I would recommend not buying meat and potato pies from Morries aswell. I'm pretty sure they make their shortcrust pastry from 100% lard, which is nice if you like it that way, but for me (I normally make it 75% butter, 25% lard), it was horrible and made me feel sick, bleugh

I've never tried real or fake panettone - what's so great about it?

Panettone is quite a pleasant 'cake' makes a change from traditional British sweet stuff at this time of the year. Personally, I rarely eat it fresh but try to buy it up when reduced later to make fab 'summer' puddings.

Another vote here for Lidl's stollen and their chocolate marzipan bars are to die for. It's so hard to keep them for Christmas.:o

Can't say I'm a fan. Bought one from an Italian Deli in London and a bit underwhelmed but each to their own.

I bought the Morries's one the other day as it was reduced because the side was bashed in.
I thought it was quite nice as a fruit loaf/cake but it doesn't taste like panettone.
I wouldn't buy it again, unless reduced. As you say, their normal fruit loaf is much cheaper - and actually really nice and makes great toast or a fab bread & butter pudding.

yummy? Have you ever tried the real Panettone? I've just bought the Morrison "panettone" and it tastes bland, dry...just like fluffy sugary bread with some currants - (then of course is a matter of taste)...it shouldn't be called panettone and I now understand why Italians are so protective of their own products....
Unfortunately some would assume Morrison's Panettone is the proper one - it reminds me of a Thai guy who didn't like Ciabatta bread - "where did you buy it?" I asked, "at ASDA" he said...yeah, that fluffy, bland, pointless bread shaped like a Ciabatta - of course he didn't try Ciabatta bread again after his ASDA's experience...

Your punctuation is so identical to the OP's that you have obviously re-registered to back yourself up. Bit of a storm in a teacup over bread for goodness sake.
