M&S are opening a proper supermarket in the Marina Mall.

Marks & Spencer to open first standalone Dubai food store

Please let there be a pork section. Their tapas is gorgeous!

mission

it's going to be well expensive

Probably lol. Some of their stuff is cheaper than Park n Rob though.

I'll still have to have a gander. I'm like a child in a sweet shop when I go to the one at Bin Battuta

mission

no doubt their food is awesome.....will have to treat myself every now and again

Park n Rob...lol. I shop at Waitrose and I agree with you.

I went to the big Waitrose in the Dubai Mall for the first time before Christmas.
Lordy! They had Soreen malt loaf. Even P&R don't sell that.

Now, I just need to find somewhere that sells Scampi Fries, Cheese Moments and beef Space Raiders then I'll be happy.

Souq planet in AD sell scampi fries or have done in the past, you will need to sell a limb tho!

The greatest supermarket in Dubai is the standalone (sort of) Waitrose Al Thanya in Umm Suqueim (sp).

Always quiet, don't have to drive into a mall or walk through one....just a normal supermarket.

Had you down as Lulu type of chap . Can't see you prancing around there in your Vilebrequin shorts topping up on organic almond milk and new season white aspargus.

Nah, I like Waitrose, I like the fresh stuff and the meat.

I have never tried almond milk or white asparagus or had any Vilebrequin shorts (I've tried them on and I'm in between sizes, sadly)....I wanted the ones with burgers and chips on.

You, on the other hand, I imagine fit right in when the discussion turns to this seasons lycra colour palette and how kale and avocado are SOOO 2016.

Almond milk is disgusting and Soya milk gives you man-boobs.

scrubbedexpat141

Never had either but how do you milk a nut or a bean?

Meow

To make your own almond milk you can buy something called a nut bag. Yes really and I sniggered too.

Hahahahhaahahahahahahhaha

I'm assuming you're not joking, which is just fantastic.

Google 'nut bag'. There are loads and yes it is SFW. I promise.

The first time someone asked about on on the FB foodie group I co-run we all fell about laughing.
