    Local Lidl hasnt had pretzels for a few weeks now and the price sign is gone from the display area also. Does anyone know if they've stopped selling them all over or just my local?

    They did seem to be selling well so dont know why they're gone

    Has anybody had any confirmation that the Pretzels are gone?

    Them and the pumpkin seed loaf / rolls were our favourite.

    Going in just for Pretzels always lead us to buy other items. One less reason for us to go elsewhere.

    C'mon Lidl, reverse your decision and bring back the Pretzels
    Pretzels are back!!

    In fairness, I had emailed Lidl and they replied back saying they passed on my comments.

    I am not for one minute saying that my email got them back. I am making the point that at least they replied which is good customer service.

    Pretzels last Wednesday, Friday and today. Delicious and great price.

    Thanks Lidl. +1 customer back.

    That sort of question is better suited to the Nutrition & Diet forum

    Yes folks, the pretzel is back.

    Will go back for more tomorrow.

    Current price is 49c for that lovely dough topped with a little rock salt. MMmmmmmmmmm

    I think the Lidl bakery is the best of a poor bunch.
    The Tuscany and pumpkin seed rolls are ok, the standard white roll is ok most days, some days its quite good. I thought they bake it straight from the manual and any idiot can do it? How come some days they are nice some days they are not?
    The rye bread is quite good but they only ever have it for a couple of weeks in my local Lidl, then its gone for months.
    If there is one thing I really miss from back home its good quality bread and the variety. White batch and crumbly soda just doesn't do it for me.

    On a wider scale its our own fault really. The supermarkets killed all the local bakers but we allowed them to. We trade convenience for quality all the time. There'll soon be no fish mongers left. Butchers might last a little longer.

    Quite a few I dare say.
    But deep fried they are not. Are any bakery products deep fried? I didn't think so.

    Deep frying is the usual way.

    The question about whether the apple turnover in Lidl being deep fried is a valid one, since a lot of people love the McDonalds one. The subject of fried dough products started me thinking, and it seems most countries have their own versions - either fried or deep fried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fried_dough_foods

    I haven't tried all of Lidl's baked goods but I love their low GI bread.

    Deep frying is the usual way.

    I think some places deep fry them (a little) and send them out, and then the bakery can bake them to finish them off and freshen them up, like par cooked bageuttes. Si people might have seen them coming out on trays from an overn.

    Lidl donuts are similar in style to dunkin dounts ones, they are more "bready" looking so some people think they are only baked.

    The tell tale sign of deep frying is the split line, where the donut has floated in oil and been turned over and there is a line which is whiter than the rest as it was not fully in the oil.
    all these have it

    What nicol said. Just never saw a deep fat fryer in lidl.
    But to tell you the truth I didn't actually think that's how they were made. :o
    Deep fried. That's disgusting.

    are they as useless as they were before they pulled them the last time?

    I think the problem is that they are par cooked rather than being cooked from raw/ frozen as they just dont have that crazy crispy outside and really soft inside.

    Most find them delicious! so are you never going to eat donuts anymore?

    You are not alone with this aversion though, I think people associate them only with meat or chippers and picture stuff cooked in fishy oil.

    Fritters are a popular dessert in Asian restaurants, deep fried pineapple rings in light batter with ice cream, lovely.

    have tried a number of bread products from Lidl/Aldi and they are mostly unedible.

    got a cob the other day and it was truly disgusting, mass produced frozen dough that smelt weird if it was toasted. The baguettes are probably worse than cuisine de france, so therefore inedible. Rolls ok, but barely.

    I live in D3 and am surrounded by places selling very high quality bread, so maybe its just me.

    If you go to ANY bakery or even small corner shop that gets daily deliveries, the bread will infinitely better. Supervalues with bakeries make utterly delicious proper bread every day and its not expensive.
