Current recommendations to buy
OK, so it has occured to me that some of us search out "the something special" when trying to conjure up tomorrows dish. Some days I find something good but mostly wonder what could be "just around the corner" so wouldnt it be good to share foody things we have found lately to help others in their search?
I am still searching this year for really good spuds, good enough for perfect bakers but so far no go.
What I have found is:
Mercadona - marinated pork joint (comes with plastic mushroom sauce mix) which is around the 10 euro mark but after a 3 hr slow roast is fantastic meat for at least 4 or 6 people. Good hot and cold, thoroughly recommended.
Carrefour in past couple of weeks have started a surtido of mushrooms. 4 types of fungi in an economic pack with champis, setas, sh it aki and bolletus. Plus nearby another (long stemmed - cant recall the name) variety to make up a 5 mushroom dish. {I dont believe it but A.com bleeps out the proper japanese name for sh 1 taki mush}
El Corte Ingles have just put on their shelves little packs of four wonderful fungi varieties plus the old champis and setas again making a varied fungi dish possible. Normally their "huge" packs of champis and setas are too big to use before they get past it.
and so far Lidl is the only place to get bread mix.
... anybody else got some recommendations ?

You can get new potatoes now - look for "patatas para guarnación". Delicious just scrubbed and cooked & served in their skins....we had some t'other day with a salmon steak (15 mins in 150 oven, in buttered foil packets with a little s&p and a slice of lemon) and bobby beans.pilgrim wrote: We usually have Marks & Sparks new potatoes for xmas

Sourcing it up here is not easy and a trip to Mijas is a fair drive there and back. We tend to pick it up in UK when up or Gib for re stock of sausages etc and a haircut ! ( also a good excuse for a wander round our wedding venue)
I really need to find an english speaking hairdresser nearer home though, i know some woman travel miles for theirs BUT all the way to Scotland or Brussels is a bit TOO much every 4/6 weeks

Last year we bought some bread mix from Lidl, 3 different kinds, very good value. The only problem was two of the packs had weevils so we will only mix our own now. Orange & walnut bread is wonderful, except that it doesn't last very long, and you get slapped if you cut bits off while it is still hot.
