Baby food that is surprisingly tasty

[Lycidas]

I find myself ‘stocking up’ on the below items for 10 month DD then proceeding to demolish them myself:

• Ella’s Kitchen Banana Brekkie pouches (so creamy and hands down better than the Aldi variants)
• Organix muesli with the raspberry/strawberry. Always make an extra large portion for baby...
• Those long baby ‘crisps’, sweet corn flavour

I realise I’m doing my wallet a disservice, but please share any more items that are worth sampling

The Annabel Karmel ready meals, especially the chicken and potato pie one!

Haven’t had baby food in the house for over 10 years so I don’t know what any of those things are but I always was partial to stewed apple and/or pear.

Cow and gate egg custard 6m+

Never had a baby so i don't know where i got to try it but buy it semi frequently

Farleys rusk used to always magically disappear in our house.

I never bought any jars or anything (yes look at me I’m so saintly ) but as a teen I worked in a chemist and always thought the spaghetti bolognese toddler meals looked nice.

Never wasted any of my £2.50 an hour salary on buying one though!

Ella's Kitchen Spaghetti Bolognese is amazing. I'm secretly always pleased when DD doesn't finish her tea so I get to eat it instead.

And rusks are nice with a bit of Nutella spread on them

Ellas kitchen the purple one.... 😁

I was very fond 21 years ago mind you of the odd Farleys rusk and tinned Heinz chocolate pudding .

I really liked a banana baby porridge I use to get for dd, think it was Heinz. Also still eat rusks now

Those sweetcorn ring crisp things are bloody good...but....

HEINZ APPLE BISCOTTI

OH MY FUCKING GOD. I have put away soooooo many packets of those 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Try The Good Stuff cook book by Lucinda Miller. It's fab cool book for children and families

The Heinz biscotti are food of the gods. Absolutely gorgeous.

I discovered tinned Heinz chocolate pudding baby food as a student, and that became my treat because it was about 30p and delicious. Haven't seen it for at least 9 years.

Those sweetcorn hoop crisps. I want to say they're Organix, but could be making that up.

Farley's rusks are an all-time classic. My mum is in her 60s and still eats them.

Try a broken rusk dipped in hot chocolate for a sort of malty snack.

Little Dish fish pie = amazing.

Have to admit I have never bought or tasted baby food. A weird idea. Surely food is food.

Can't remember who did them, but these little apple crisps that tasted exactly like Apple doughnuts and were so very crispy. DS got to try them once before I decided I wasn't going to waste them on him.

I once bought a jar of French baby food on a cross channel ferry, in the distant past. Delicious, because, as my DH pointed out, it had salt in it.

My DS didn't even like baby food when he was a baby, he was eating curry at 8 months. I think he got hooked on spices through the amniotic fluid! I can't imagine liking any baby food as an adult, it's much too bland.

Another vote for Ella’s Spag Bol - it’s amazing and I may base my next diet around it as it is low in calories too!

I also love rusks (full sugar ones) but not tried banana baby breakies even though we have lots int he house!).

I love the Heinz chocolate puddings in the glass jars.
The choc biscotti are nice too.

Rusk and a cup of tea is the business. Sweet corn rings.
Liga but I’m not sure If you get them in the uk.

There was a beef and sweet potato one when my nephew was a baby. I think cow & gate. I loved it! When my sister went shopping she got me a jar too 😂😂

I've never tried baby food but I'm so tempted now.....I remember when I was around 20 there was the baby food diet

In the odd 'desperate for a snack' moment I've been known to put away a pack of sweet corn or tomato baby puff crisps. Add salt, shake packet. Delicious.

Kiddilicious Apple and cinnamon crisps are lovely. DH likes the Heinz Biscotti and Sweetcorn hoops mentioned above, also the Kiddilicious cheese straws.

We don't buy baby meals as he just eats what we're having, so I haven't had a chance to try the "meal" delicacies.
