Tesco Breaded Onion Rings

Advantages: Taste pretty good, good value for money
Disadvantages: Quite unhealthy

...One of my favourite tea-time meals has to be steak and chips with mushrooms, onion rings and peas on the side! Mmmm lovely! Its a meal we enjoy regularly at home and I always buy Tescos own branded Breaded Onion Rings to accompany my steak and chips. ~The Product~ Each Onion ring is around 2.5" in diameter with a hollow centre. It is basically a circular ring of onion which has been coated in breadcrumbs, then lightly fried. I am not a huge onion fan in general but I like these as you get a nice taste of the onion, but without it being too strong or overpowering. The breadcrumbs give a nice crunchy exterior to the onion ring when cooked properly and the two textures of the soft onion inside the crunchy coating really compliment each other well. There are two ways in which these onion rings can be cooked. You can either oven...

Tesco Light Choices Naan Bread

Advantages: Taste good, quick and easy and cost effective
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...I am a real fan of Naan breads and regularly buy Tescos own versions as for me they taste just as good as better quality named brands. I have started buying their Light Choices naan breads as they claim to be healthier than their other naan breads. ~The Product~ Tesco Light Choices Naan breads are available in two different sizes. You can get a pack of two large naans in a teardrop shape or a pack of 6 smaller naans which are oval shaped. They are thicker than I expected them to be and rise even further when being warmed up so you end up with a really tasty, filling naan bread. The kalonji seeds are spread sparingly, yet evenly throughout the naan which make the flavour more intense and for me they have the amount of seeds in the bread just right. Although they only take a few minutes to cook, these leave a really warm...

Review of Tesco Naan Breads

Tesco Value Bread

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 Tesco Value bread! The Cost *********** As you would expect, Tesco Value 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...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Tesco Tiger Bread: Delicious rice paste & sesame oil bread.

Advantages: Delicious taste, lovely medium crunchy crust, soft white centre.
Disadvantages: None.

...Tiger bread smells absolutely delicious when freshly baked and I think that Tesco is one of the best stores for this bread. It seems to have become more and more popular recently as Tesco regularly advertise it as a 'weekend loaf' for £1.00 but the standard price is £1.10. The bread is baked fresh in the Tesco in store bakery and if you visit at the right time (lunchtime or first thing) you can frequently find bread that is still warm. The bread is delicious and has quite a unique smell and taste to the crust. It is not the thickest crust and I much prefer it to standard tin loafs of bread. It is nice and easy to slice with a medium crust and a lovely soft fresh white inside. It is not so soft it's soggy and the whole thing just tastes perfect. I believe it is made by spreading rice paste and then sesame oil on top of bread but...

Review of Tesco Tiger Bread

Bread With A Bite

Advantages: Unique taste, absolutely delicious
Disadvantages: Only available in Tesco

...Every now and then, I like to treat myself to some of the freshly baked bread from my local Tesco's bakery. One of my favorite types is Tiger Bread. Why Is It Called Tiger Bread? This bread is referred to as Tiger bread because of the pattern which develops across the top of the bread during the baking process. This is achieved by spreading rice paste and sesame oil on the top of the bread before it is baked. Then, while the bread is baking, the paste dries and cracks which creates stripes across the top of the bread, similar in look and colour to the stripes of a Tiger, hence the name Tiger Bread. Packaging Tiger bread comes pre-packed in a transparent plastic-type wrapping, with a label giving a description of the item and the weight. The packaging is very thin and quite flimsy so often it can break as the crusty bread...

Review of Tesco Tiger Bread

Tesco Value White Bread Baguettes

Advantages: Tastes like fresh bread. Cheap.
Disadvantages: Packaging is not recyclable.

...I cannot get enough of these baguettes at the minute! I love freshly baked bread and although these aren't as good as the real thing they definetly taste fresher than normal bread. At 39p for the two baguettes I really think these are an absolute bargain! I have tried other more expensive part baked bread goods before and I really cannot tell the difference between the more expensive and this cheaper version. The best before date on the baguettes is usually quite long, however, you can freeze them if you want but have to defrost for 2 hours in the fridge if you do decide to do this. Mine aren't normally around long enough to need freezing!! The only packaging is a plastic wrapper so there is not a lot of rubbish to throw away. To bake the baguettes you just simply dampen them with a little water and place on a baking tray in...

Valuable Bread

Advantages: cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: none

...Hi Ciaoers! Sorry I haven’t written an op for so long but Ive been busy working, but I’m back and read to rumble. Here goes! PACKAGING The packaging isn’t the most attractive one throughout the range of bread sold in Tesco, but it is a good image so that you can find it easily on any bread shelf of Tescos. The bag is made of transparent plastic with blue and white stripes running through it. The blue and white stripe motif is the emblem for Tesco value products, so watch out for those. The bag is sealed wit yellow tape at one end of the bag to keep it airtight. The use by date is also present on the yellow tape. APPEARANCE The outer appearance of the bread has a creamy brown colour on the top and pale yellow on the outside. This bread isn’t a crusty bread so don’t expect a crunch when you bite into...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Your daily bread.

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: sliced filler

...Tesco value Sliced bread Well after my op on Tesco value beans what to follow but Tesco value sliced bread. Then you can make Tesco value beans on toast. I do not often eat value sliced bread. I sometimes buy one for the freezer if I am going away so that I have some bread when I get home without going to the shops. When Sleepydormouse was a student she lived on Value bread. It is cheap and filling for those on a low income.. Tesco value bread costs 19p for a loaf. Tesco value sliced bread is available as a large loaf thick or medium slice.. The thick sliced one has about 19 slices so 1p a slice not bad. . It is wrapped in a plastic bag with the Tesco value blue and red design, easily recognisable.. As I said I often have one in the freezer for emergencies. This bread is not available in frozen form at the supermarket...

Tesco Bread; it'll melt in your mouth

Advantages: It tastes like bread, its cheap its bread!
Disadvantages: shorter shelf life, less 'meat on the bone'

...Tesco Value Bread, summed up simply, it does the job. The real question here is do we eat to live, or live to eat? lol im sure most of us are the second. There is no point me going over the ingredients of the bread lol as most reviews already have written alot about them. They used to have a small medium and large sized of tesco value white sliced bread. But now they have scrapped the small size, no suprises there as they were pretty useless. I personally buy the medium sliced bread, i can honestly tell you there isnt much difference in buying the thick or the medium. The bread in my opinion tastes fine, infact it is quite nice. I personally store mine in the fridge to extend shelf life, as the bread is quite cheap it does not have a very long shelf life. - this isnt a bad thing though, as already the bread contains enough...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Doh, no, I mean bread, lol

Advantages: cheap and nice
Disadvantages: none

...Oh can you just tell hubby been shopping, he never liked going shopping for me until the new Tesco Extra opened and now he wants to live in there. Mind you must admit it is handy when I want some time to myself. Tesco Value Bread, Cheap and Nasty or Gorgeously lovely? Packaging --------------- See through transparent bag with the familiar tesco value white band going around the centre of the bag with the 7 thin blue lines on the white band with tesco value bread written on it and also that it is white sliced bread. Also it states it is medium. There are also signs on that say it is suitable for vegetarians and a penguin sign which states it is also ok for home freezing which is a good job as that is where I put mine. It says quality guaranteed and on the underside is the nutritional elements and customer service details...
