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.”
Beloved Leeds restaurant Salvo's has closed suddenly due to 'unexpected dispute' with landlord.
Salvo's over on Otley Road in Headingley is a real Leeds institution.
Having first opened in 1976, it has been serving generations of families for fifty years with its authentic Italian menu.
The much loved restaurant announced the heartbreaking news to their social media today stating that the unexpected closure is down to an 'unexpected dispute' with their landlord.
The post read: "To our dearest customers, friends, and supporters,
"It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we must share some devastating news. Due to an unexpected dispute with our landlord, we have been forced to close our doors effective immediately.
"This morning, the landlord changed the locks and denied our team access to the premises. This means we are, with immediate effect, unable to honor any existing bookings, provide table service, or welcome you for the dining experience we love to create.
"We want to be unequivocally clear: We have always met our obligations, including rent and all bills. Our dedicated team has worked tirelessly, not just to serve exceptional food, but to build a community within our walls. Through the immense challenges of the hospitality economy, we fought to stay afloat, committed to our staff, our suppliers, and most of all, to you.
"Our hope now is to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We remain committed to our dream and to serving you again."
The post continued: "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your incredible support, your laughter that filled our dining room, and your loyalty. It has been our greatest honor to serve you.
"We will update you here as soon as we have more information. Please keep our team in your thoughts."
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism given green light to open in Leeds suburb
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain can now open a new branch in a Leeds suburb after plans have been agreed.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meandwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
Burgerism's new takeaway will be near the famed Zucco restaurant and The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
The planning officer's report stated that the applicant must give sufficient details of extraction equipment to prevent the odour for people living above.
It read: “The application site relates to a vacant ground floor premises within a parade of three commercial units in a local town centre. Above the premises are three floors of purpose-built self-contained flats.”
A design report by Burgerism read: “The proposal will ensure the continued use of a vacant hot food takeaway and will support the continued viability of the town centre of Meanwood, with an exciting new operator in the market.”
The brand-new Burgerism would employ 15 people from the local area and would serve food between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, so you can get your Burgerism fix.
