Advantages: Good Taste, Easy To Cook

Disadvantages: None

I found these tucked away at the back of our freezer the other day and was surprised to find them because they aren't the sort of thing my mum usually buys and I can't remember buying them myself. I was pretty hungry and thought I might as well give them a shot since there weren't many other options staring me in the face.

Packaging

This product comes in a small cardboard box with a picture of two pizza baguettes on the front and the brand Carlos at the top. The product is described as
'Two white baguette bases with a tomato sauce topped with cheddar & mozzarella cheeses'

A pretty good description in my book as that is exactly what you get. The two baguettes are wrapped in plastic and inside the box. Not quite sure if there is any need for the plastic but these days manufacturers just seem to wrap everything in plastic. The packaging includes all the usual info on how to cook the product, nutritional information and storage instructions.

The packet itself is quite eye catching with blue and red being the main colours and a very clear picture of the product.

Cooking Instructions

These baguettes can only be cooked one way and that's in the oven. They take about 20 minutes in the oven at 200 C and its best if you cook them from frozen. You can tell when they are cooked because the cheese on the top goes a lovely golden brown colour and they look proper tasty.
Appearance

When I took them out of the packet I was a little disappointed by the size of the baguettes and the amount of cheese on top of them. But after cooking and eating it was clear that anything much bigger would have been too much and that in fact there was more than enough cheese on the baguettes as I think it must have expanded during cooking of something like that.
The Taste Test

I was rather surprised by how good these were usually these sort of frozen snacky type foods are a little disappointing but these tasted pretty good and filled a hole. The tomato sauce was really good as some pizzas try to hard with the sauces and fill it with herbs and other sorts of rubbish. This sauce was left alone and tastes great; the cheese was also really good and looked really tasty when it had been melted.

The Price

Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how much these cost because I found them in the family freezer and I didn't buy them but being from Aldi I cant imagine them being particularly expensive.

The Verdict

I would have to recommend these as they are a really good product to have lurking in the freezer for when you are hungry and the rest of the house is devoid of food. They taste great and cooking them is so easy. The other bonus is that they are a complete meal and don't require anything else to go with them. I can imagine these would be great if you had kids and one baguette per kid would probably be enough for them.

Summary: Good product
