Christmas pudding - Aldi or Lidl?

I can't remember for the life of me which of those two was the one that came out best in a taste test last year.
Has anyone seen any similar taste tests done for this year?
I used to make my own puds but they cost more than the end product in Aldi or Lidl where they are less than £4 for a big one.
Thanks.

Our local paper did a test on Christmas puds and the Lidl version came out above Marks & Spencers. Asda's Extra Special Christmas Pudding won with 5/5
Here's their verdict:
ROWAN HILL BAKERY MATURED CHRISTMAS PUDDING (From Lidl)
Made with almonds, pecans and cherries, laced with brandy, sherry, cognac and rum. £2.99 for 454g.
We tested the larger version of this pudding as an individual one wasn't available. It was a lovely round shape which would look very good garnished with a sprig of holly. The texture was cakey and quite dry with a lot of nuts. Interestingly, the mixed spice contained no less than 8 ingredients, including mustard, feenel and coriander. Good value for money. 4/5
I will buy one on my next visit to Lidl.0 -
Thanks rose. I looked at these in Lidl yesterday and very nearly bought one. I think they were on special offer too.0

I love these boards!
Last year we bought a Duchy Original Christmas cake for DH's mum. It wasn't that great - and of course very expensive. What are the cakes like in Lidl?;)0 -
I love Aldi and Lidl products and use these in a hamper for my mum at Christmas along with lots of other goodies. Yum I'm hungry.0

It was the Aldi one that won last year - and not even their nice one it was the cheaper of the two they sell.
