This year, budget food products dominated the list of UK’s best of Christmas from the Good Housekeeping blind taste tests. But luxury food brands are not to be outdone. Harrods, Heston and Louis Roeder still have top ranking products in 3 different categories.

According to www.dailymail.co.uk:

Experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute carried out blind taste tests on 165 festive foods across 13 categories, including turkey and all the trimmings to mince pies and mulled wine.
