Discount store Lidl has done as well as posh nosh specialist Waitrose in a mass blind-tasting of indulgent Christmas foods.
BBC Good Food compared more than 240 festive treats from 11 supermarkets and both won three categories.
Fellow discounter Aldi won two of the 30 gongs on offer across six categories, the same as Tesco. Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's topped the list with four each.
Gillian Carter, editor of BBC Good Food, said: "In our 25th year this is the biggest blind taste test we've ever done, so our readers can feel confident that these products truly are best in class.
"It's fascinating to see such a spread of winners, and reveals the impact that the budget supermarkets are having on the bigger, more established names."
Judges were impressed by Lidl's £2.65 Best Smoked Salmon, the "stand-out favourite" £7.99 Christmas Pudding and its £3.99 Panettone which "tears apart beautifully".
Aldi was praised for its £7.99 Pheasant for two and the "sweet, fruity and moreish" £4.99 Fruity Stollen.
There were three wins each for Morrisons and the Co-op.
The blind-tasting was carried out for BBC Good Food's Christmas Edition, which is out today.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
