    I recommend the blue Stackers and the nuts mix. Also love their bbq shredded ham slices. The cafe lattes in the box. Twomeys sourdough bread slices. Apricot yogurts. Ardagh cream cheese spread.
    Strawberry and pomegranate smoothie. Vegetable biryani pot.

    I think it's Aldi's version of salt and vinegar pringles

    For anyone that likes Cinnabon buns when they are in the US Aldi's version are very nice. They do a two pack in where you get the Danish pastries for €1.79. My sister loves the Cinnabon cinnamon buns and rates these as a good alternative on this side of the atlantic. A fraction of the cost too!

    Have swapped over to this from a name brand one and for less price great quality and nearly double the amount it's a winner in this house

    Yup, more crumbly and seems more "vintage".

    Love the Aldi black vintage cheddar but was always frustrated with the wet crumbly edge and trying to re wrap it. I got these new things called beeswax wrappers which I mould around the cheese. They are reusable, really recommend.

    The skin on french fries talked about further up the thread finally arrived in my local store over the weekend. Had some earlier and would agree that they are a really good french fry, crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. Had been getting the beef dripping fries the last few weeks which are more like a chunky chip, they're not bad but nowhere as good as the skin on fries.

    Well it’s not mine, I wish I had the time, it comes up on google if people search but they also do them on Amazon.

    I never heard of them until I saw the advert.

    This is in relation to the beeswax wrappers?

    I think I recall seeing the ad somewhere too. Seemed a bit pricey. But you find them worth it?

    I might be tempted if they are any good!

    The organic beef mince is very good.

    So hard to find organic or free range meat, but I see it becoming more available these days, especially chicken.

    Pork is still hard to find.

    yeah I went through a bottle of that. Only problem I had with it is the twisty cap to open/close it, when you closed it a blob of mustard would come up and sit above the nozzle every time. Had lots of yellow spots on my tea towels as a result of always having to wipe it off.

    Other than that it is nice stuff for a mild mustard, it goes well on a ham and cheese sandwich. Theres a nice sweetness to it to balance out the saltiness of ham. It would be good on hot dogs too.
