Had a Dexter Rib Eye yesterday

minute each side on a hot griddle pan, then into the oven for a medium rare finish. Rib Eye needs the extra cooking time to take it from rare to medium rare or even medium so you break down the connective and render the internal fat.

That was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Lovely and tender, juicy and flavoursome.

Ribeye is my favourite cut, totally different flavour but it needs correct cooking to get it right. Must pick up one of those in Aldi tomorrow.
I also have a heifer named Ribeye this year

Aldi have mozzarella and sundried tomato chicken sausages. Very tasty for the low kcal and fat content . I hope it's not a once off product

I was looking for these yesterday evening, but couldn't see any in my local Aldi.

Where are they located does anyone know?

Will be heading to Aldi to stock up on all the staples!

They are really nice! Picked some up after reading about them here. "Baked" them in the Air fryer. Breakfast bliss!

Will report back in the morning.

I'm not a big chocolate/snack fan but I can't believe how good the Choceur Rum Raisin & Nut Bar is. It's got so much rum in it I'm reluctant to share with my kids!!

Picked up one of these today. The flavour takes me right back to childhood

Picked one up just now, that'll be tomorrow's Friday night treat! I hope it's absolutely laced with chillies, I'm hopelessly addicted.

Well, I'm very sorry to report that I was disctinctly underwhelmed by this :-(

It smelled so good when I unwrapped it that I had seriously high hopes but it was all a bit disappointing in the end. Base was good (after a bit of crisping up on a dry pan) but everything else was just.... meh. The sauce was very sweet. The chillies were so thinly sliced that they just turned to paper in the oven. Nowhere near enough cheese. And the whole thing was very dry, even though I went slightly under on the cooking time, as I always do with pizza because I finish it off on a dry pan to crisp up the base.

There was loads of potential here, but it just didn't work for me.

Aldi should actually sell those bases on their own, you could work magic with them.

My dad is the biggest spice wuss ever. The first time I made fajitas for him he thought the bowl of jalapeÃ±os were olives and took a big forkful while I was dishing up.

I don't find jalapeÃ±os particularly hot but jesus christ, I thought I was going to have to ring an ambulance for the man.

I ate an entire one of those before, Dad came and stole a bite and thought he was going to have a heart attack!!! Didn't find it too bad but wasn't a pleasant heat, more burning so wouldn't get it again.

Thinly sliced raw chillies going on it once it comes out of the oven, so!

Lidl sometimes do a jalapeno pizza as part of their El Tequito Mexican specials. I have an asbestos tongue and I ended up having to pull the chillies off the last couple of slices. By far the hottest supermarket pizza I've ever come across.

It's really well-spiced, but not actually spicy-hot (unlike the frozen lidl hot and spicy pizza which is just... lethally hot). Might be an idea to pick up a few extra red chilis to pan-fry and then sprinkle on top if you want a bit of extra heat?

They have a limited edition fresh Chicken Karahi pizza at the moment that is very delicious indeed - good crust and beautifully flavoured topping.

Had one of those pizzas during the week and I must admit it's one of the nicest shop bought ones I have had

The chicken itself isn't that spicy, but it's liberally laced with slices of red chilli which you can push to one side if necessary.

Cheers... Will give it a go... A stray chilli seed that I miss here or there I can cope with
