Asda Smartprice Rice pudding

Review of Asda Smart Price Rice Pudding This review covers a canned rice pudding from the Asda economy budget range, known as Smart Price. Along with many other supermarkets budget lines, Asda's Smart Price is a range of lower priced, simply packaged basic items. ==The Product== Rice pudding, it is an old fashioned milk pudding, which is still popular today. Although, not hard to make from scratch at home, rice pudding is something I never cook, as I prefer to buy a canned version. We generally have several cans in the larder as a standby quick dessert. As my household budget is currently at an all time ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to rice pudding I can't get enough of the stuff though I don't like home made at all (before anyone comments on this do bear in mind you haven't tasted my Mothers! lol) So occasionally I'll indulge my taste-buds to some Ambrosia or something but today I saw this in my local Asda store costing 18p for a large looking can so decided to try it out!

This is one of those products that I buy with every online shop and I always try to make sure I have at least one tin in the cupboard. The product costs around 35p for a tin and is such great value for money. You can eat the rice hot or cold and depending what mood I'm in will depend on which way I eat it. Its great warmed up on a cold winters night but on a summer's evening I like to eat it straight from the tin. When the tin is opened you will be met with a creamy mixture. The rice is plentiful but there is also plenty of milk surrounding the grains without drowning the poor things. The rice itself is nice and soft without being too ...  Read the complete review
