Oh, I buy pita breads all the time, love them, haven't seen these ones in my aldi yet.

Do Aldi sell the bottles of Nordic fruit cider anymore? Have not seen them in two stores the past couple of weeks.

Those crispy onions which are in the ready meals section. I had a half packet of steak ones languishing in the fridge so I put them into cous cous before adding water, butter & seasoning. REALLY tasty! Added a lovely flavour.

Really nice on a burger too ðŸ‘Œ

Just saw these are 'made in Thailand using Thai chicken'.
Can't say I'm too happy with that...

One would have expected Thai producers to use Irish chicken the way Irish producers use Thai chicken.

Chicken Satay Skewers w/ Satay Sauce in the freezer section down from the pizzas. Delicious.

tried first time rib eye stakes, for the cost and flavor plus easy to prep on the whim, was nicely surprised, seen it mentioned a lot, but def one of the better quality meats. Plus love their garlic butter.

Oh thats weird, I've been able to get it consistently in the few Aldis I frequent (Sandyford and Nutgrove mainly).

Theres also a reserva version of it around now, I tried it and its nice, but not sure if its worth it, namely because the regular one is so good.

Like yourself, I've largely gone off the white wines for winter now.

This is what the Dao bottle looks like for reference; https://www.aldi.co.uk/gym-dão-red/p/014600293506300

Just tried it, I thought its barely any better than the "Baron" brand at half the price.

I second this, picked up a beef one yesterday on a whim, had it at lunch time today, definitely be picking up again, I imagine they would be ok cold too.

Whereabouts are these in the store?

Are they with the sushi/sandwiches or somewhere in the chill fridges?

Cheers

I haven't seen the Animus red in a while in my local aldis

The white is there alright, but it's gone far too wintry for white now.

Must keep an eye out for that other one.

Got a Burito bowl in here from Nutriquick. 3 mins in the microwave.

Quiet tasty, more of a healthy meal, but for €3.50 you can't go wrong. Would highly recommend.

Is that good? I am trying to find a good alternative to the Dominos garlic and herb dip, for when we do our own pizzas, thanks.

Personally I didn't care for it and ended up throwing out the bottle I bought - much prefer this one, think its what Four Star use https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harrisons-Garlic-Herb-Sauce-300ml/dp/B07212F1K1/

I love it, got plenty of good reviews here and anybody I know who tried it liked it.

The crucial's garlic and herb is pretty decent but the hellman's is better imo

thats a garlic & chilli sauce with no herbs though (at least ingredients list no herbs), while I often add sriracha chilli sauce to the crucials I usually have it without. The crucials one is quite runny, a little thicker than the pizza dips you get from takeaways. Chipper garlic sauces tend to be thicker.

Has anybody seen the small jars of almond butter there recently? It’s delicous and went to pick up another jar last week and no sign of it in my local Aldi, tried again this week and nothing, I hope they haven’t taken it off the market

I went looking for a supermarket version of takeaway/chipper garlic sauce last year - I tried about a dozen garlic sauces, both shop-bought and homemade and the closest I've found is Hellman's Garlic Chilli sauce:

Aldi sometimes have it as a special for about 1.15 too!

I got it recently, having seen so much about it on here.

It's only alright..... slightly artificial taste off it, certainly nowhere nearly as good as a fresly mixed garlic/herb mayo. But handy to have in the fridge (as long as it lasts)

Crucials garlic & herb is back.

The 3 types of brioche buns seem to be gone, thought they were sold out but could see no space for them, these are the burger, seeded burger and hot dog buns.

There are seeded brioche buns but they are 80g and very bready, nothing at all like the others, they are also not long life like the others.

Has anyone tried the buttermilk fish burgers? Every time I am in there I pick them up but leave them back at the last minute.

Had them a while back, they're grand, pretty much what you'd expect. Be careful not to overcook them.

Aldi have unfortunately changed the recipe of their rice range.

Old stuff was very nice - as good as Uncle Ben's.

New stuff hasn't got a great texture and is clumpy

Its the same with the 99c tray type too, definitely not as good as the old type they stocked.

Is the toilet paper any good and what price is it usually?

Saxon Softest quilted 4 ply is good. Less than a fiver for 9. Better then Cushelle or Andrex, in my opinion, which have both gone very thin.

Kitchen towels are good too.

The standard burger ones were in stock in 2 aldis near me, no seeded or hotdog ones and no sign of space for them.

They had them in Aldi, Belgard Road, this week. I'm eating one right now, with a chicken thigh burger, nom nom.

I think in other years the fancier buns were usually only sold in summer and not stocked over the winter.
