passion fruit flavour
and a hint of vanilla,
it can be served as
an aperitif with an
orange slice and
cinnamon stick or
even as a substitute
for dessert wine.
Also new is
Sparkling Lime and
Ginger, with a fresh
ginger flavour and
subtle citrus. - M&S Star Studded Sausage Roll Garland Stack

golden all-butter pastry. It really looks the part. - Food Warehouse 10 Luxury Cheese

We were fans of these soft-centred mini
soufflés when Iceland launched them
three years ago. Now they’re back,
exclusively at Food Warehouse stores,
with improved cheddar cheese punch. - Pip & Nut Limited Edition
Gingerbread Almond Butter
