Duchess Potatoes - Lidl

Verdict

Quick and easy, take about 20 minutes from frozen - probably enough for 5 portions in one pack. They also look nice.  Tasty if you add some salt and a bit of pepper.

Manchego Cheese & Piquillo Croquettas - Marks & Spencer

Verdict

Best tasting Croquetes I have had from a supermarket.  The Chilli Mayo is pretty hot, but works well with the Croquetes.

Good deal when included as part of £10 meal for 2 offer.

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

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.
