Anyone try the specially selected frozen veggie burgers. Think there are 2 flavours/types?

I thought the falafel ones were minging, but someone else on the thread loved them

Like a lot of products Aldi dupe, it's pretty much the same only 3 times the price.

Their peanut butter (foodie market brand) is fab and it's way cheaper than the Meridian which I normally get and you get more of it.

They're saying take out a credit union loan and buy the overpriced Linwood branded ones instead.

Ah, never heard of Linwood.

Same problem here. The problem wasn't that it was treated (with sulphur dioxide) but that it wasn't labelled as such.

Tried the chia seeds as well, but it goes all gloopy when it comes anywhere near milk. Like eating wallpaper paste.

Anyone else noticed the lack of milled linseed recently. It has been missing a few weeks now. Anyone any idea why? Potentially a change of supplier as I noticed chickpeas were missing a while but have come back this week in a different brand.

Pretty sure the linseed had to be recalled due to a labelling issue.
Something to do about how it was treated with sulphur?

The only one I've used is the garlic, but I found that fine.

Same with the coriander, have had to lash it into dishes for any of the flavour to come through. It's annoying because when I buy it fresh, some always goes to waste and I thought having some in the freezer would be better but.... it's a poor substitute.

I've found the flavours of these frozen herbs very muted. I guess because they are frozen

Yeah I had parsley and basil and it was pretty much useless. Didn't really add anything to a dish.

Last time I was in I noticed they had frozen cartons of various herbs/ingredients that you may use less frequently - bought parsley and chopped chillis, but they had garlic, ginger and coriander too - all of which I use enough of to not bother with it.

Dear but useful for quite a lot of cooking.

I use the ginger, chilli and Garlic ones a lot for stir frys.
V handy if I don't have them fresh.

I wonder what name they came up with for this one?

Kidbueno?

They're called Spirals!
They haven't gone with a direct packaging copy at all, and the shape of the bars is quite different too.
Tried the double chocolate ones today and they're nice - not as good as the hazelnut ones, but a nice truffley filling. Noticed they also have coconut ones.

I've never had a jambon in my life but got these on your recommendation.
Very tasty ....pastry lovely and light and cheese lovely. Handy to have a few packs in back of freezer for a random lunch.

+1 on the jambons. Stuck two in the airfryer for 10 minutes last night and they came out lovely. Just gotta be careful not to eat them too quick or you'll burn your mouth from the melted cheese

Aldi Sandyford have it in stock (in the kitchen/personal care aisle) all year round and I agree, they are great products and just as good if not better than the much more expensive branded stuff.

I could be wrong about this but there's a universal measure for sunscreen and it's on the bottles in the form of the little stars. The more stars the better the sunscreen. It's actually quite surprising to compare various brands and prices by their star rating. The more expensive ones are quite often lower star ratings than the cheaper own brand ones.
Double check that before plastering your kids in something that cost 50p for a litre, but I'm pretty sure the star rating is what counts.

The ALDI suncream I’ve bought previously has 5 stars which is the highest rating. A lot of the common branded ones are 3 stars out of 5. The sun factor measures the protection against UVB rays and the stars measure the protection from UVA. The more stars the better the UVA protection.

So this isn't strictly (or at all!!) Food related but does relate to Aldi

Does anybody remember when they started stocking sun cream last year? We're going away in the middle of March and found their stuff so reasonable and good last summer. I can't remember how much but it was way cheaper than main brand stuff and no issues at all with it.

Thinking it might be a bit early for it but would love to save a few extra euro for the holidays if possible-we've two kids so cost of things like sun cream really adds up!!

I got the factor 50 one last year, and it’s brillant, have never burned. It was €4.
