Reblog for sample size and all that

(Also I know some of these supermarkets are in other countries too, just ALL of them are in the UK)

Morrison's Café, Morley, UK

Let us introduce ourselves. We are Frances and Sharon, two friends with one burning question: why are there so many reviews of fancy, expensive restaurants and nothing for the supermarket café, adored by, and accessible to, the common man? We have made it our mission in life to visit as many supermarket cafés as the bus services will allow, because what is more important than being the change you wish to see in the world?

Today we have come to the Morrison's café in Morley, with our friend, [REDACTED].

What Frances had: Hot chocolate and biscoff cheesecake (£4)

What Sharon had: Pot of tea and Victoria sponge cake (£4)

What [REDACTED] had: Oasis (£2) and sausage, egg, chips and beans (£6.50)

Vibes: 4/5 ⭐

The café is hidden away from the rest of the supermarket which leaves an atmosphere distinctly different from that of most supermarket cafés. We sat in a comfortable booth. It was lively yet pleasant, with a wide range of ages visiting today (very family friendly). The wall decor had a pleasant variety of ambiguous text, but sadly no photos of food, and very nice lighting fixtures. There was also poor phone signal, for which a star is lost. The booth did have the store manager's email address asking for feedback which was unique but not unwelcome.

Service: 2/5 ⭐

It's hard to give a ranking for service at a café which is mostly self service, although there is hot food brought to your table if you order it. Ordering is done via a self service machine, and cold food, snacks and drinks can then be taken from a counter. Frances and I did wonder if this system is open to abuse, but perhaps Morley is above such things. There are two self service hot drinks machines, one of which was out of hot chocolate. The hot food took around 20 minutes to arrive, but staff were friendly, and generous with ketchup sachets. The café gains extra points because when we asked to confirm if we could just take what we'd ordered from the counter, we were happily informed that drinks had free refills. A cheap day out!

Quality: 3/5 ⭐

The cakes were nice, although we suspect not made on site. Sharon would have preferred an option for real sugar as well as just sweeteners, and the tea was Tetley's and not the far superior Yorkshire Tea. Frances agreed that the hot chocolate was fine. For the hot food, the eggs, chips and beans were decent, but the sausages were the highlight, with [REDACTED] commenting that they reminded him of his childhood.

Price: 3/5 ⭐

[REDACTED] believes that £2 for an Oasis was "egregious", however unlimited hot drinks and a cake for £4 is very reasonable indeed. Perhaps [REDACTED] should have got a hot drink too.

Finally, we come to our last, yet most important, criteria: would we propose to the love of our life in this café?

We think no. As a busier café, your words of tender love may get lost in the background hum. Also, we suspect that if you proposed in this particular supermarket café, the locals would just stare, and that's just not the reaction you want to start the rest of your life with.

Salmon with Pea and Tarragon Sauce

Sautéed Salmon with Pea and Tarragon Sauce This is just an idea I had to teach the students in my latest cookery class that a few humble ingredients can make a stunning lunch time dish. You can even save money with a little planning. I serve the salmon on crushed baby potatoes and the sauce would you believe is made from chicken stock and frozen peas! In the UK, unfortunately, buying fresh…

ngl we need a uk supermarket tier list :]

oooh ok, lemme put on my thinking cap. Going from least good to best, here is my official UK supermarket tier list. International shops like Aldi and Lidl included because I have only been in very specific areas of the uk

10. Waitrose - Tory hotspot.

9. Marks and Spencer’s - you can get a bra and food but all the clothes are ugly and everything is expensive. Bonus points for Percy Pigs and those cookies.

8. Iceland - I’ve never really been in here, but I’m sure it’s fine. Sells smartwater, however you feel about that.

7. Sainsburys - Honestly I don’t really remember sainsburys apart from the fact that I got a really lovely purple coat with flowers on the quilting when I was very small (like primary one age).

6. Lidl - I attest that this is the worse of the two.

5. Aldi - aldi bakery 💞💞 also the middle aisle 💖💖

4. Tesco - brilliant stuff altogether, just not my favourite.

3. Morrisons - the deli counter tub pasta still has my heart even if the last time I had it I was small enough to fit in the wee seat in the front of a trolley 💔

2. The Co-op - the excitement of getting Moshi monster cards in the co op was unrivaled.

ASDA - my love my love I could go on. From shitty jokes to initials to range and MILK SLICES it’s the best supermarket in the UK by far.

this is less a tier list and more of a ranking but the point stands.

[phoebe-the-autism-fairy]

I'm from the UK so none of these. I usually go to either Morrisons or Asda. And sometimes Tesco as a treat, I fuckin love Tesco.

Supermarket chain Morrisons on Monday (24) announced that it is shutting down its 17 convenience stores and 52 cafes as a part of its second year of its programme of renewal.

Morrisons - Lemon Drizzle Hot Cross Buns

Great texture and a fantastic light bun with quite a subtle lemon flavour. Calling them lemon drizzle is a bit misleading because you expect them to pack the same kind of punch as the cake. They do taste really nice��. BUT… this was a huge put-off for me, when I grilled them they made the kitchen smell like burnt plastic. I’m not sure what was in them that was so pungent when they got toasted but I was ready to call out an oven engineer!

The rating is based on taste alone, but heed the warning about the smell and maybe get someone else to serve them to you!

8/10

i think i'd be a bit worried if water wasn't vegetarian (why isn't it apparently vegan though??)

Oriental Salmon with Stirfried Vegetables

Just like artists, chefs often like to revisit previous recipes they have created and see if they can improve them. I originally wrote this recipe for my newspaper column and served it with crispy rice noodles.  In my revised version, I changed the noodles and made a homemade spring onion and garlic sauce for the stirfried vegetables.  The recipe is very easy and getting a stir fry right is all…
