Advantages: taste, price, convenience

Disadvantages: how it looks

I must confess to having a strange relationship with Rice Pudding, visually I cant stand the stuff as it reminds me too much of awful school puddings I had to endure years ago but when I tasted it again many years later I found that I actually quite liked it after all.

Thats why for me, these little pots of Ambrosia Rice pudding are ideal, I can eat them straight from the tub and dont have to look at a bowlful of it. The variety I normally buy in is the Low Fat one which comes in a 150g blue and white plastic pot with a foil peel off lid.

Nutrition information on the pot tells me that the whole tub will provide:

137 kcals
5.0g protein
24.9g carbohydrates
13.2g of which sugars
2.0g fat
1.1g of which saturates
0.1g fibre
0.1g sodium
156mg calcium

Peeling back the lid I am met with the unappealing (to me) sight of little grains of rice contained in a white creamy sauce. The taste however is really light, creamy and delicious, either served cold or zapped in the microwave for 50 seconds so it goes hot I really enjoy the flavour and scrape every last morsel up.

Its not something I have every day I do admit, but when I do eat it I always enjoy it and find it to be a light desert and is ideal to take to work or school as part of a packed lunch.

Ingredients reveal that the product contains: skimmed milk, full cream milk, whey, rice, sugar and you are informed that there are no artificial ingredients and that it is a good source of calcium.

Dairy intolerant people will of course know that this product is unsuitable for them.

Another good thing about these pots is their shelf life, the one I have in my fridge at the moment has a best before date of May 2010 so will last a long time between buying it and it going off.

I would certainly recommend these pots if you like a quick fix of rice pudding every now and then and dont want the hassle of opening a big tin.

Priced around 40p each they do occasionally appear on offer for 3 for a pound so worth stocking up on. They can be found in chilled desert aisle in your local supermarkets and also on the home baking aisle, depending on where you shop.

4/5 from me, taste wise they are delicious, I just dont like looking at it!
