Dont think i miss anything as much from Holland as my Indonesian take away and the local Indonesian Toko. Even if it is only for seeing people's head chopped off if they dare ordering chips with their meal while over the age of 6 Ended up making my own nasi goreng. Wasnt hard or bad at all, just a lot more work of course. Dont know how you get your sate sauce but i use a little bag from Conimex (brought from Holland, also avaialble on Amazon but pricey) add milk (label says water but prefer milk), add a table spoon of Surinam peanut butter or a teaspoon of Conimex Sambal Oelek (really spicy). Of course peanut sauce is fantastic on fries as well. You havent lived if you havent had a patat Tsjeronbyl once (fries topped with peanut sauce, mayonaise, ketchup, diced raw onions). Probably better to eat this the first time while completely drunk. That Conimex stuff is basically the only thing i keep bringing back when i have been In Holland. All other stuff i stopped bringing back. Only ended up stuffing my face for 2 weeks till all was gone again. So please Aldi..... dont stop the Bami Goreng!

I use to always get Avonmore soap in the carton and I always thought they were the nicest soup but these Aldi soup tastes exactly like the Avonmore Carrott and Parsnip soup and is a lot cheaper. I will be getting this in future and look forward to trying the other flavours. The Avonmore smooth vegetable soup is lovely so hope the Aldi version is just as nice.

Tigerandahalf wrote: Re the duck fillets price. I was wrong in quoting the price of €10. Only €5.60 or so. They are really excellent. I am always wary of duck due to the amount of fat and a lot does come off but the meat is superb. Even the fat on the meat is really tasty. So juicy as well that you wouldn't need a gravy.

Everything is so damned expensive in Dunnes compared to Aldi that I only bought a few items like milk, bread and butter etc. Spent only 16 Euros and headed off to Aldi to finish the shopping.

whiskeyman wrote: » If that's the case, the chicken version is watered down a good bit, and barely has any chicken pieces. The odd 'string' here or there but that's it. It's not a patch on Cully and Sully IMO. Still, for the price, it's not bad. Shame though because a lot of Aldi's stuff is nearly, if way better, than the branded stuff!
