Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

[gentlegreen]

I like the Carcassonne at the moment

Thought the pizza in Aldi was decent. Not as impressed with the bottle of red I got.

Which pizza? Not a fan of the posh fresh ones but think the frozen Carlos sourdough basil and mozzarella ones are very good for the money.

Was a posh fresh one. Ham, mascarpone and mushroom.

The bases of the posh fresh ones are better (less doughy) if you cook them in a hotter oven than whatever it says on the box, ime.

Toppings on that ham, mushroom & mascarpone one are still shit compared to the Co-op version mind. The char siu pork ones in Aldi atm are good.

That enormous link can be condensed to this, by the way. Everything else is tracking guff.

Aldi is selling green and alcohol-infused cheeses for St. Patrick's Day

 

[Part 2]

Things to watch out for! The price of Choceur fruit and nut chocolate...up from 99p to £1.49!

When in doubt, buy Toro Loco. Cheap quality red.

 

[WWWeed]

Might have to give the ham, mushroom, mascarpone pizza ago.

I think Aldi's maple syrup is very good however the cap can get stuck after opening and be next to impossible to remove without hot water being applied to the cap. I must have scraped most of my finger/handprint off before admitting defeat

This is really boring but I stopped buying avocados because they're usually shit but I bought some in lidl yesterday and they're not

I am not a huge fan of avocados but the ones I got in Lidl the other day were great and I may be a convert.

With cold roast chicken on rye bread, they are lush

I bought the £40 walk-in greenhouse that's on in Lidl this week and put it up myself yesterday. It's pretty good! Plenty of space and pretty sturdy. I don't expect it to last more than couple of years but for the price it's good.

 

[mrsfran]

I get frozen avocado halves in Iceland, they're good and defrost quickly.

I forgot they were coming in! How sturdy? Where I live is very windy on a hill, would it stand up to that?

 

[Calamity1971]

Oops, stand down mrsfran. I was thinking about the tall cold frames, not greenhouse.

They've got cold frames too.

 

[Calamity1971]

They've got cold frames too.

I went down earlier. They're not very tall. It must have been Aldi that's getting them. Timber frame ones, but nearly double the price. Cheers anyway.

 

[Dovydaitis]

Also have wooden cold frames. Will be getting one

Frozen avocados?? Jesus is that really a thing? Are they actually pleasant?

Anyone had the saurkraut from either place btw? I need to stock up.

ALDi: sausages with Carolina Reaper peppers in.
I hear they are feisty.

They were last in at Halloween. I think I only managed one before having to give up, felt guilty for wasting food.

Could have made a casserole or gumbo to pad it out a bit...

They were in a casserole! Good luck

Yeah, frozen avocados are good! And no problems re ripeness.

For what? Ammunition?

Do they defrost well? Or does the texture change?

Saurkraut from Lidl is great, and a good price.

Single egg frying pan £2.49. Should keep the egg in a round shape as the egg snot can't ooze further than the edge of the pan.

Word of warning....I have one and like it for the reason you mentioned, but the hot oil all gets trapped under the egg too , so when you shift the egg around a bit , the oil has a tendency to erupt at any opportune moment and with eye blinding velocity.
