Tesco Value Malt Loaf Reviews

I think Malt Loaf is a proper weird food, it's like Jaffa Cakes in a way because I never know whether it's a loaf or a cake and can eat it both ways! We normally buy Soreen but last week they only had the double packs of that one in and that would be a waste for us because we don't eat it a lot as a family and even part of just one loaf ...  Read the complete review

I grew up in Preston and in those years malt loaf was something my mum used to dish up - except that she didn't call it malt loaf. "D'ya want some claggy?" She would offer when my brother and I came in from playing in the fields. The answer was invariably yes (as we were scrawny little scraps who were always hungry because we ...  Read the complete review

Visiting Grandma on a Sunday, always consisted of "High Tea" at about 4pm. Hard boiled eggs, silverskin onions, sliced meat, buttered finger rolls, chocolate eclairs and Mr Kipling fondant fancies......and malt loaf with a slab of butter on each slice. All served on the Sunday best china, with doilies where appropriate, and those net ...  Read the complete review

Undoubtedly it was the price that first drew our attention to this loaf, and if you can find it, conveniently nestled in at the bottom of the shelf almost hidden from view, I highly recommend you try it. Coming in at an astonishingly cheap 18 pence (at the time of writing), there is an immediate "buy me" appeal of this malt ...  Read the complete review

When I saw that Soreen Malt Loaf was on offer in Tesco this week at two for £1 I thought I'd get away with it but no, the Mrs insisted that I had to try value malt loaf as part of our economy drive too. I was not amused, what's wrong with 50p for a nice malt loaf?!! This cost 18p though which I suppose is a lot less in the grand ...  Read the complete review

Malt loaf is a firm favorite in our house when it comes to finding something to snack on in an evening when we are getting a little peckish, at less than 20 p each the tesco malt loaf is great value for money, it comes in the usual basic plain packaging that there value range comes in without any frills but after all its not the packet I am going ...  Read the complete review

My 4 year old son has a strange obsession with Malt Loaf. Normally, we buy brand names for things he eats, as we feel he needs the necessary quality food while he is young to give him the best nutritional start possible. However, we decided to give this a go as a one off just to see what it was like, and if indeed he liked it. In ...  Read the complete review

I would never have bought this but tried it at a friend's house. It wasn't half bad! I probably still wouldn't choose to buy it but I wouldn't turn my nose up if it was offered to me. It is really tasty! It is quite a sticky loaf, which I really like. It is also very dense and pretty filling. There is not as much fruit in this loaf ...  Read the complete review

I decided to buy this malt loaf after reading some reviews of it on this site. I have tried quite a few of Tesco's Value products, and have generally been very pleased and satisfied with them. The Tesco Value Malt Loaf costs 18 pence for a smallish loaf (it doesn't give the weight on the packaging). The information on the front suggests that it ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Value Malt Loaf comes in a white wrapper with the usual Tesco Value red and blue markings on it. The packaging is labelled as recyclable where facilities exist, which is a good thing because so many products are over packaged. I was unable to find a weight on the packaging but according to the nutritional information, one portion ...  Read the complete review

I have been trying out a few value things recently with the credit crunch and also because I think it's fun to see what you can buy cheaply. It's not quite so vital in our house to be as frugal as we once were as we are down to 3- but not so long ago the walls were brimming with 9 people here sometimes when I think this malt loaf would have ...  Read the complete review

At 18p and loving malt loaf when I saw this I just had to buy it and try it of course! I love Tesco's supermarket and usually find myself bumbling about and quite often lately I will buy their own cheaper brands to try out as I don't lose much if things are not so good and quite often they actually are! I was Particularly interested in trying this ...  Read the complete review

One of the gems I've discovered in the Tesco Value range is their version of a malt loaf. Its packet is certainly not as pretty as the lovely Soreen wrapper, but at 18p per loaf I can forgive them for keeping the look simple. Bearing in mind my usual Soreen costs 85p, I definitely had to give this product a try as this is a fantastic ...  Read the complete review

I am slowly working my way through the Tesco value range at the moment. Some products, like their soggy sausges, are truly terrible but there are some winners too and the value malt loaf is one of them. Upon opening the packet, you are met by a small cake in a traditional loaf shape. It is much lighter than the Soreen malt loaf, more ...  Read the complete review
