Who says TescoValue food isn't up to scratch? Well on the contrary my dear Watson...here's a small dessert that is second to none - their individual strawberry cheesecake.
Found in the yoghurts section of your local Tesco, these 100 gram pots cost around the 40p mark. They may not look the most appealing of desserts - in a clear plastic pot with a foil lid with the words TescoValue inscribed on it. Hardly a great advertisment, but fear not, once you try them then you'll keep going back for more.
The strawberry topping is absolutely delicious - sweet, thick and tastes like genuine strawberries rather than some artifical nonsense. The base is a little bit soft compared to a first-class cheesecake base, but remember, you're eating TescoValue here so there can be no qualms about it's quality in comparison with the price ...
Advantages: Taste good, plenty of meat, cheap Disadvantages: High fat content
I invited the family over last week for a pre-Christmas tea. We decided on a hot buffet where people could help themselves but with the pennies being a bit tight we brought some TescoValue chicken drumsticks to add to our buffet. I don't tend to buy Value meat products as I am a bit funny when it comes to meat and prefer to pay a bit extra for a better quality cut.
For the price of just £2.15 you get eight decent sized drumsticks in a pack. They are very simple to prepare and take around 35-40 minutes to cook. To ensure they are cooked through thoroughly you can check the juices are running clear and the meat inside is no longer pink in colour.
Anyway I have to say they went down a treat and were a far better drumstick than I expected them to be. For starters at this price I didn't expect there to be much meat on them, but I was ...
Advantages: very cheap, ok if you are on a serious budget Disadvantages: goes mouldy quickly, not very tasty
Bread. One of the nations staple foods, and certainly one of my favourites. There is so much you can do with bread, from bread and butter pudding, to sandwiches and toast, to dippy soldiers and croutons.
Most people eat bread most days of the week and if it is made the right way with the right kind of flour it can be very healthy for you.
Bread these days somes in all manner of shapes and sizes, flavours and colours and will a whole range of toppings and additions such as sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, fruit... the list goes on.
.... not TescoValue bread!
The Cost
***********
As you would expect, TescoValue bread is cheap. Very cheap! Currently it is 23p per 800g loaf in my local Tesco store. Whereas most high quality loaves cost in excess of 85p for the same sized loaf you would be forgiven for thinking that ...
