Advantages: Used to taste good 6 months ago

Disadvantages: No longer edible

6 months ago, while staying at a friend's house I was offered a hamburger . When I enquired where they were from I was surprised to find out they were Tesco's brand. Advertised as Aberdeen, containing 2 burgers per pack at £1.85 this seemed like reasonable value. I continually purchased them for a while cooking them grilled, fried and barbecued.

However in the last couple of months of purchasing these from 3 different Tesco's chains the taste seems to have changed.
While from the packaging, everything seems to be the same, the actual burger no longer tastes the same. Rather than having that nice chewy taste to it, recently Tesco's finest burgers taste like tired worn out old rubber lacking any taste.

Tesco's burgers are often sold out so they must be popular. This new taste could partly be due to the Christmas holiday season when supermarkets have a tendency to flog stale food to the public. Another possibility is that maybe they switched meat supplier or altered the process in some way in order cut costs.
Overall these burgers used to taste good especially when I first tried them 6 months ago. However based on my experience of eating them recently I do not recommend these for human consumption. If you eat Tesco's finest burgers please let me know what you think of the taste.

Summary: not recommended for human consumption
