Tesco Custard Slices

When it comes to treating myself and the family to either a bun or a cake I will always go to Greggs and on occassions Morrisons, as they have a great selection of goodies at a reasonable price. Tesco does not seem to have a large selection of choice and all the buns and cakes I have tried have never been as a tasty. Therefore I do not really buy my treats from Tesco, however for some reason my Dad seems to think I like Tesco Custard Slices and every couple of weeks will buy me some. They are ok and I do eat them but they are no where near as nice as Vanilla Alices from Greggs or Morrisons. Tesco Custard Slices come in a two pack and can be found in the ...  Read the complete review

I have just discovered the wonderful world that is shopping in Tesco. Perhaps at the moment everything is just novel however I have found so many new delightful products that were not available in my previous supermarket. As it is now my local so to speak I will be reviewing bits and bobs that take my fancy over the next few weeks. Shopping the other day I felt like a cake with my afternoon cup of tea and I discovered a pack of rather delicious looking custard slices. Well with the diet well and truly out of the window I decided to add them to my basket. These custard slices were an absolute bargain. You get two relatively large squares for a £1 mine were ...  Read the complete review

We have a strange custom where I work, that if it is your birthday you have to buy cakes for the rest of the office. I think it's strange because surely if it's your birthday, you should get gifts not have to buy things, but it is the custom and who am I to complain, it gets us lots of cakes! One of my colleagues had his birthday so very kindly brought in some cakes, one of which I am now reviewing, Tesco's custard slices. These are found in the chilled cabinets along with the fresh cream cakes. The pack is pale blue with a cut out section so you can see and be tempted by the delicious looking cakes inside. There are two in a pack. On the ...  Read the complete review

Vanilla, custard slice, or if in France - (Mille-feuilles). My favourite pastry of all time. I am hopeless at making cakes or biscuits by hand and for someone of my generation this shouldn't be so. Put me in front of the stove with a whole bunch of veg, fish or meat and I can come up with some terrific culinary delights but when it comes to cakes - oh boy disaster after disaster. My mum says that I don't have the delicate touch - I would say I don't have the patience. That is the reason I always buy cakes from supermarkets and one of my favourites is Tesco's custard slice. Ooops! Dooyoo have given me the Tesco logo again instead of the picture of custard ...  Read the complete review

'TESCO Custard Slices" are a delicious sweet and flaky treat that can be found in packs of two in the fresh dessert section of the chilled cabinets. ~ Packaging ~ The custard slices are presented in a neat pale blue cardboard box with a cellophane window that affords a clear (and enticing) view of the items within. To the left-hand side of the window is a helpful graphic that responsibly informs you that each individual slice contains 310 calories, 22.4g of sugar, 14.2g of fat, 7.5g of saturates and 0.5g of salt, and how that computes as percentages of your daily allowance. So you cannot plead ignorance! The box front also ...  Read the complete review
