Some shoppers have praised the meal, but others have commented on its unusual appearance

Marks & Spencer savoury pancakes have sparked debate among social media users.

The product was first spotted earlier this year, but shoppers have shared mixed views.


The retailer launched Spinach & Herb Buttermilk Pancakes, which cost £1.90 for a pack of four.

Many Marks & Spencer customers have already tried the treat and some said they were delicious topped with eggs, cheese or meat.

Others were less convinced, however, with many saying the appearance of the spinach in the pancakes put them off.

Responding to a post by food blogger NewFoodsUK, one shopper commented: "I know it's the spinach or herbs but they look mouldy."

Another agreed, writing: "Mouldy [looking] pancakes no thank you, good luck shifting mouldy stock M&S."

Another said: "If anyone bought me spinach pancakes, they'd be single the next day."

A fourth commented on the "mouldy" appearance but added they had tried the product and liked the taste.

They said: "My child told me they looked like mould. I however thought they were great. Had them warmed with spinach, a poached egg and some hollandaise sauce."

One more satisfied shopper said: "They are amazing! I had it with low-fat cream cheese the other day and pulled ham."

"They are really nice toasted with smoked salmon pate on top," said another.
