Aspect du packaging : we cannot say that the different brands have gone out of their way for this product. It was very simple, too simple in fact. Only Aldi and Carrefour have made a small effort. For the big brand, we opted – like last year – for Brugse Pannenkoeken, which also presented something decent.
Product appearance: at Lidl, we liked the smell of the pancakes, very natural. On the other hand, they were a little dry. At Carrefour, Intermarché, Aldi and Delhaize, it simply had no smell, even if the visual was correct. The big brand, like last year, is a cut above the others, with an artisanal promise kept. For the Colruyt product, it was okay and the smell was appealing.
Nutritional value: Nutri-Score C for everyone.
The big brand test: we tested the Dolce Gusto capsules and their copies, here is our verdict (COMPARATIVE)
Label readability: for Lidl, it was written a little too small and there was too much text. The same goes for Delhaize and Intermarché. The same goes for Aldi and Carrefour, but it was made up for a bit by the presence of a table. For the big brand it was below everything. On the other hand, it was much better at Colruyt.
-Taste : we start with Intermarché. It lacked taste, but above all it was much too sweet, which quickly made the whole thing sickening. For Lidl, the pancakes were good, and not too sweet. On the other hand, we regretted the somewhat dry and/or rubbery side of the texture. On the other hand, we were pleasantly surprised by the crepes from Colruyt. They were less original than the big brand, but for a basic product, it was successful. At Carrefour, it wasn’t far off in terms of taste, but the pancakes were a little dry. On the Aldi side, although we were seduced by the texture of the pancakes, the taste was too light. However, it was very disappointing at Delhaize, with a real lack of taste. It was really tasteless. Finally, the big brand holds up perfectly, with a slight vinegary side which makes the taste unique and close to a homemade recipe.
The big test of brands: some surprising surprises for the tartiflette, but one product spoils the party (COMPARATIVE)
Value for money: here are the prices in order for a package containing ten pancakes: Brugse Pannenkoeken (€3.99), Intermarché (€2.99), Aldi (€2.49), Colruyt (€2.45), Lidl ( €2.03), Carrefour (€1.99), and Delhaize (€1.85).
