    In the late 70s, I worked in a CoOp creamery in the middle of Wales. We made butter, cream, evaporated milk, powdered milk and rice pudding. We made rice pudding to about 6 or 7 different recipes for different retailers. The higher quality puddings with the premium label, such as Ambrosia, had more rice and less sugar. The lower quality had more sugar than rice. All made in the same factory. The marketing would have you believe that these things are made by the retailers, but it's not the case. The main difference is price!

      My mam used to insist on heating it up - but refused to buy more than one tin - realising that it was not enough, she would then, in a bid to make it go further, go to the sink and then proceed to douse it in copious quantities of Northumbria’s finest council pop!
      She did the same thing with other tinned “milk pudding” products - sago, semolina, tapioca, macaroni (yes, you used to get sweet macaroni before macaroni cheese was a thing) - only bought one tin of the product in question and added water to it, as “It makes it go further!”. Did the same thing with spaghetti-type products, ravioli and even beans in tins - and don’t get me started on her tinned soup!
      I like those things cold as well - tin to bowl to mouth! Best with jam in - wonder what it would be like with Nutella?

      When they first came to the UK it was literally pile it high and keep it cheap as that is what the German stores are like. Germans don’t care what it looks like but Brits do. A lot of people will not go into a shop they don’t like the look of. Retailers say we are the Italians of North Europe. Aldi have done a brilliant job of adapting to British tastes and that is why the stores are now a lot more attractive.

I had a Clubcard for a few years but the only info they had that was me was the address everything else was fake.

    Good review, rice pudding is the ultimate comfort food for me, if I ever compile a list of 'last meals', it would be in there somewhere. My mum used to do hers in a loaf tin in the oven and it spooned out very dry, almost like a cake, over which you poured milk and sprinkled sugar. The rice pudding in school was a different beast altogether, more like the tinned stuff, but lovely in its own way. It looks like there's very little compromise for the Aldi one here, for half the price.

    I went through a phase where I'd stir in a cadburys flake while heating it, talk about a calorie bomb and no wonder I'm type 2 now 😂😂 Got an own brand from an Irish supermarket a few months back and all I can say is the cats loved it.👹 Great money saving review Gareth. I'll go England 3 Switzerland 1. At least some of us Irish shouting for our neighbours 👊👊

    Hi Gareth. It’s nice to know you getting a lot better now, but bloody Nora £2.00 from Morrisons compared from the other main shops . Another great video, definitely get some Aldi rice pudding. Regards mark

    I've only had home made rice pudding. I've always put raisins in it.
    And I'm pretty sure it was at least 70% rice. I'm thinking I put eggs in it.
    The last time I made it I was in my mid 20's. I'm 67 now.

      Grate a little nutmeg on the top. Lovely.

      Tinned is quite nice but really not the same thing. As others have said nutmeg on top is good and raisins is a good idea. For variation you can add coconut milk

      Ambrosia do a Traditional Rice Pudding that has sultanas and nutmeg in it, that might be worth a try if you get a craving for it.
      I will say that the 9% rice is because it’s put into the tin raw, so it’s 9% of the volume of the can is uncooked rice that then cooks and swells through the retort process in the can and takes (if memory serves me correctly) around an hour and twenty minutes to come up to temperature, cook and cool down enough for the cans to be handled/labelled.

    Cheers Gareth, get well soon lad, more comparison vids please, try low fat custard or something like that.

  • @stephenjohnpresnal4310

    I wouldn’t buy either - I’d rather pay more for a quality rice pudding. I usually buy M&S’s fresh (not tinned) clotted cream rice pudding. It’s around £4 but you get a good amount (500g), and it’s fresh and really creamy - made with 19% clotted cream and a hint of nutmeg.

    Yes agreed I love rice pudding I generally buy the Aldi dessert menu tinned rice pudding and I like it cold straight from the tin however the Aldi own rice pudding in pots with strawberry compote and the plain version the Aldi version of Muller rice is lovely too 😋😋

    The funny thing is Gareth I could never stand home made rice pudding but I could sit with a can of Ambrosia and a spoon and eat the whole lot no problem,good video big pal

    Tinned foods are meant to be heated whilst still in the tins ... put in a pan of water over heat, then peal away. Comes from how to boil a potatoe.... water does not spoil the produce 😉

    Ambrosia has always been dear compared to other brands even there custard is more expensive than the original Birds custard( I know that is in a packet but you cannot buy a tub of custard powder and still save money) thanks fir the review I know where I will be going to get my rice pudding.
