€3.49 per pack and yes they are magnificent

I made a "big mac" out of one of them with 1.5 buns, and gouda cheese and it was terrific.

Pricey enough at €3.49 but whatever seasoning they use in it is the biz, cheers for the heads up

These sound unreal - I think that price is ok actually, not too far off what a 4 pack of 4oz burgers would be I imagine?

Do you know the fat content/%?

They were in Aldi in blue packets but were in the food specials aisle not with the regular noodles, it was Asian week or something, they had lots of sauces aswell, gone now. I liked them the couple of times I used them, thought Id made a terrible mistake when I took that slimy blob out of the packet but they fluffed out into lovely noodles the minute they hit the wok.

Muahahaha

Could have sworn I saw rice noodles (the flat kind) in either Aldi or Lidl a good few weeks ago. But was in both stores earlier on and no stock there, anyone know if either normally stock them or were my eyes deceiving me?

They've a new black and white pudding made by McCarthy's butchers in Kanturk. They are about the size of burger. Might be interesting to try!

Anybody else find these are gone awful recently, used to be a lovely strong cup of tea, now really weak. wonder did they change suppliers ?

I hope not... just bought two boxes but still working through old stock.

The website still seems to imply that Robert Roberts is the supplier...

I'm not joking, they're absolutely MASSIVE, don't get me wrong, they will fit in a burger bun easily, but its the height that's massive, it's like biting into a massive meatball.

They are doing 8oz "ultimate burgers" which are the business.

I highly recommend them, sold in 2 x packs, cant for the life of me remember how much they cost, but they were massive burgers and tasted fantastic.

Got the ginger one today. Was very nice made with milk and a teaspoon of honey. Had never had a Chai latte in my life before! Will definitely try the masala and cardamom versions.

Have the little chilled desserts in the earthenware pots gone? The salted caramel and chocolate orange ones. Haven't seen them in my local store now in a few weeks

Their normal strong flour is 12g protein per 100g

Their Italian 00 flour special is back. And I was panicking as I finished my last bag from last time this morning. It seems to be popular though, there were loads of French, spelt and rye bags left and I got the last 4 Italian ones.

I find it perfect. Use it for both pasta and pizza dough and have never had any issues. It’s €1.99 for a 1.5kg bag.

That's great value. I think I usually pay over €3 for the smaller bag in the health shops. Hopefully there's still some left when I'm in next.

Is it any good? I usually buy my 00 flour in the health food shops because the local Dunnes never have it. I was looking at it the other day in Aldi and it looks a good big bag.

Tried a new salad today in Aldi and it was unreal.

Edamame bean, buckwheat, lentil, red pesto and a few other bits. Really tasty with some added chicken

Best bit about it for a seeded food was no nut traces so my OH can have it too

In the same place as the Hummus in my local aldi.

Good sized portion too

Those organic cookies in the green packs in the food specials aisle are damn nice, just a plain cookie with chocolate on top, Im not buying anymore because Im just tearing through them.

Excellent, this is on my menu for the coming week! Which tortellini did you have?

It was a Spinach one, maybe spinach and cheese but think it’s the only spinach one.

Just after eating one of them African nut and chickpea stew with red rice for my lunch.

That was absolutely delicious, must try the Brazilian one next, but honestly - the African one was quality, I highly recommend.

I quite liked the Specially selected Peppermint and Liquorice definitely going to try some of the other flavours. Not usually a herbal tea drinker but I want to cut back on my late evening coffee drinking a bit.

Are they the ones with the normal tea and coffee by the entrance? If so I like the forest fruits one.

The chai varieties are one of their special buys, in the central aisle with the other food items.
