Hellmanns Ceasar dressing versus Tesco's Garlic and Herb dressing

Picture

Verdict

No comparison, Hellmanns wins by a mile, it's really moreish. The Tesco's own one is less creamy and just too sharp for my taste.



Buy Again - Yes or No

Yes to Hellmanns
No to Tesco own brand

Santini Tomatoes - Marks & Spencer

Picture

Verdict

The only supermarket tomatoes worth buying, much more flavour than other ranges I have tried. Find myself eating them on their own, but great with Wild Rocket and Hellmanns Ceasar dressing.

Stone Baked Pizza - Smokey Maple Bacon & Mushroom - Marks & Spencer

Verdict

Cheaper than the Hickory Steak pizza, which is also part of this range.  The Hickory Steak one is better, but this one is pretty good too.  Can easily do 4 portions when served with salad.

Can be cooked from Frozen.

Definately a treat, moist with lots of fruit - a winner if you like almonds.


Buy Again - Yes or No

Hickory Smoked Pork Rib Rack - Marks & Spencer

Picture

Verdict

Really good, enough for 2 people, the pork just falls off the bone. Nice with salad.
Excellent deal when bought as part of the 3 for £10 range.

Can be frozen.


Buy Again - Yes or No

Initially Yes, until I found BBQ Spare Ribs at Lidl Their Rack is twice the size, much cheaper and just as tasty.

Toffee and Honeycomb Traybake - Marks & Spencer

Picture

Verdict

Bought as part of a £6 meal for two deal (Main course, Side Order and Dessert), this was the dessert, which in my view can easily do 4 people. You can not eat a lot of it, it's light but very, very sweet.


Buy Again - Yes or No

No, would choose another option for the meal deal, just too sweet even for me.
