In the late 70s, I worked in a CoOp creamery in the middle of Wales. We made butter, cream, evaporated milk, powdered milk and rice pudding. We made rice pudding to about 6 or 7 different recipes for different retailers. The higher quality puddings with the premium label, such as Ambrosia, had more rice and less sugar. The lower quality had more sugar than rice. All made in the same factory. The marketing would have you believe that these things are made by the retailers, but it's not the case. The main difference is price!

I worked in a fruit and veg canning factory and we canned fruit and veg for a number of different retailers. If we ran out of peas for example for one retailer we would take the labels off another retailer and relabel the tins.

My mam used to insist on heating it up - but refused to buy more than one tin - realising that it was not enough, she would then, in a bid to make it go further, go to the sink and then proceed to douse it in copious quantities of Northumbria’s finest council pop! She did the same thing with other tinned “milk pudding” products - sago, semolina, tapioca, macaroni (yes, you used to get sweet macaroni before macaroni cheese was a thing) - only bought one tin of the product in question and added water to it, as “It makes it go further!”. Did the same thing with spaghetti-type products, ravioli and even beans in tins - and don’t get me started on her tinned soup! I like those things cold as well - tin to bowl to mouth! Best with jam in - wonder what it would be like with Nutella?

When they first came to the UK it was literally pile it high and keep it cheap as that is what the German stores are like. Germans don’t care what it looks like but Brits do. A lot of people will not go into a shop they don’t like the look of. Retailers say we are the Italians of North Europe. Aldi have done a brilliant job of adapting to British tastes and that is why the stores are now a lot more attractive.

Good review, rice pudding is the ultimate comfort food for me, if I ever compile a list of 'last meals', it would be in there somewhere. My mum used to do hers in a loaf tin in the oven and it spooned out very dry, almost like a cake, over which you poured milk and sprinkled sugar. The rice pudding in school was a different beast altogether, more like the tinned stuff, but lovely in its own way. It looks like there's very little compromise for the Aldi one here, for half the price.

Regarding Morrisons pricing, they are in big financial trouble, massively overleveraged on debt after the hedge fund bought them out. Weren't able to make thier interest payments on the debt last year so they are in the process of selling off all the petrol forecourts to try reduce the debts to manageable levels and fund price reductions so they can compete. At the moment they are only slightly less expensive than Waitrose.
