    I really like the Deluxe free-range eggs from corn-fed chickens, they taste very nice (of course that could be just in my mind and they taste like any other egg. The yolk does have a lovely colour though).

    You could not script this interaction. Gold. :D

    The Dulano pate selection, I'm on the second one and absolutely delicious, so far.

    For fans of Reece's, the peanut butter cups are solid

    Honey flavoured peanuts and cashews.
    Good God, I could eat a bag in one go!

    Trying to eat healthy snacks.
    They have lightly salted rice crackers (also Thai?) which are a nice crunch snack.
    Small bag of cocao and orange protein balls at the checkout which are a nice treat with a coffee.

    The Deluxe pizzas in the chilled section are very good for a pre-made pizza.

    Are these the big oval ones? If so i very much agree they would be my go-to pizza if ordering from a Pizzaria isnt on the table.

    My wife got an almost identical one from Supervalu the other day (the spicy chicken one) and it was very much the same thing but more expensive (i think).

    The newer one they brought out with salami and njuda and little drop peppers is excellent imo.

    Kind of a random recommendation, but the deluxe Irish strawberry jam (black label) is a real winner. It has a lovely smooth texture, full of flavour and iirc has 4/5 ingredients.


    Also, slightly off topic....does anyone know if the renovations on the Limerick (Dublin road) Lidl store have ceased in line with the government restrictions on closing construction sites? It was due to re-open sometime in February...

    might be abit late now but also their deluxe little tubs of tiramiisu almond I think, are so yummy and light for a dessert!

    Had the chicken one and wasn't mad on it. Aldi much nicer. The base was very chewy from the Lidl one. Might give another one with different toppings a try

    They're the ones. Funnily, we also had the SuperValu version but much preferred the Lidl one.

    I haven't tried the chicken one, but I think I've tried all the others and would recommend. I like the cheese combination they use (I think it might be the mascarpone). That being said, I wouldn't say it was a particularly crispy base alright.

    Chewy base is a bonus in a pizza.

    I don't usually eat sweet things, but those caramel waffles are amazing!

    Dunno if it's been mentioned here yet, but a couple of jars of Lidl DeLuxe Marmalade with Gin at Christmas, and I find them really tasty.
    Will buy a half dozen, just in case they don't continue them.

    I posted about it a few months ago, it's absolutely gorgeous. All of the boxes that came into my Lidl over Christmas consisted solely of the raspberry version, not a jar of marmalade to be found. I had planned to stock up as it is limited edition, but no joy.

    Cavan town store has a few trays with a good mix of the Gin mixture ones and I think, Whiskey and Cloves.
    Bought a half dozen this morning.

    What do they look like? I like their brownies and toffee yum yums but the latter are very sugary, one is enough.

    Their JD Grosse 70 and 85% chocolate seems to have gone missing again.

    Has anyone seen it in their store?

    Their single origin is even nicer (no 85% though).
    Bit dearer iirc but still cheap.
