Aldi... what do you recommend?

Great news, Aldi Brioche Burger Buns now come in a sesame seed variety and they are spectacular, the specially selected ones in the black bag, the original unseeded ones were nice but very egg-y and I always feel a burger is missing something without sesame seeds, these are absolute perfection and let you make absolutely perfect burgers...

Saw them last week but had enough of the basic. Was going to get some today but there wasn't any. I noticed they are 10c cheaper..unusual! Look forward to tasting them..Like a sesame bun meself!

Do these freeze ok? Sounds like something I'd like to have stashed away....

They freeze fine.

I actually don't like sweet burger buns so those brioche buns do nothing for me.

Anyway I got very cute piggy measuring cups a spoons today because mine are on their last legs. They were confiscated by kids so I probably just wasted 10 euros. Anyway I like to buy their light mozzarella balls. They are less watery and great for domestic oven pizzas. I can't stand the pregrated stuff.

Same here, but funnily enough I really like the Hotdog Brioche Rolls. I normally put two frankfurters in a hotdog roll but find one is plenty in the brioche ones.

Yumm, must give these a try if we ever get BBQ weather again! I tried the Tesco ones recently and they were very nice, but the addition of sesame seeds would be a winner!

I haven't tried that one but their H20 serum is amazing.

It is impossible to find. I've not seen it for months.

The Xpert Range is fantastic, could not recommend highly enough (I am 57)

Aldi's version of Special K with red berries.

Delicious and a fraction of the price, the brand is such a rip off.

And the Aldi Fruit and Fibre takes better than Kelloggs.

I get them all the time and think they are lovely. I get the Corale ones in the Blue/Red can with the ring pull.

I like them, I get the sugar free ones.

I love bachelor's but these are absolutely fine as a substitute

ellejay · 17-06-2016 12:31PM

Thanks Thargor, popped in to pick a pack up

Also picked up a box of 'jiggly pops' ice cream; aldi's take on the now no longer available wibbly wobbly wonder, had to get a box for nostalgia

For a handy quick tasty snack the frozen baked potatoes are great. Just add your toppings of choice. I get my recipes off the spudulike menu.😀

WhiteWalls · 18-06-2016 08:45AM

The steaks in there are beautiful, not overly cheap but cheaper than a butcher.. the fillet is the one iv been buying

I tried the Pepper Sirloin ones, 2 for 6 euros they were delicious.

Slow cooking steak is a sin my man!

Elemonator · 18-06-2016 12:43PM

Their Irish steaks are unbelievable. I didn't think they would be great when I got them because they were so much cheaper than my local butcher. Turns out they outclass my local butcher and they cost way less. Win-win situation for me

Agreed. Slow cooking works best for tougher cuts of meat. Any decent steak shouldn't be slow cooked.
