Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

[gentlegreen]

Steer well clear of Aldi's elderflower pressé.
Now I know that Stevia tastes almost as bad as other sweeteners.

I hate that I can strongly taste sweeteners. In some things (cola, mainly), I'm kind of used to it. And, for some surprising reason, Orange Fanta is okay. But everything else just tastes awful. The new Irn Bru is undrinkable, and I used to love the stuff. Added bonus for stevia and sucralose that they give me the shits.

Old Jamaica ginger beer seems to have gone the same way

 

[Chz]

I never even thought about that!! So moscow mules are ruined now? Especially since OJ was so sweet, it's going to be completely OTT on the sweeteners.

You're all going to have to start making your own sugary soft drinks. Could this mean a resurgence of the old SodaStream?

 

[Chz]

Hm, I do have one and I guess the sugar tax only applies to pre-mixed drinks... But I've always found it a chore to get the flavours I want in the UK (mainly ginger ale). Plus they need an Irn Bru.

 

[gentlegreen]

Do those things take nitrous cartridges ?

Mix this with cheap own-brand sparkling water, that's what I do: Ginger Cordial | Belvoir Fruit Farms

I think that would make a nice ginger beer (yay! I can have moscow mules again!), but it's not going to give that Canada Dry taste that I like so much. I've taken on my grandfather's habit of rye and ginger.

The elderflower carbonated water ain't bad though.

Anyone tried the holoumi fries yet? Always out when I visit, and limited to two boxes per customer. I need these in my life.

The Aldi frozen Tomato and Balsamic Risotto is very tasty. It has frozen balls of mozzarella which wait until right at the end of the cooking to melt.

Lidl bakery is doing Portuguese custard tarts

Have aldi stopped doing carrot fries already? There’s were much more crunchy and thin unlike tesco’s.

I bought a bag of frozen sprats (brisling) in Lidl. I was inordinately chuffed that their Latin name is Sprattus Sprattus.

That actually made me chuckle!

I didn't know they did these. I tried them for the first time at a market stand recently and they were amazing, will certainly look out for them!

 

[chandlerp]

I recently bought a rotisserie that comes with a basket for making fries and have been making halloumi fries in it with lots of different seasonings. lovely stuff

 

[cybershot]

The place for them in my Aldi is always empty, it's always a very small slot too. More annoyed that there's no carrot fries anymore, not even a label to suggest they were somewhere and not there now. Totally vanished!

I got some at a Cypriot restaurant recently. Properly decent, although they weren't some twisted amalgamation of holoumi and potato, as id imagined, but just holoumi. But there are much worse things that a thing can "just be"...
