You're only fooling yourself if you think that this meat is anything other than hooves and connective tissue.

im very fussy about sausages so wouldnt eat these ones although i'd say the rashers and eggs would be grand. my favorite sausages at present are the tesco finest irish ones.

OldVickers

I had them for breakfast this morning and yesterday morning. They are good (but a lot of cereal in the black pudding) and Irish.

Thanks for sharing. Luckily I'm finished my lunch :cool:
Aren't all sausages made of pretty much the same unmentionable stuff?

No! :rolleyes:

These sausages will be mostly bread, water, fat and connective tissue. Decent sausages have a high content of actual meat, and far less filler.

Are the eggs free range? Come on! Think of the chickens

Tesco Finest Cumberland sausages are even better (but more expensive) than the Tesco Finest Irish pork sausages - Cumberland variety had a higher meat content the last time I compared them.

You ought to do a little research re the sausages at least - they're actually 86% meat

Again, the "meat" content is mostly fat and connective tissue. I don't know the official figures for Ireland, but in the UK, 'meat' can comprise up to 30% fat and 25% connective tissue. Enjoy your 45% of 86% meat

Though I'm not a big fan of Lidl's meat this is a great offer.

I see the lockdown hasn't slowed down the food nazis. :rolleyes:

Next time, try to actually check up on what you're talking about before you go on an 'informed' rant on it.

I wouldn't assume meat in one of these stores is crap just because it is a discount store.

I mean aren't lidls and aldis like the Dunnes Stores/Tescos of Germany?

foodaholic

its not that its a discount store its the fact that u get rashers, sausages, pudding and eggs for 4 euro !!!!

Economies of scale.

Its not a consistent offer either.

Tucker.Tim

It's no less a discount store than Tesco, PC World and Amazon are. There is a big difference between stores with large buying power and cheaper prices and an actual discount store, so please get your terms correct.

The "will be" sounds like you are just guessing here. How do you know these are not similar to whatever ones you would call "decent", is it simply the price? you realise many shops like these will sell at below cost to get punters in? Maybe you are the type of punter that falls for the reasoning "if it costs a lot it must be good" and vice versa -marketers love the gullible.

They could well have more of what YOU consider "meat" in them that the ones you call decent. Dunno why people always bang on trying to disgust people with talk of connective tissue etc, to me eating any part of an animal is pretty much as potentially disgusting as another.

I don't think there is anything extremely in correct by calling them discount stores.

Lidl, Aldi, Dunnes Stores Sausages are all made by the same Dublin company.
Uk sausage meat content is a million miles away from Irish Sausage meat content. You my friend are talking about something you know nothing about. Trust me!!

Nope. Came to Ireland with cheaper prices than their competitors.

Sorry you need to be incredibly rude on an internet forum by the way, but hey tomorrow might be a better day for you!

So did Tesco. A 'discount' store is used to describe stores that buy low-end or end-of-life stock, and who don't have their own prescibed manufacturing /white-labeling outlets. Lidl are a supermarket with boxes instead of selves - they cut costs on the fornt end, but the business operates in exactly the same way as any other 'normal' chain.

Show the definition. It seems to be your take on it.

There is nothing wrong with posters in this forum referring to either German store as a discount store.

You simply seem annoyed it doesn't go with your own interpretation.



Eg: If a poster here referred to their local Supervalu as a 'shop' rather than a supermarket then who would you be to tell them that is wholly inaccurate?

EDIT: Rollie-eyes? Diseased mind and all that.

Dave!

E1 chicken kievs look good too

Its not a discount store, as well, what's it a discount on? You can't get the same products elsewhere. It's just a store.

I am totally guessing, and yes, I am judging the quality of the meat based on price. In Ireland, with all the costs involved in getting these products from the farm to the shelf, it can't be possible to get all those items for €4.

Cheap sausages are cheap sausages. I never said that any other brand of economy sausages are better, they're all muck! I've seen the process of making economy sausages and it'd turn your stomach.

This discussion really isn't going anywhere. I'm saying it's cheap, nasty meat because it's simply not possible to get proper meat at these prices in Ireland. A few of you are saying I'm wrong, but by all means, prove me wrong. Otherwise it's just your word against mine :pac:

Re: #30, Noodler.

c montgomery

Lidl rashers are savage and cheap out. By no means are they of a lower quality than tescos or dunnes.

Eggs are eggs.

Sasauges? Dont really eat em as they are pretty fatty.

Black pudd: Dont eat it since i found out how they made it years ago.

Except you're the one going on no factual basis at all, indeed your argument still relies fully on asumption of what these sausage are.

Re: #30, Noodler.

A person who requires meat, veg and other groceries can get them there for cheaper regardless of brand.

Also testicle (great name by the way) isn't it a long time since Lidl/Aldi didn't have name-brand goods? They now stock plenty of brands you find in another supermarket.

Indeed. I'm sure that I'm not the only one for whom this offer was a good one and the quality of the food on offer was quite acceptable. Each to their own though...

foggy_lad

the sausages are very nice, not the cheaprer ones available, these usually retail for €1.99/8 large sausages and the eggs are large irish class 1 from caged hens normal cost €1.11, comparable eggs in tesco cost at least €1.85. rashers were very nice although a bit salty but much thicker than the tesco equivelant and the black/white pudding normal price 99cent is lovely and much cheaper than the tescl equivelant.

great deal for lidl but not so good for a dwindling tesco!

Err, just because some of there prices are lower than other stores doesn't make them a discount store. Tesco have many prices cheapers than either 'German' store, so the point is rendered meaningless.

You can circle around as many tiems as you like, but the fact is you've presented nothing beyond 'cheaper prices' to classify Lidl as a discount store. I through trying to argue with a wall, though. If you're too prideful to even consider that you are wrong, fine.

You are just using your own definition of a discount store.

Simple as.
