Last night I ate some Buffalo Mozzerella from Morrisons that was much much better than I was expecting. Tasting it was very nearly as good as being in Italy! (I admit to having very low expectations of UK supermarket food, but that's another issue.)

Do you have any particular food items from supermarkets (presumably favourite items) that turned out to taste really very much better than you were expecting?

Pls give the exact items, a comment why and which Supermarket, even if the item has since become unavailable or very hard to find (it does happen!)

If you're not a foodie, you'd perhaps best ignore this thread! smile

Sainsbury Taste the Difference Dijon Mustard, I'd add that to this list too.

I've just tried Aldi's frozen jacket potatoes. 96p for four and two of them take 7 minutes in the microwave. They come out beautifully fluffy and with just the two of us now it seems more economical the using the oven to bake a couple of spuds.

the slices should be placed in a platter and then "oiled" with olive oil
and left for an hour or so, pepper can also be sprinkled on them or some lemon juice .....not so good dry.
