    Anyone try the gyozas?

    I missed them, and I think they're gone now :(:mad:

    I saw them in the Lidl UK Christmas TV advert, I think they're from the frozen party food range. I'm going to have a look for them myself, as I hadn't (to my memory) seen them in my local branches

    The deluxe potato gratin with emmental were nice, bit pricey at 4 for I think €2.49

    Pretty tasty (the chicken ones). Will buy a pack or two and stick them in the freezer for Christmas :D

    Very back of the store, in the wall mounted freezer cabinets alongside their mini pizza and mini spring roll party food counterparts, with some kangaroo and ostrich steaks which have pretty much been there for last year.

    Your store layout may vary ;)

    Most store layouts are the same. I dont think mine had them, I had a look in those.

    pretty sure I saw them in the same place in mine, all the weekly special/limited stuff tends to be in the same fridges.

    Never heard the name before, I thought it said gyros

    has any one bought the Sous Vide machines. they are on offer at moment fo 69.99

    I've seen the red party food range in the floor level, top opening freezers in another nearby branch so worth scouting the entire frozen section is you're committed to finding them :P

    My OH did - tested it on the pork shoulder I had bought. I know nothing about Sous Vide's, but the pork is tender, moist and tasty. Took way longer than a slow cooker - but maybe that's the point :confused:

    The cold and fog this evening kept me away but Ill be in there tomorrow come rain or shine. I do love some gyozas!:D

    The smoked brie went down nicely!


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


    Beef carpaccio a bit salty but nice.


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

    Agreed. A spritz of lemon juice alongside the serving suggestion did help cut though that (IMHO)

    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 are half price this week, but selling fast...

    In the deluxe range they have lemon shortcake biscuits. Little star shaped ones. Really really nice.

    Aldi have these on regular basis not star shaped. Scottish ones I think 1.29 for about 10 in the box. They are great

    Great. Aldi is my regular shop but I was thinking of going to lidl to pick them up. Glad I won't have to now.

    Oh my, the brisket pie is unreal. It's head and shoulders over the rest of their produce. It's the winner of the Taste of Success 2016. If you don't like stout though, you might not like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,425 ✭✭✭✭leahyl


    Opened the bag of deluxe gammon and mustard crisps last night....mmmmm....sooooo very good :D

    The pig in a blanket ones are lovely aswell, nice smokey bacon taste, huge bag for 79 cent. The goats cheese and apple chutney ones from the same range are the most disgusting crisps Ive ever eaten :D

    Very nice pie alright, serious whiff of stout off it as you said.

    Is this a frozen or fresh pie?

    And what's the ratio of pastry to filling? I've had to give up on most of Lidl's pies - as much as I love pastry (and I really, really do) they're too much even for me!


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


    Fresh macarons are lovely, bar the coffee one...

    It's topped with cheddar potato and it's jam packed with beef. It's also fresh.

    Aha - so not a pastry pie at all - excellent!

    Frozen or fresh?

    Thanks!

    The pie is nice. It isn't frozen nor can it be frozen according to the storage instructions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Where are these pies stored in Lidl? along by the....?

    Along by the other pies :D

    But seriously, they are in the fridge with the fresh soups/salads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    I can see the sales of this pie sky rocketing. I had it for dinner again tonight, the only thing is it has carrots in it in the picture but alas no carrots in the real thing.

    Does it have the look of a Christmas special about it, or something that might be stocked longer-term?

    Never got near a Lidl today unfortunately (probably no bad thing, I'll hardly starve in the next few days, and if it can't be frozen.....)

    It's the Taste of Success winner so the aim is to have it on the shelves all year round. It's not festive but more Wintery goodness :o

    Has anyone tried the Belgium Chocolate Pudding with the clementine sauce in the middle? Seriously delicious, especially with some whipped cream on top !
    Little sachet of gold dust as well, to the delight of the kids. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,094 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I randomly picked up a box of Favorina spiced biscuits with almonds, just because they sounded a bit seasonal and I love almonds.

    Well, they're gorgeous.

    I'll be stocking up on more of them if I can find them in the next few days!

    Further to this, not only did I get a couple more packs, but at a 50% discount :) Plus some yummy looking dark choc butter biscuits also at 50% off.

    AND a brisket pie to boot.

    Happy camper here!!! :D

    Picked up the Brisket pie last night and it's lovely. Loved the stout flavour in the sauce, it's different. The meat was good as well.

    The Gyozas are back!

    They're lovely dipped in a little bit of light soya sauce

    Had in hand today and then spotted the mash is "mustard" mash, that was a deal breaker for me, wish they would just do a "normal" mash topping

    I haven't got around to eating mine yet, but when buying it I noticed that it said on one bit of the packaging that it was mustard mash, but in another place it said cheese mash, and I'm sure whoever first recommended them here said cheese mash as well.

    I'll give it the taste test before writing it off!

    Maybe there's a cheese mash one too then?

    No, it was the same one I was looking at!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,298 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    Had one today, no sign of mustard in the mash at all. Unless different stores get different types supplied.
