Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

These are lovely pizza bases - never bothered with these type of bases before but very impressed.
Pizza obviously not as good as from a pizza place but better than the fresh deli ones.
I grated part of a block of mozzarella from Dunnes (€1.50) and ½ can of Mutti Sauce (€2.15 for 2 Tesco).
€1.99 for the 2 bases - and 494 calories each.

How are the wines in Lidl? I’ve just moved to an area with one. I’m particularly partial to Rioja, Malbec and Sauvignon blanc if anyone has particular recommendations.
Am more familiar with their reds.
The Chiantis are lovely though I think need a decanting.
Recommended is the Alma da Vinha Portuguese red for about €7.50.
You can't go wrong with the Riojas, I like these a lot:

https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/red-wine/cepa-lebrel-rioja-joven/p10027
The Cimarosa and basic stuff from S Africa, Australia, California & Chile can be hit and miss. Think they are currently 6 for €29 until Christmas though if you fancy a lucky dip:

Safer to go with the Winemaker's Selection range which are very nice.

The Resvera Privado from Chile range are good - though I don't see their Malbec listed anymore on the Irish site, this is from the UK site:
https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/red-wine/chilean-malbec-reserva-privada/p21823
They have wines on special in the bins which contain some absolute crackers, but the problem is by the time you figure out which ones are good they've gone
Oh and avoid the Conde Noble Spanish red for €4... wouldn't even use it for cooking."To follow knowledge like a sinking star..." (Tennyson's Ulysses)

There’s an app called Vivino which is good for reviews. I find Lidl’s wine selection has gone downhill in recent years particularly since they started rolling out the new store format.0 -

They are in the special range for Christmas. beside the chicken pies, vegetarian roast, nut roast etc.
Sometimes I think it's nearly better *not* to try the Xmas specials / special buys etc. as the intense disappointment of loving something and realising it'll be gone in a couple of weeks is too much sometimes!
