Privacy NoticeWhen it comes to Christmas, one of the reasons why it’s the most wonderful time of the year is because of the food on offer. From overindulging on too many pigs in blankets, tucking into a tub of mini chocolates or eating mince pies by the tray load, nothing beats a good festive treat. And while Christmas classics – we’re looking at you, camembert – will never go out of fashion, there are some seriously intriguing and imaginative options on offer this year. Whether it’s salmon-infused gin or a block of boozy cheese, there’s a weird and wonderful foodie choice certain to delight the wannabe Heston Blumenthal at any family’s table. But are you brave enough to give them a try? Chocolate-covered tortilla chips M&S is known for iconic treats including beloved Percy Pigs but its newest arrival is somewhat more divisive.

Brussels sprouts topped with Marmite If the chocolate chips weren’t divisive enough, M&S has another trick up its sleeve: Marmite Shredded Brussels Sprouts. Reigniting the saying ‘you either love it or hate it’, the retailer has shoppers split down the middle. One Facebook user even accused the brand of “ruining Xmas” but others were less disgusted and keen to embrace the salty side dish. Espresso martini cheese
