Luxury foods

[Caribeing]

What do you class as luxury food, what would you like to indulgence on if you cold afford it, luxury foods are quite expensive, I bought a jar of olives with sundried tomatoes from M/S cost �2.75 but worth it as I enjoyed them. Also like M//S shortcake biscuits. Are there any stores selling food which is a good substitute for "luxury items" to suit our budgets and provide us with the "odd treat"

I never thought a corn fed chicken would be
a luxury food but they now have security
tags on them ..also legs of lamb ...
Try Aldi as they do some nice food ..Lidl is
ok for the basics ..

Most "popular" seafoods (cod, haddock, lobster, crab, scallops) seem to be about �18 a kilo plus. I`ve started going for the less regarded varieties at about �6-�7 a kilo lateley, & with the help of the River Cottage Fish Book had some delicious results.

Well, caviar, obviously.

A small jar of Beluga Caviar is �650.

Waitrose sell jars of Lumpfish Caviar for about �3.00. It's lovely.

They also sell packs of cocktail blinis. Heat them under the grill, butter them, and spoon on a pile of lumpfish caviar. I can sit and trough my way through a jar of lumpfish caviar, and a pack of blinis, just for lunch. Yummy.

At �1.59 a loaf the bread my husband and I like is almost a luxury. We've bought a bread maker and are now making our own.
