This is not just any breakfast, this is a lazy girl M&S breakfast – made with the posh supermarket’s new pre-poached eggs.
Available to buy in stores now, the ‘Perfectly Poached Eggs’ are splitting opinions with shoppers.
The pre-packaged eggs come in plastic packaging and are sold still floating in water.
All they need is a quick zap in the microwave and they’re ready to pop on a slice of toast.
But the price of M&S poached eggs, and the amount of packaging involved, is ruffling a fair few feathers.
They’re priced at £2 per packet, which is more expensive than most boxes of half-a-dozen eggs.

Shoppers have said that the product is ‘very lazy’, ‘expensive’ and ‘ridiculous’.
One person said: “The world has gone clinically insane.”
Another asked if it ‘costs six eggs’ – which, reader, it does.
It’s had loads of people reminiscing about similar mad M&S products, like the extremely controversial £2.50 cauliflower steaks of 2018.
Another person wrote: “I remember their jam sandwich that cost more than a loaf of bread and jam about 5 odd years ago….has society became that lazy? Is wall-e now a documentary rather than a fun kids film?”
Someone else said: “I’ve taught my children to poach eggs, it’s a basic skill!”
But lots of people have defended the M&S Perfectly Poached Eggs, pointing out that for those with disabilities, it’s not always that straightforward to crack an egg.
One person said: “wtf are these comments. what if someone’s cooker broke down and they need to eat, or they’ve got mobility problems and can’t cook, etc etc. there are many reasons these could be useful.”
Another pointed out they’d be ‘good for carers to deliver a healthy meal to clients when time constraints are in place’.
But it still seems like this comment sums up the mood of the nation… “What the heck is this.”
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi
Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
