Aldi Christmas pudding and Morrisons Stilton beat luxury rivals to be named best festive eats this December Best turkey from Morrisons, and best mince pies are Heston's at Waitrose Good Housekeeping tests showed best brandy butter is from M&S author] Expert taste testers have ranked a supermarket Stilton ahead of its luxury brand competitors in the fight for a space on the Christmas dinner table. Consumer magazine Good Housekeeping sampled 165 festive foods in effort to draw up a league table of Christmas components, pitting rival supermarkets against up-market retailers across the country. In the battle of the savoury brands, Good Housekeeping's trials showed consumers should head to the supermarkets for the best after-Christmas dinner cheese - four of the five shortlisted were supermarket own brands. Christmas food: Buy your Stilton from Morrison's... and also your turkey They found the creamy strong-flavoured Morrisons Signature Stilton was the real bargain and overall winner in the cheese test, scoring well ahead of offerings from Harrods and Fortnum and Mason. But for Christmas puddings, Aldi is the king - managing to achieve winner and runner up by beating everyone from Heston's Hidden Chocolate pudding to Harrods and Fortnums again. It was Marks & Spencer festive food which swept the board, scoring eight top fives across the 13 categories. Good Housekeeping consumer director Caroline Bloor said: 'Shopping for Christmas dinner - one of the most eagerly anticipated meals of the year - can be very stressful. Deciding what to choose when faced with products you may only buy once a year can be hit and miss. 'That's why we've done all the hard work for you - and tracked down the best options across 13 categories. In most categories, the overall winner is from a high street supermarket. If you're going to splash out, save your money for the champagne and smoked salmon.'
