Own Brands: The Christmas Taste Test

We all like to indulge when it comes to our Christmas feast. We spend months saving so we can afford ourselves a little bit of luxury. But ever wondered if it's worth getting a turkey from the butchers for over £100 or if a more affordable option from the supermarket will suffice? Well, we're going to find out.

Some of the packaging might look just like them. The names might be weirdly similar. But can we tell the difference between Aldi's Ballycastle Irish Country Cream Liqueur and Baileys or Fortnum and Mason's Pudding and a more affordable luxury supermarket pudding? Surely they don't taste the same as the brands with their secret recipes. Or do they and perhaps even better? Maybe we could save ourselves a few quid. We've set up a series of taste tests to see if the knock offs can knock out the heavyweight brands in this Christmas edition. From crackers to candles, we've got your Christmas table covered. We even see what festive sandwich you should be buying whilst on your lunchbreak. How do the supermarkets make these festive treats so cheap? We're back in the Good Food Studio with food scientist, Amir, who takes a look inside a few puddings to see how the supermarkets can compete with the likes of Fortnum and Mason. After watching, you might think twice about splashing out on the big brands this Christmas.
