The budget supermarket ranked second with its Specially Selected Aberdeen Angus Beef Quarters Pounders that cost £2.49 for a pack of four
BURGERS from Aldi have trounced those from more expensive rivals including Waitrose in a blind taste test.
The supermarket ranked second with its Specially Selected Aberdeen Angus Beef Quarters Pounders that cost £2.49 for a pack of four.
Consumer group Which? asked four experts - three butchers and one chef - to taste ten premium chilled beef burgers.
Burgers were assessed raw, and then fried by a chef, before being tasted blind in a varied order.
Co-op’s Irresistible Hereford Beef Burger were crowned the winner, scoring an impressive 82 per cent.
They were praised for their juiciness, appearance and great beefy taste - but at £3.19 for a pack of two they are also among the most expensive.
Waitrose was the second lowest scoring brand with its Waitrose Hand-Pressed Beef Burgers costing £3.74 for a pack of two.
At the bottom of the table were Gourmet Burger Kitchen’s Gourmet Beef Burgers, with a score of 56 per cent.
