I think M&S have just picked up on the current fashion for calling deli items picky bits. The term has been around for quite some time but it is now trending probably due to social media. 🤔
Sorry but I won't be buying anything labelled "picky bits". I think it's a revolting phrase and +++++++ YEUK WARNING ++++++ I can't stop myself from thinking of scabs snd noses.
I have called them picky bits for yonks though I don’t know how I picked it up. I saw the sign in M&S at Handforth Dean last week and was delighted. I bought chilli cheese sticks wrapped in chorizo, prawns with sun-dried tomatoes in basil and mozzarella balls in pesto. 3 For £8, all absolutely delicious.
I was in my local (MK) M&S this morning and picked up some bits from the Deli aisle. In Waitrose website the same bits are referred to as “Party Food” or “sharing plates” How much more down to earth ((and to the point) to see in huge letters above the same items in M&S Food in Moseley PICKY BITS 🤣🤣🤣
