I tried the jar of curry sauce with spices in the lid. Pleasantly surprised. I usually find Indian style sauces in jars to be either lacking flavour or else totally overpowering and perfumy. I'm looking forward to trying the other varieties.

I see in my local Lidl this evening that they've started stocking something similar.... I wonder are they as good???

They've got Gruener Veltliner? :eek:

I need to stock up!!!

I'm always on the lookout for Austrian and German white wines - I grew up with them, and maybe that's why I prefer them to just about any other white wine. I'm flexible with the reds, but the German and Austrian whites can't be beaten in my humble opinion.
Only finding them here is much trickier than I thought when I first arrived.

They have.

And it is excellent for that price point!

Read about it in one of the Saturday or Sunday supplements a few weeks back as a recommendation so bought a couple.

They did not last long and I went back and stocked up on a few more!

I have tried most of the Aldi wines and the best to my mind is the Bushland Shiraz.... its divine. Very rich, fruity with a hint of chocolate....

I did not like any of the Aldi Malbec's and usually I am a fan of Malbec, same with the Merlot found them very bland.

Azzara Chilean white is decent and the frozen curly fries are very tasty.

Yeah I love that wine.
I also recommend The Outlander (new in-store) for €5.29. Really lovely.

Did a bit of shopping in Aldi for a change. Will let ye know what I think. I got the Granary Grinder which I had before in someone's house and it was really nice. The slices are big but you can cut them in half for sandwiches and the like.

You can buy tinned black beans in Dunnes. The brand is epicure and they are €1.09 AFAIK
Have bought a pack of dried black beans in a health food store and will try cooking and freezing them.

Thanks.
But the only Dunnes close by for me is in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and that place scares me

Maybe 1 day when i am brave enough.... till then, i ll use the black eye beans

Can you recall how much they are? I'm on a very tight budget and I was advised that I should try black beans and egg burrito or cajun chicken, black beans, lettuce and cheese meal.

Got a 500g bag of dried black eyed beans in last week in Aldi weren't much more than a euro. If budget is tight better getting the dried ones. Bit more work than tinned with soaking but a bag of dried is about the same as 3 or 4 tins of cooked.

Back to Aldi: has anybody seen the stone baked spelt rolls recently? They seem to have disappeared

Staff in store could not tell me if they will be back. Really miss them!

Only seen kidney and cannellini beans... also tins of 'mixed beans', but no stand alone black beans.

I'm told that they have very good wild venison at the moment.

Is it deer?

:pac:

Must try it.

I love the focaccia bread - twin pack in the refrigerated section.
They have garlic and mozzarella or another with olives I think?
It's half the price of anything I've seen in Supervalu and a lovely addition to pasta dishes.

Yes they do. Which store are you referring to? If you're talking about Sandyford the fresh pasta is at the back of the store in a refrigerated section on the back wall between the veg and the meats, directly opposite the new fish display unit. That section contains all the ready meals, fresh pizza's etc and the fresh pasta is on the top shelf towards the left of the unit.

Saw that in my search for the salads.

Graces7

My local ALDI did have the Tangy Cheese Pasta salad in again after my request, so I bought the two left and one is in the freezer.. Also the triple pack chicken sandwiches for E1. 79. Chicken, bacon, stuffing on malted bread.. Really hearty.
