Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

Will be investigating this tomorrow. Pikelette time mmm.

Are you from the Midlands? Not everyone knows what a pikelette is

 

[Skinny Ethel]

No from Teesside and have always called them pikelettes. Not the other name.

I'm a Brummie, we do the same!

“savon liquide, inspiration artisinale”, mais oui

Art Is Anal.

The extra i and e is obviously the French effect.

Pikelettes are thin crumpets made without a ring, and not the same as scotch pancakes.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Pikelettes are what i say they are. I am not eating a carry on film word.

 

[Elpenor]

Don’t tell him Pikelettes

I've switched to a (microwaved) potato-based diet ...
Today I grabbed a bag of wonky potatoes in Aldi - variety "Bonnata" ... I googled them on my phone in the shop but found no info ...
I assumed they were cheap because they were a bit scabby, but they are a bit disappointing - more waxy than fluffy - skins fine - I'm not freaked out by plant-eating fungi ...
Once they're slathered in hummus they're OK but I won't buy them again...

I just googled to see if that was a signature dish and found this

Parmo, or Teesside Parmesan, is a dish originating in Middlesbrough, England, and a popular item of take-away food in the Teesside area. It consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

The parmesan was first mentioned in biblical books koran bible and that one the salvation army force you to buy on a friday.

Found out today that there's a new Aldi at Beckton Triangle - still a bit of a trek but a bit better than the Charlton one (2 buses compared to bus/ferry/bus or bus/tube/bus).
I don't go over there that often, but as it's the location of our nearest Pets@Home I find myself over that way occasionally.
There's also a Lidl and a B&M there.

Google aldi yorkshire sliders. Despicable.

Sandals made out of Yorkshire puddings? It would get messy poolside

Do you have to pop into a Lidli regularly to get the bargains?
There’s one near me but I rarely go in it cos it’s not that inviting a place - hard to navigate and look around and mostly filled with revolting looking processed food that you can get even cheaper at a Herons or a Home Bargains.
And you have to remember to bring bags. The till experience is also nerve-wracking - makes me very self-conscious, as if I’m being timed and judged on my bag packing.

Go to self-checkout and take all the time you like.

didn’t spot those on my last visit. Twas all old-fashioned converoy belt tills

 

[Mattym]

Some Lidls don't have self checkout.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

My local one. Whenever I go in I regret it because of the awful queues. At least Aldi open more checkouts (and now have self service)

Tesco use to sell pikelettes but they were what we use to call drop scones as you cooked them on a griddle on the hob.... hence the 'drop' bit.

The yorkshire slider is made with a yorkie pudding containing a sausage wrapped in bacon bit of stuffing with a yorkshire pudding on top. Am sure its against the law.

Sounds quite nice

If you've got a Halifax account there is a 10% cashback thing at Lidl until early January.

 

[Elpenor]

A lot of Aldi wine is at 25% off (England only I suppose) seems to be a mix of their strands including regular bottles and the more temporary strands

Sasaferrato may want to look at his charabanc idea again

 

[gentlegreen]

That may explain why the French reds were cleared-out yesterday.
If some Fitou ever shows up I'll have to make a special trip...

Cheap veg stampede tomorrow. Not keen on turnip but getting 5 or 6 for bastardness.
