This product is like eating cardboard chipping, no flavour and leaves a nasty residue in your mouth. I wasted money buying a few packets as I was on a soft diet post ok. Lidl sorry you failed on this one.

My husband will only eat ambrosia creamed rice pudding and dislikes all supermarket brands. However, Lidle's own make is on par, it does not taste too sweet and artifical ( sometimes the low fat can be supplemented with artificial sweetners and taste synthetic!

It claims on the tin to be 'Delicious Hot Or Cold', and it is. The low fat rice pudding from Lidl is quite the tastiest rice pudding I've eaten out of a tin, and it has the advantage of being relatively low in calories at 83 per 100g. That's on a par with ordinary baked beans. Normally, in products like this, low calories can equal low taste, but not in this case.

I'm unsure of the manufacturer; the only name I can see is 'Biffinet' and that is in 3/16" high letters at the bottom right-hand corner of the name panel. I Googled the name and the only reference I could find was to 'blenders'. Who cares anyway - Lidl doesn't sell anything that's not out of the top drawer.

At 19p a tin, this healthy treat must be one of life's bargains, and as a double bonus for me, it goes really well with Jordans Natural Wheat Bran.
