Bought a packet of the Whirlz ice lollies recently ad just had one now. Very tasty little things, and only 49 cals each to boot. Actually nicer than HB Twisters

Vegan sausage rolls are not bad at all, tastes like the kind of stuffing you get in a turkey and ham carvery, nice pastry aswell.

How did you cook them and what did you serve them with? For me, merguez is best used like chorizo or andouille and not treated like a normal pork sausage. As in, I wouldn't just cook it and eat it in its own right in a fry or with mash and gravy, if that makes sense.

Just fried them and had with salads and bread.
Maybe should have done them in the oven.

The don't even look nice or appealing to me,but thats just me.

I just tried the frozen specially selected falafel burgers and I won't be buying them again - I thought it was stodgy and bland

Lady Haywire

I had the Mediterranean ones, fried them like a normal sausage but think they'd be nicer cooked in an oven.
Found them a bit 'meh' but my Father loved them.

Some nice tubs of hummus in Aldi at the moment.
The one with pesto and parmesan shavings is really good. I tried a moroccan one lately as well, a bit spicy but lovely too.

The Greek feta cheese block is really good too. Throw it in a wrap, salad or burger.

A bit of a bug bear is how thin the salmon is in the supermarkets these days. A lot are also coming without skins - consumer demand or a lice problem in the fish farms I wonder? The skinless do seem to be dearer though. So maybe it is consumer demand.

The sea salt crackers are lovely for snacking too.

Any only Fools and Horses fans out there, these are coming into Aldi on Sunday 9th June. I think they are pretty cool.

Had the tomato and sweet pepper risotto for lunch. Spent 15 minutes caressing it on the hob and then after 8 or 9 mouthfuls I put it down, it is very bland and devoid of flavour so the rest of it went in the bin shortly thereafter. A banana was my Sunday lunch instead

I'm no salt fiend however sometimes some is needed to draw out flavors in things. For example a bland soup can be transformed into a flavor explosion with the right amount of seasoning.

So to summarise: They are in the Aldi building.

This seems to depend on the Aldi. I got mine in Fonthill and went straight to the lamb section. No sign of them and I presumed they were sold out. But nope, spotted them a bit further down the store, nestled in with all the other sausages.

Moral of the story, check both locations.

Same with me yesterday, found them in with the sausages.

Just saw them around (or possibly in with, I wasn't really paying attention) the super 6 stuff in the Newlands Cross store, I'm pretty sure they were in or around the same spot a couple of weeks ago when I bought them.

Dont go for the (breakfast) sausages, you will not find them there.

The new chocolate digestives, made by Belmont, are excellent.

Are these specials? Any idea what section they're in, would love to pick some up.

Box they are in also has an other kind (mediterranean) in them so you might not see them at all when they are the ones in the front

Seethrough package and they are quite thin. As merguez should be.

The lamb leg steaks are very tasty.

The Bombay potatoes / Aloo Gobi Saag have been missing in my local recently - hope they're not gone for good..

New product in the freezer - Vegan sausage rolls.
Unfortunately, Palm Oil is in the ingredients, so I won't be buying them.

If it makes any difference to you, ALDI only use sustainably sourced palm oil in their food products.
