The new Finest/Deluxe Kettle Crisps in Slow Cooked Texas BBQ Rib flavour are nice, though they taste more like Chinese BBQ Ribs to me.

Jaysus as an Irishman I thought I'd seen it all - baked, boiled, mashed, sauteed, fried, chipped..
Even that fancy French sh1te like croquettes and gratin..
But wtf is a Noisette?

gizmo81 · 02-06-2017 08:41PM

Hahaha tell me about it, the mother served potato 4 ways one Christmas.

These Lidl Noisettes are little balls of mash potato in a crispy shell.

Couldn't find any in the one in Lucan today.

Also did anyone get the bouncy castles last week? I picked one up and it's actually not too bad. The kids love it.

None in Newbridge either. I'd say it flew out the door.

Try tomorrow, remember you'll only get it from 12.30 though, go in at 12.00 put it in your basket and hang around till 12.30:D

I spotted them. Would you just saute them with garlic butter maybe?

Is it good? I'm on wine and prosecco purchasing duties for my mother in laws birthday. I'm good with wine but not so much with bubbles. If this is good, i might get this and leave the prosecco.

gizmo81 · 03-06-2017 11:10PM

It's lovely we've been getting it since after Christmas and it's the third time it's been on offer since then.

Highly recommend it, no comparison to the Lidl prosecco, so many bubbles :pac:

Top notch for 12.50, you won't get champagne that good at that price in Ireland

Loads it in athy yesterday.

Re the bouncy castle. How old are the kids? And how much was it. There were some in Athy yesterday but I figured they'd be no good so I didn't even price them. But if they're dcent and not too expensive I will pick one up!

QueenRizla · 05-06-2017 01:20PM

The Flammekueche, part of the French range is delicious &#55357;&#56843; kind of a flaky pastry base with creamy sauce, potatoes slices, bacon and cheese. Yummy, nice change to a frozen pizza.

Surreptitious · 05-06-2017 01:29PM

The Deluxe Maris Piper chunky oven chips are lovely. I had them with some pepper sauce.

fin12 · 05-06-2017 03:55PM

The pop'd barbecued poped crisps are nice.

Kids are (nearly) 5 and 2. Perfect for them. It can just about hold 3 or 4 kids that size.
It cost €35 but you still need to get a pump to blow it up (preferably an electric one)

They have ready-to-eat mangoes in store now which are just an utter joy. I would definitely recommend them.

gizmo81 · 07-06-2017 07:48PM

Skyr Blueberry and Elderberry Frozen Yoghurt, a box with two pots.

Tasty.

(Plain and Cherry available too.)

Whispered · 07-06-2017 09:38PM

Got the mushroom risotto mix. Avoid avoid avoid. If you're in the mood for gloopy mushroom soup with rice then go ahead but otherwise avoid!

Shenshen · 09-06-2017 09:21AM

I got a pack of their snack mixed tomatoes yesterday. I normally avoid those as I feel "snack size" means just "we're giving you less, but because it looks so cute we'll charge you more". But the tomatoes looked so lovely and colourful, I decided to get them anyway.
And they are amazingly yummy! Very sweet, 4 or 5 different varieties, and very, very tasty.

B0jangles · 09-06-2017 09:25AM

^^^ Are they the ones that come in a container that looks a bit like a milkshake cup? I had them a few times a while ago when they were on special and they were gorgeous - like delicious, healthy little sweeties

Harry Palmr · 09-06-2017 10:27AM

Solevita branded Spanish lemonade. Fantastic

No, they actually came in a square plastic box. But maybe they changed packaging recently?
Came in at 1.49, so it wasn't overly expensive, especially considering how nice they were.

I completely agree with the comment on the mixed tomatoes - I ate about 3/4 of the box in one sitting. I normally get the triangle box of baby plum tomatoes, but they were out, so picked up the mixed ones instead. I think the mixed ones are seasonal maybe?

The ones in the triangular box are lovely!

Alpenfest spicy dried sausages, lovely.

chuckles30 · 12-06-2017 11:30AM

It's Italiamo specials from today - love the 2 packs of desserts (yes I know I shouldn't) and I picked up the bruschetta last time too and it was delish.
