    Italian week has arrived (again!)

    There used to be a range of Italiamo pasta sauces that were the bees-knees

    We bought loads of the two flavours on the left.... they were (imo) the best sauces from any store

    553353_ITALIAMO-Italienische-Tomatensauce_xxl.jpg

    Alas they have not been available for nearly a year now.... very sad. :(

    The Itlaiamo frozen cheese pizza is probably the best frozen cheese pizza in the world!

    Lidls Deluxe Deli Style coleslaw for 99c is perfection, never buying anywhere else again. I love coleslaw and was finding it starting to taste a bit weird from a lot of places especially Aldi in recent times but this stuff is really excellent, like the deli kind you used to get years ago.

    Isn't it rather bitter tasting?
    Vinegary?

    I bought the Italian pasta pot and it's great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭Reputable Rog


    Garlic and Rosemary loaf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭deadanonymau5


    Their chilli tortillas, much nicer than Aldis version and even Doritos imo

    Hmmm I like Aldis tortilla chips. Must try those too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭Reputable Rog


    Belgian (Bocq) beers down to €6.49.

    Old news but during their USA week I bought the pulled pork for 2.99 or 3.99 (I forget!), the first time I had had this and it was great. Pity is so many of these "occasionals" are just that.

    I bought the Gnochi bake yesterday, anyone else had that yet?

    Spotted their own brand (Irish made) hot sauce and picked up a bottle. Haven't opened it until I use up what I have open. Anyone tried it?

    To answer my own question: pretty good imho. The sweet slightly smoky spiciness of the cayenne comes through and there is a good vinegary kick to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭Reputable Rog


    I'm really getting pissed off with my local Lidl, badly stocked all of the time, massive queues and quite dirty.

    3.99. That kind of pulled pork is available in Aldi all the time I believe (havent been there myself in a while)

    Their expanded Deluxe range has appeared in store for the run up to Christmas. Not up on their website yet, but some pretty nice looking foods!

    Their Stollen was very nice lasy year.

    The mini chocolate panettone's are very tasty.....................had to buy one so early this year because I always leave to the last minute and they run out! will be stocking up on them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,622 ✭✭✭lassykk


    The Salmon and Asparagus quiche is amazing. Was waiting all year for it to come back in

    Had the seafood chowder too which was nice but I've nothing to compare it to as never had one before!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭deadanonymau5


    Great weather to get some soup and partly baked rolls. The soup is pretty much the same as Cully&Sully, but cheaper!

    The salmon and asparagus pizza is really nice also.

    Not a food item but tried the lidl mascara for 3.00 and it was brilliant.
    Takes two applications.

    I've spent over 40.00 - 60.00 on branded mascara and ended up giving them away, they were awful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,122 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    The chocolate coconut rings are absolutely delicious, my new favourite cake/biscuit thing for teabreaks.

    Got the black olive tapenade from their Deluxe range today. Tasty enough on some hot toasted baguette :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Vel


    Loving their pack of 12 luxury mini mince pies. I may have polished off an entire pack last night with a cuppa!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 mia_clim


    @Vel I also love it :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭Reputable Rog


    Had the inferno pizza last night, challenging but got through it. Felt it was a bit bland and the spices overwhelmed it. Needs a bit more balance, but all in all grand for the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭deadanonymau5


    Anyone recommend the nespresso type capsules?

    Im thinking of getting the "TEXET® 1400W Capsule Coffee Maker" on Monday

    This is not so much a recommendation as a warning - Alfredo Inferno pizza is amazingly hot, I mean unpleasantly so unless you have a palate forged in Mexico. Took about 20 mins before I could feel my tongue.

    I still have half of mine in the freezer, anyone want it? :D

    I'm not a fan of their Nespresso style capsules - I found the flavour very dull.
    Tried two of their Christmas marzipan things this week and they're gorgeous, the dark choc covered plain marzipan and particularly the marzipan log with nougat which is truffley, indulgent goodness - I won't be allowing myself to buy them again until well into December, they could easily become a habit!

    I use them. Happy out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭deadanonymau5


    I'd recommend you to get these while they're available. Sweet chili are delicious. I believe they're kettle cooked as it says that on the receipt. They're extra crunchy as it says on the packaging.

    €1.49 for 150g bag

    Loads of car stuff this week, booster seats, tin foil sheet for window, sheet to keep boot clean, seat covers that will hopefully minimize the dirt my children leave on the back seat.
    Loads of Christmas stuff there too. Thought some looked really well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    I recommend the blended cheeses in their "posh" range, very nice.

    Tried their Kania mayonnaise (following on from a jar of Heinz "Seriously Good" mayo - n.b. it isn't!) and it's pretty damned good for the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72,444 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Some decent looking at least aluminium cookware this week - got the 28cm pot to replace one where the rubberised handles are going disgusting. Claims to be able to take lower heat oven temperatures which I've always had to use my few all-steel ones for before.

    It's my fave. I really love it. Definitely different to heinz but I think in a good way. Plus the jars are lovely, I keep them for nuts, seeds etc. Must try the kania mayo now that Heinz is back to full price.

    OT, but I found the Heinz awful. Way too sweet! I only bought it because it was half price in Tesco..on the clearance shelf. There may be a reason for this.. :P

    Some nice looking pork bellies in Lidl at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Saw those today, pondering a piece for Sunday lunch :D


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,778 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    The lobster's back!

    I've been waiting for these as I'm doing lunch for about 14 on christmas.

    They've gone up to 6.99 though (from a fiver 2 year ago).

    They're also selling a new range of lobster too. Canadian Tales- 2 tales for 12quid.I'll get them next week.


    While there I picked up a Deluxe range gruyere cheese and bacon quiche for my tea and it's surprisingly good.

    I think the lobster for a fiver was a special \ post christmas sale price... I remember getting one for 6.99 and one for 5 later.
    If LIDL run out, Iceland I think sometimes stock a similar one.

    The lobster tails are lovely, but not a huge amount on them, you might need to get some prawns or maybe hot smoked salmon to pair with them if intended as a main course.

    Their 25cm non-stick frying pans are pretty good.

    Bought two a while back - so obviously not that expensive.

    Just thrown the worn one out and started on the new. It made a lovely job of 6 Mackeral fillets.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Picked up some of Maribel marmalade for while shopping for the ParentalUnitBot, who likes some on her toast in the mornings. Apparently it was pretty nice, with a fair amount of orange and a nice sweet/tarty balance. Not bad for 50 odd cent.

    Goose fat 1.99 and I'm doing roasties tomorrow baby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Tried the deluxe coleslaw that has been mentioned on this thread this evening, and thought it was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of commercial coleslaw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,199 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    My local store hasn't had stock of the marzipan logs the last couple of times I've been in - has anyone seen them lately?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,673 ✭✭✭juke


    Sadly, the one on Grange Road, Rathfarnham has the nougat ones - I'm addicted :o

    The nougat one is particularly addictive alright! I'm actually trying to lose weight but was anxious to nail down a little supply for a treat once I get down a few pounds :D
    So there's still hope, cheers!

    Yeah I've met me, so my plan is to buy some and then ask someone to hide them from me until I've lost x amount of weight :D:D
    Good luck with it and thanks again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    The three nearest me have them :P

    I may have stockpiled some rum and raisin ones..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    See the pre-Christmas Deluxe range has grown again, with more products added with more cheeses, pastas, frozen deserts among others. Picked up some prawn and langoustine filled fresh pasta which wasnt too shabby! Got some oak smoked Irish brie I'm looking forward to tucking into!
