Marks and Spencer has launched a new product that has customers amazed: cauliflower cheese with Marmite. The national chain introduced the dish in its Foodhalls, aiming to 'level up' the classic side dish for autumn.
Announcing the launch on Instagram, M&S said: 'New in the M&S Foodhall – ready to LEVEL UP your cauliflower cheese this Autumn?! This month we’ve collabed with Marmite AGAIN and launched a DECADENT side dish – It’s Cauliflower Cheese and Marmite.' The product features tender cauliflower florets in a creamy, cheesy Marmite sauce, topped with toasted Marmite breadcrumbs.
Despite Marmite's 'love it or hate it' reputation, reactions to the post were almost completely positive. One shopper commented: 'OMG! I can't breathe!' Another wrote: 'Ooo you are such tempters... Cauliflower cheese yum marmite yum together yumyum.'
The product, named 'It's Cauliflower Cheese & Marmite', is described on M&S's website as having 'veggie florets covered in a sumptuous extra mature cheddar cheese sauce and crowned with a crispy, savoury breadcrumb topping.' It weighs 350g, is suitable for vegetarians, and should be kept refrigerated (not suitable for freezing). Prices vary by store, generally between £3.75 and £4.25.
