I get anchovies in Aldi in the UK, so I'd imagine they have them in Ireland...

If Lidl don't sell it I convince myself it means I don't need it

I can buy icing sugar in Aldi here too!

There's very little that I can't get, apart from branded goods obviously. It's odd that they'd stock different products between the two countries when they're so similar.

I have looked for anchovies at least three times in my local Aldi which is quite a large Aldi and they never have them. Maybe some stores stock them.

You can use them in the base of a creamy chicken sauce or in the sauce part of a chicken pie, they add a lovely dimension to the flavour.

The magic ingredient in an Arrabbiata sauce. Add a filet with the garlic and it dissolves into the sauce. Mind your salting after, though. Can be used in any sauce really to give a big dose of umami.

Lack of puff pastry was another annoyance at Lidl but lo and behold I spotted it today in the fresh dairy section by the milk/cream. Happy. (now go out and buy it so they keep it in stock!)

pasta a la puttanesca......or whores pasta....

black olives, capers and anchovies with some passata. just fry two or three of those beauties in oil and they will disintegrate into the oil and give real depth to a dish....throw in some garlic and maybe even a bit of chilli....followed by olives and capers.

I could hook this dish up in the time it takes to cook the pasta....

hungry now....
