Marks & Spencer fans go wild as store reveals ‘food invention of year’
Marks and Spencer has never been afraid to try new things in their phenomenally popular food range but their latest innovation may be a stretch too far for some people.
Not content with cornering the market on luxury pies and kievs, the high street favourite had delighted fans by announcing a new ‘food invention’ combining both as one meaty, crumby parcel.
The new device, which the store has brashly named the ‘Chicken Pie-Ev’ has certainly sparked debate online.
Yesterday (Thursday, March 4) M&S took the opportunity to introduce their new product by bragging to their Instagram followers.
Their listing read: “WELL, PIE NEVER! Just in time for British Pie Week, we’ve created the invention of the year… A CHICKEN PIE-EV!
“In a UK first, we’ve combined two of the nation’s favourite dishes – Chicken Kiev and Pie!
“Oh so garlicky… our Gastropub pie is made with succulent British chicken in a creamy garlic butter sauce, topped with crunchy panko breadcrumbs, encased in all butter shortcrust pastry, with a puff pastry lid! YUM!
“Did you know that the M&S introduced the Chicken Kiev as the UK’s FIRST chilled prepared meal in 1979? Revolutionising the way we eat! You can pick up the UK’s first Chicken Pie-Ev in store now!”
The snap saw the pancakes, which come in packs of four, next to its brightly coloured wrapping while the pancakes were ready on a plate.
Fans were loving the post, with it racking up more than 5,000 likes.
One Twitter user tagged their friend simply writing: “Oh my God!”
Quickly their friend realised the seismic importance of the announcement, replying: “Just when we thought it can’t get any better!!

Some of M&S’ followers were quick to fall at the feet of their god and express their gratitude to the brand that had blessed them with so impressive a bounty.
Two friends met in the comment section.
One explained: “oh my god….. Two of my favourite things combined…”
The other affirmed: “We need this in our life.”
