I tested 7 supermarket garlic baguettes to see if they're worth their crust

Score 3/5

Aldi Carlos Two Garlic Baguettes

338g, £1.59

This loaf is quite hard to break into two pieces, but a bit of robustness is never a bad thing.

Score 3/5

Co-op Garlic  Baguette

195g, £1

Flimsy, greasy and a nice brown shell – this is a humble      side. The garlic and parsley infused filling is pungent, but welcomed.

Score 2/5

Sainsbury’s Garlic  Baguette

195g, £1.10

Dry bread and a light concentration of butter spread – Sainsbury’s has cut too many corners. This won’t keep the vampires at bay.

Score 2/5

Tesco Garlic  Baguette

205g, £1.10

If you’re the unlucky person who has to gnaw the end piece, it is worth sitting out on this side dish.

Score 5/5

Waitrose Garlic  Baguette

210g, £1.19

Cooked for 12 minutes, as per the instructions, this baguette comes out just like an inviting picture on a bistro menu.

Score 3/5

Morrisons Garlic  Baguette

210g, £1.05

Nice bread with a textbook spread, this is clearly an all-rounder. The baguette is soft, crunchy and sharp-edged all at once.
