TASTING TASTING: Custard
12:38pm Monday 30th March 2009 in Tasting Tasting By Patrick Gough
Ambrosia Devon, 58p.
How did this classic store cupboard staple measure up to the others? Well, it was certainly the richest looking, smooth, creamy and pourable with a similar taste to whippy ice cream. Lost a point though for its ‘strange packet aftertaste’. 4/5
Tesco Ready To Serve Custard, 43p.
Less than six per cent fat. A runny and smooth offering, which didn’t taste that ‘low fat’ but it seemed sweeter than the others.
It did though taste like the custard in a rhubarb and custard boiled sweet or like those custard cream biscuits. The kids might like it. 3/5
Salco Custard for Lidl, 45p
Probably the thickest of the lot: It doesn’t so much pour as dollop. And despite being made with dairy cream, it was a bit ‘thin’ tasting. Yet it did have a good milky flavour. 3/5
Tesco Value Custard, 25p
This was the palest custard and relatively thin. In my book, this was not eggy enough to be a custard and tasted unnatural rather like powdered coffee creamer.2/5
Delicious Desserts Creamy Custard for Aldi, 45p
A thick and hearty fresh custard with that good traditional taste and the right balance of everything. This would be equally comfortable hot on a suet pudding or cold in a trifle. Yum. 5/5
