    Have they stopped doing fresh sweet potatoes? Haven't seen them in a while.

    Feeling lazy after a days overtime I had a Lidl bacon and cabbage ready meal, not bad! Ive had worse from pub carveys before.

    I like these a lot. Handy meals to have in the fridge if busy.

    They might be back as a Halloween special.

    None in my local store (Ballycullen) and the price point is gone too.

    Has anyone seen the 81% JD Gross dark chocolate recently? It has been missing in my LIDL for months now - just the 70% caramel and orange ones :-(

    This is back now but is an 85% and in new packaging - nice but preferred the 81% I think, it had a lovely mouthfeel due to the extra cocoa butter

    They have single origins in 60 and 70%s too must try them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    The dark chocolate with mint is lovely.

    Anyone know did Lidl stop selling the frozen half legs of lamb? Have looked for them a couple of times now but no joy

    Finally got the sour cream and lime tortilla chips (out of stock for over a week) I'm actually pretty disappointed. If I din't know they were supposed to be lime, I would never have guessed. They're not a patch on the Doritos lime ones which Tesco now seem to have discontinued :(

    Walkers had these lime crisps, they were gorgeous, can’t get them anywhere though.

    I picked up one of the chocolate-coated rum raisin marzipan logs yesterday and it's going to be a real struggle not to buy them every time I set foot in the place :p. So delicious and rummy and christmassy!

    Can confirm the 70% madagascar single origin bar is a keeper!

    Belgian waffles are my kryptonite.
    Thankfully I've only found them in Belgium / France, but Aldi have them in occasionally.

    Popped into Lidl this morning to see the below.
    It doesn't look seasonal, so may be a stock item.
    My weight may explode... Save me!

    Put some Nutella on the plain sugar ones and 20secs or so in the microwave. You're welcome.

    Ive seen them in my local for the past couple of years, so would say they are permanent rather than seasonal. Sorry WM :D

    Wow, first time I've ever seen them and I'd like to think I'd have everything scanned by now.
    Clearly my inner safety-waist-gain blockers have malfunctioned and I'm now at risk :D

    Pop them in the toaster. Crispy around the edges. Yum!

    Just go to Belgium, go to any kind of farmers market and get a freshly made in front of you, one.
    You ll never want one of those pre packed ones again. Problem solved.

    Cheap Ryanair flight to get rid of an addiction. Should be worth it.

    I had those waffles as well from lidl or aldi. They are not bad.
    But i had the real thing. Shouldnt even be compared to be honest

    Sorry, I know it's not food but the w5 washing up liquid is rubbish! :mad: The suds disappear in a few minutes and it doesn't take tough grease / stains off at all. Back to fairy I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,934 ✭✭✭✭fin12


    The W5 orange bottle degreaser spray is brilliant.

    fin12, do you think would it take grease off tiles that are on wall behind cooker.

    There is a product in a lot of the pound shop/homeware stores at the moment called Elbow Grease. I've used it on my cooker hood and it cleaned it easily. It's in a yellow trigger bottle. It's supposedly one of the Mrs Hinch recommended products. I don't follow her but I've heard of the hype. Anyway it's not expensive (under 1.50) and I'd say it might suit you for cleaning your tiles.
