If like them and you're near an Iceland try their "nacho burger". It's not healthy by any means. In a bun with mashed avocado and chopped tomato. Really lovey for a treat.

Iceland have No Bull Burgers, they're amazing, the best veggie (well actually vegan) burgers I've tried.

Spicy Bean Burgers are great, like really good, nicest meat substitute I ever had.

Lovely.
I actually never tried the ordinary veggie burgers, as these are so nice.
Anyone try both?

I prefer the bean burgers but my fave meat free thing they sell is the fresh beetroot burger. They're fab.

I have a jar of the all in one sauce I was looking for the dried spice but there was none there last night

Anyone know if the jars of korma are nice?

The ones with the dried spices in the plastic cap are great - quite hard to get though so when I see them I get a couple. Haven’t tried the all-in-one jars.

I buy the 8% mince beef for €2.49 in Aldi and I find it grand.
I wouldn't buy Tesco mince; it's all stringy and doesn't break up in the pan.

Gotta recommend the three-pack cheesecakes for €1.39.

The blackcurrant ones were delicious but not so keen on the mango and passionfruit. It had bits in it, which I don't like.

The chocolate-chip brioche for €1.89 is gorgeous too.

I buy the extra lean mince in Aldi as I find it much tastier than Supervalu and Tesco.
I find it has a more "meatier" taste and better value.

I quite like the Black Angus 5% fat mince (sorry, I always go for the super lean stuff, I know most people don't), but I still prefer the supervalu extra lean 5% stuff overall. It's still good though and about €3.50 for 500g I think.

Not sure about the mince but their 5% fat burgers are the best of all the Supermarket own brands, in my opinion.

I find all their mince excellent.
I get the lean stuff a fair bit. Good range of choice.

They have 18% fat mince now too, I made burgers with that before because the butcher is like a million miles away and I found it really nice.

Personally I find supermarkets and butchers can be hit and miss with mince. It all depends on how it looks on the day.

Feckin loved McGraths Gold Blend.

Gone now and something unrecognisable is in its place. Bought something in a yellow box for the craic. But I have 180 ordinary McGraths to get through first.

We should complain! McG Gold Blend was brilliant. Well I tried to complain but there was no one in the store to say it to, not that the store manager makes these decisions either.

I am gutted I tells ya! What can I do now? weeps.

That's the way Aldi and Lidl work unfortunately. They have a brand for so long and then just stop buying from it or change its name and packaging. Maybe it has to do with avoiding creditors or maybe its other reasons.

BTW I am not a neanderthal, I tried FB and Twitter and so on, but the alerts drove me nuts with nothing but drivel really. But each to their own, not knocking it for others.

Your much better off without them. I am on Facebook but its head wrecking compared to how it was 8 years ago and Twitter I tried twice but gave up. It would turn your brain to mush Twitter would. Not good at all. Can't even get into the profiles I had there now anyway lol. I forget the pass codes lol and am not that bothered about it either.

If you are on Twitter contact Aldi that way. I find they are very good to respond to tweets.

Has anyone tried the chicken & broccoli bake? What's the verdict?

I had it a while ago. It was ok.

Loads of chicken in it, that looked and tasted like it might actually have been pieces of real chicken, which was a surprise. Weighed a ton, loads and loads of sauce, which was only ok.

I'd say it's not the healthiest thing you'll ever eat, but I've had far worse!

To be honest a few years ago I would have said it was bad but we've cut back on Aldi over the last year or two and just get bits and pieces there now.

For an Irish firm, Valeo do seem like to throw production overseas for realistically minimal gain

If I'm going to be given Dutch tea (biggest producer of blended product for sale, so probably where its moved to) I may as well buy Lyons, there isn't an Aldi that convenient for me anyway[/QUOTE]

So you're probably in the wrong forum :rolleyes:
