Tesco Quiche Lorraine

Advantages: Tastes great and good value for money.
Disadvantages: Taste might make you greedy!

...It wasn’t as good as Tesco before, but as shopping at our local Tesco means travelling an extra 10 miles, I didn’t go there for the weekly shop. As I can no longer get all the products I want from my nearest supermarket, and what I can get is often on or unreasonably close to the sell by date, for the price they are charging, I will be visiting Tesco a lot more often. As in this recent warm weather neither I, nor my family, want to generate even ...
...now compare it to the Tesco version. Inside the shortcust pastry (32%), Tesco’s version has smoke flavour bacon and mature cheddar cheese, combined with a creamy egg custard. There are obvious differences in the texture and taste of the filling between the two brands. Tesco’s filling is lighter than what I now regard as the stodgy filling of the Safeway version. Also Tesco’s version is tastier. The dominant taste is of bacon (14%), in a light, creamy ... Read review

Advantages: lovely
Disadvantages: NONE

...But anyway, let's talk about Tesco Quiche Lorraine. First, a bit of background. Quiche Lorraine is not, as many idiots assume, named after a lady called Lorraine. It is actually a derivation of Lord Raine, a nobleman of the 15th century, who spent his spare time experimenting with pastry. You might not think this is true, but it is. Lord Raine actually invented many of the foods we enjoy today, including the vol au vent, the pasty and the chicken ...
...Well funnily enough, it is. Tesco are actually breaking the law by calling it Quiche Lorraine and I am going to sue them. Watch this space. Enough, though, of this true nonsense about the history of quiche. What does the product in its current incarnation taste like? Well, I'll tell you. First of all, the pastry. This is a very important part of any quiche, forming, as it does, what I like to call 'the outer layer' of the quiche. If the pastry is ... Read review

Advantages: Quick to cook, great with salad, lovely flavour
Disadvantages: the finest variety costs £2.99

...in stark contrast to the tesco finest Quiche Lorraine range, with the egg and bacon being my prefered choice! The following review is based on my experience of the product: Packaging: The packaging consists of an outer cardboard box with the quiche situated in a foil tray and on first comparison to the box photograph the lorraine looks different, probably as in the photo its cooked and obviously not when you first buy it! 8/10 for use of recyclable ...
...for landfill! Cooking instructions: Very easy to follow with freezing instructions clear and consise and a maximum cook of 20 minutes, making quiche lorraine an ideal quick meal to have with a salad and potato! 10/10 Taste: Very rich and creamy, with quite a full on cheese flavour, the topping of bacon really stands out as being smoked and is very enjoyable. 10/10 Smell: Lovely 10/10 All in all an enjoyable meal! ...

...Background... Quiche is a french dish that contains mainly eggs and milk or cream that is baked in a shortcrust pastry. Meat, vegeatbles or cheese are also added to the dish to provide colour, flavour and texture. Quiche Lorraine is the most common quiche and consists of eggs, milk, bacon and onion, originally quiche lorraine did not contain cheese however these days many quiche lorraines do. I am a big fan of quiche and have tried several of the Tesco ones and have never been disappointed, this one is no exception and so I decided to give it the recognition it deserves in the hope that more people will give it a try and enjoy it as I have, well here goes... The packaging... = The box is an eyecatching purple colour with a white and blue strip down the right-hand side of the front section displaying a long... Read review

...). Although it is crispy, the moment you bite into it, it crumbles in your mouth and really adds the finishing touch to the quiche. I also like the fact that the pastry does not absorb the flavour of the quiche and still tastes like pastry as on some quiches I have eaten the pastry goes soggy because of the filling of the quiche and doesn’t really taste like pastry. Range As well as producing the broccoli quiche Tesco also have a fairly good selection of other flavours such as Cheese and Onion, Ham Cheese and Onion, Roasted Vegetable, Mushroom and Quiche Lorraine to name a few. Extra Information This quiche can be eaten hot and cold (and tastes great both ways!) This quiche can be frozen so you don’t have to eat it straight away after buying it; I always find it handy to just freeze one for when you fancy it. It does not contain nuts... Read review
