Celebrate the world coming together with Marks and Spencer’s global flavours

To celebrate the launch of the highly-anticipated Expo 2020 Dubai, leading British retailer, Marks and Spencer operated by Al-Futtaim Group marks the world coming together through the universal joy of food! Inspiring customers to discover cuisines from India to Italy, China to Mexico and the UK, Marks and Spencer’s extensive food selection allows foodies to enjoy flavours from across the globe, in the comfort of their own kitchen.

Famously known as the home of spices, no country produces as many unique and intriguing flavours as India. Each dish has something to tickle the tastebuds; from Spicy Mango Chutney, a garam masala spice blend served alongside poppadoms, to Tikka Masala. Behind every dish is a plate laden with Basmati Rice paired with soft Naan, a hand-shaped flatbread flame-baked in a tandoor-style oven and a cooling combination of chopped cucumbers and chilled yoghurt. 

For those craving flavours of the Far East, Marks & Spencer has the perfect selection of ingredients to help you prepare an unforgettable Chinese dish from Sichuanese Kung Pao Chicken to Cantonese roast duck. Ditch takeout and opt for DIY with pantry staples like Soy Sauce, Stir Fry Vegetables, and Fine Egg Noodles. Pair with the popular hand-rolled crisp pastry, Spring Rolls filled with oriental vegetables, or enjoy them as a solo snack paired with Sweet Chilli Sauce offering the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavours.

Italian food has captivated tastebuds around the globe for centuries, thanks to its simplicity and ease, making Italian dishes like pasta and pizza a go-to weeknight dinner option. Treat yourself to a huge bowl of the classic crowd-pleasing comfort food, with a traditional firery, Arrabiata Sauce, a slow-cooked Italian Soffritto Base finished with Spicy Calabrian Chillies accompanied by fresh tomatoes, basil and Egg Tagilatelle or Tricolore Spaghetti, made from The Felicetti family’s pasta, specially selected durum wheat semolina and Alpine spring water crafted in the Italian Alps. Top it off with Italian herb seasoning which is a blend of dried herbs and red bell pepper flakes to sprinkle in sauces for a fresh, herby flavour and buon appetito…dinner’s all set! 

Hungry for Mexican? Nothing beats an authentic Mexican feast extravaganza using ingredients from Marks and Spencer. Gather your amigos and prepare a mouth-watering banquet. Whip up a creamy bowl of guacamole with fresh avocados, and place alongside a smoky red salsa and fajita spice mix for that kick of sweetness, smoke and spice all encased in soft tacos made from perfectly soft flour tortillas and it’s a guaranteed fiesta in your mouth. 

We arrive at the home of hearty dishes; the United Kingdom is best known for its comforting Sunday roasts comprised of tender and juicy roast beef joint from New Zealand Farms with mashed potatoes and carrots nestled alongside a stack of traditional Yorkshire puddings ready to be drenched in a moreish gravy. A true staple, the simplest of ingredients come together to create a powerhouse of flavour.

Expo 2020 celebrates the world coming, and there is no better way than celebrating though a shared love of food. Whether it’s Taco Tuesday or a Sunday Roast, customers can discover the world through food when they shop at Marks and Spencer.
