Is there anything good from Asda or Tescos or Morrisons etc. that you just can't get enough of? For example I really like Tesco's Chocolate Croissants, is there anything else anyone recommends? Own brand of course, or at least something none of the other supermarkets do.

Try Morrisons Sun Dried Tomato Bread, up there with any artisan bread maker. I was in the Penrith branch a few months ago looking for the said bread and the baker started to load the shelfs, seeing me looking and not finding he asked what I was looking for, so I told him. He said can you give me 20 minutes and I will bake you some, now thats service!!

Bloody good it was!!
I would, except I wouldn't like it. I don't like Tomatoes. Except tomato sauce/ketchup. And tomato soup.

New one for you all: me and the Mrs have been importing a certain BBQ sauce from the states for years, we actually found a source in Dubai that was importing and selling it also so we were importing it from both sides of the world at one point! It's the best BBQ sauce we have ever tried.

Cue our surprise when the Mrs saw it sitting on a shelf in Sainsbury last week. It's called "Sweet Baby Ray's" BBQ Sauce, there are 3 different variants. I've just found out that Tesco also has it after looking at the following marketing site:

Would be interested to hear anyone's feedback that tries it!
So which variant would you recommend?

Asda Pork and Chicken Linguini from the chilled ready meals. Very nice indeed.

Decided to go to Sainsburys yesterday as Asda was absolutely rammed. Picked up a Chicken and Chorizo paella as it was reduced and although I took most of the red and green peppers out (and there were a lot!) but after that it was really good. Nice bit of spice throughout too. Recommended.
