I haven’t got to Aldi yet? Are the catch phrases good?

The pizza bases are smaller than the other brands, but I found them v tasty! Still a lovely size.
I hope they are kept on as its one product I always have to get elsewhere.

Just finished mine with my Italian friend. Quite nice, definitely better than the square rolled ones they have on sale for long time.

Just ignore cooking time on the label. We precooked it a bit with just a bit of olive oil for crispiness Came out nice.

Are they pre rolled fresh pizza bases?

Nope, these are normal round bases.

Yes, they are about 3 or 4 audio lines each....they are the obvious ones you would expect from each character

Picked these up on Friday - were quite nice, soft and not sweet. Saw a half price packet of Lamb mince - so it was Lamb burgers with salad leaves and sweet potato fries for dinner - quick, easy and not full of additives/salt etc - kids were happy

Didn't know they did brioche buns outside the specially selected range.
I'll be looking for them so.

Bilash Mango Chutney - so tasty as a side portion with curry.

Has anyone seen these avocado pods yet? Especially in either Terenure or Sandyford?

Would be very useful, but only if they're decent quality obviously - don't want to be buying junk!

neither did I. THey had buns like those before but not brioche, think they called them gourmet buns.

Looks similar to the supermacs bun usually on the more expensive burgers



I have seen them called called a kaizer bun/rolls.

How would these be different from any other plastic food storage container?

I was in a hurry and these looked to be the only burger buns in stock - lucky me, these were the good (and rare) ones :-)

Gloomtastic!

You don't want a lot of air getting at the exposed flesh of the half avocado, you need something roughly the same size.

I place some cling film over the surface and put them in Tupperware, they stay ok for up to 2 days for me that way.

Going to Aldi tomorrow to have a bit of a wander around and see what they got. I'm sure I'll find something. 😀

Yeah, but I don’t want to be using clingfilm anymore for environmental reasons.

Rub a little lemon juice on the cut surface and place downwards on a plate.

Tried "red's Thai Red Curry Sauce" at the weekend. All natural ingredients and very spicy. Would recommend, although kids might find it a bit too hot.

Bit late to the party but I tried the Aldi Mediterranean style lamb sausages, and they were absolutely delicious. We had them with a Mediterranean lentil stew. Lovely meal, given the awful weather.

Debub

we got 2 packs each of Med and Meguez, both were good

Never heard of it or noticed it in the stores, is it a special or where will I find in the shop?

Fancy a good curry tomorrow.
