{"product_id":"marks-and-spencer-iced-fruit-cake-400g","title":"M\u0026S Iced Fruit Cake - 400g","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular kind of British Christmas that involves a tin of iced fruit cake sitting on the counter for the better part of December, being sliced at odd hours by anyone who walks past the kitchen. The M\u0026amp;S Iced Fruit Cake is very much part of that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 400g fruit cake from Marks and Spencer, imported from the United Kingdom, finished with a layer of icing in the style that has been on British Christmas tables for generations. It is a proper, dense, fruit-laden cake rather than anything light or casual, and the format makes it easy to slice and serve without ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor British expats in Canada, M\u0026amp;S food carries a specific kind of weight. It is the shop people mean when they say they miss proper British supermarket food. The Great British Shop stocks this cake so that nobody has to wait for a relative to pack it into a suitcase or hope it survives the journey in a Christmas parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 400g it is well sized for a household that wants something genuinely festive without committing to a full-scale Christmas cake operation. It is the sort of thing that sits well on a plate next to a cup of tea, or gets quietly finished off before the main Christmas Day food even gets started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marks-and-spencer\"\u003eM\u0026amp;S in Canada\u003c\/a\u003e available to ship across Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51009412301057,"sku":"GBS-001689","price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/2152\/6714\/files\/marks-and-spencer-iced-fruit-cake-400g.webp?v=1793546646","url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishshop.ca\/products\/marks-and-spencer-iced-fruit-cake-400g","provider":"The Great British Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
