Has anyone tried the new Custard Cream spread from Tesco? It really does taste like custard cream biscuits but I did find the texture a bit too gloopy and runny for a spread.

There's also a Bourbon Biscuit Spread version available. I might give that one a try but I don't think it could beat Nutella

It's alright, more generic 'chocolate' flavour than specifically Bourbon but it does have a hint of the biscuit !
I'd like to try the Custard Cream one
(I've recently discovered Rice Cakes and I'm trying all the spreads on them)
A really good one is Lotus Biscoff Spread from Sainsburys........it's a 'Caramel Biscuit' spread
I thought that was a surprising result too. The survery is mentioned here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6966747.stm
I am surprised too that the custard cream was voted Britain's favourite biscuit, I know that it is obviously popular but I would have thought that Hob-Nobs or chocolate digestive would have won.
Has anyone ever tried the giant Custard Cream? I think they have them in Costa Coffee I've only had one once and it was very yummy a sort of cross between a biscuit and a cake (either that or the biscuit had gone soft!
Yes I've had one of those giant Custard Creams! They were very good, but then, I am one of those people that loves Custard Creams. They did giant Bourbon Biscuits too.
No, it's doesn't have nuts in it and there is no nutty flavour.. It just has a biscuity creamy flavour.
As far as I'm aware, it has hazelnuts listed in the ingredients.
Perhaps do a simple google search next time before you post a reply.
Apologies you're absolutely right, it does have hazelnuts listed in the ingredients. I should have said it doesn't have a nutty taste at all. Not to me anyway.
Was it this one? http://grocerygems.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/belgian-biscuit-butter.html
It's very similar to the Lotus spread as they're both made with speculoos biscuits. I agree it's delicious
That's good to know. I put it back on the shelf because I thought it might have a nutty taste. Most chocolate spreads these days have hazelnuts in
Yep, that's the very one - except I got the crunchy one. I've just been spooning it out the jar but I had some on a warm pancake today (and then mixed some into the pancake batter) and it was superb!
I think I should wait till I've finished at least 3 of them until I open any more......:o
By the way I popped into a Planet Earth Health Food Shop today to get Bran and had a look round.......there were lots of jars of all kinds of spread including a lot of Nut Butters like Almond Nut Butter which sounded delicious......
The nut butter market is growing exponentially!
I like that manners are being preached by someone swearing (twice) on a family forum.
Touche.
I like that someone equates bad manners with innocuous descriptive nouns over snarky and unprovoked attacks. And if you'll excuse me a little detective work, I also like that someone who felt inclined to chip in with a complaint about swearing described someone as a "tit" on here a few weeks ago. Think of the children!
