FLAVOUR SAVER

Christmas doesn’t have to be a squeeze this year – a blind taste test has ranked the £3.89 Aldi Christmas Pudding above the £40 cake from luxury food store Fortnum & Mason and the £20 gourmet pud from Harrods. So scurry down to those budget supermarkets. The Queen may well be doing the same thing.
