FOR years, the humble burger bun has gone through a makeover and has become fluffier, sweeter and more golden. In the 1970s, you'd stick your patty in what could only be described as a dull, squidgy bap. But now, the supermarket bakery aisle is lined with glossy brioche buns.
They have a longer shelf life, too, which means you can store them at home for when the sun comes out and the taste can really make a break or your barbecue dinner. So which is best? Lynsey Hope tried out a selection and here, she reveals her verdict. Aldi's buns had a lovely sheen.
They didn't look as fluffy as others and were perfectly neat and handily pre cut - and the taste was spot on. They were soft and buttery with a delicate sweetness and are incredible value for money at just 26p per bun. They had a pretty good shelf life too.
These were my winner and I'd definitely go back for more. Taste: 10/10 Value: 10/10 Overall score: 10/10 These seeded buns were a lovely option and went down a treat. They are enriched with eggs and butter to make them extra soft and they had a light, airy feel to them.
The added sesame seeds made them a cut above most of the others and the brioche flavour was sweet without being too sugary, which can sometimes be weird with a burger. A real hit. Taste: 10/10 Value: 9/10 Overall score: 9/10 I loved the buttery flavour of Asda's buns, which were extra soft and fluffy, with a light airy texture and just the right level of sweetness.
They weren't too calorific, either, with j.
