quote the loyal following over the years and have been sending Instagram into a frenzy with over 4,000 people liking a photo on the @marksandspencerfoodpr since yesterday afternoon! Over 300 people have declared their love for the extra-fruity grapes, with comments including “Best grapes ever” and LOTS of heart-eye emojis. Our top tip – try freezing the grapes for an extra delicious and refreshing snack on a hot day!
OLYMPICS AT HOME…
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games may have been postponed to next year (they should have been starting Friday), but who is to say you can’t create your own mini-Olympics at home? Think egg and spoon race, family relays, toss the hacky sack or maybe even a cartwheel race for those more daring?
Why not turn it into an event for your nearest and dearest and enjoy an M&S picnic taking advantage of our current 3 for £7 offer on selected deli lines including Davidstow Cheddar and Bacon Sausage Rolls, olives, and cured meats. For that real taste of Tokyo you could even try some of our fantastic sushi and gyoza collection in our Food on the Move range – look out for Vegetable Gyoza (£2, 68g), Prawn Gyoza (£2, 68g), Vegetarian Sushi (£3, 140g) and Chicken & Vegetable Sushi (£3.30, 157g).

Half of a M&S Limelon
1 tbsp of Orange liqueur
Juice of 2 limes
Salt and limes to garnish
