The flavour/texture of milk, butter, cheese from winter feed would be different to summer/autumn grass grazing

If they're going to age it for 24 months you'd think they'd only use milk from the good time of the year

The wax coated mature cheddar cube at Christmas was lovely. Definitely one to look out for in 9 months' time

Do any of the people who moan about fruit veg actually look at it before buying or do they wear their masks over their eyes?

I've never had a problem with aldi or Lidl fruit and veg, but I'll always check it, look at the stalks, check underneath and if unsure, I won't buy.

Same in Tesco. An extra few seconds is all you need

Generally, I find Aldi better than Lodl for the veg / fruit offer as regards quality. (Marks and Spencer is the best)

I've had one of those Cheddar Cheese Bakes with Chorizo in my fridge for ages - had it just now as a very late brunch with crusty baguette from the oven. I was starving.

My God, it was gorgeous! Possibly the most unhealthy thing I'll eat all week, but worth it all the same.

I hope they weren't just a Christmas thing, that's a very nice standby treat to have stashed away!

The Specially Selected Vienna loaf (made in Mayo) is lovely. For pre-packaged bread, it tastes quite fresh

Would be lovely accompaniment to soup.

They have them all year round - I love that chorizo one

Have you actually had anything delivered to parcel Motel/Wizard from Aldi UK? I tried this before and the address was blocked and they wouldn't allow me order delivery to it for either of those services.

I wonder if anyone has successfully purchased from Aldi.co.uk?

An order using Addresspal (with GB address) goes through, but 30 mins later the payment is reverted. Have also tried using AddressPal as billing address.

Did anyone pick up the pappardelle pasta in the black box for 99c?
It was absolutely delicious , normally but it at €4 buy not too often / but Aldi shoppers will know how infuriating it is when these things disappear again ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±

I’ve had that many of them now, I could set up a shop selling the little pots.

I bought what I thought was the cheddar and cider one home.

There were squares of stuff in it, which I later discovered was chorizo.

I’m vegetarian.

What section are these in? Sounds like my kind of comfort food. Didn't find them in the smaller Aldi near me today, will try the bigger one tomorrow.

Brilliant, thanks. Will look for them in the morning.

Muahahaha

Has anyone seen the packets of Spanish tapas which has pepperoni, salami and prosciutto in it? Have looked for it two weeks in a row now in two different Aldis and no sign of it. Shame if its discontinued as it was good for pizza toppings and was the perfect amount for two pizzas.

Also the jars of jalapeno peppers must be missing almost six months now, not sure whats going on there. I think Lidl is the same or at least I cant see any in there either the odd time Im in.

You might find them with the Italian products.

Muahahaha

Do you mean in the fridges near enough to the cheese? Thats where it always was but it wasnt to be found there. They do have other individual packets of pepperoni, chorizo and proscuitto but the Spanish tapas one with all three in it seems to be gone, at least for the last two weeks anyway. I looked at the shelves and there is no price label for it there either so theres a chance its discontinued.

No, I just meant that none of those things are Spanish so you might be looking in the wrong place.

Muahahaha

ah right I get you. Theyre not in their normal position near the cheese anywhere and there are other packets of Spanish meats there. Hopefully they are not discontinued but Ive been buying them for the last year and this is the first time they havent been there.

I actually only happened on them from a recommendation from this thread. It was probably sometime in the last six months I saw the recommendation but can't be sure how long they've stocked them

They have been in stock a long time, most people like to microwave them for 15-20 seconds to give them that bit extra!

Has anyone tried Aldi the Click and Collect service... seems to have been added to my local store in the past week and I'm intrigued

Yep - twice now and it's been great. Only complaint was ordering whole free range chicken, it being out of stock and not getting a substitute. Popped in to the store and they had free range breast and normal whole chicken so surely one or the other would have been sensible to offer!

did this not defeat the purpose of click and collect
is it more so for people who dont want to go in to a store due to covid?

100% it did but the store took the feed back well when I explained. I'm hoping they might add a "substitute with this item" box like Tesco have

Actually, I guess click and collect is for people who want to save time shopping too.

Mix of both - I'm front line so don't like exposing people to me and I hate the time waste of going into the store so click and collect on the way home from work is ideal

Opened a pack of the new recipe cool flavour tortilla chips last night. They truly are very bad. I guess 'cool' flavour is in no way a defined flavour as they have gone from tasting like what americans call ranch (buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs, and spices) to flavour on the back being described as garlic, tomato & cheese. Definitely something I won't be buying again there unless changed back.

Muahahaha

Yeah the new recipe for those tortilla chips made them go down hill. Theres other ones there in the black bags, srriacha and chilli or sea salt and lime are the options. Theyre almost twice the price but are actually edible.

Those buns are ok. Nothing to get excited about to be honest, they don't taste or feel like proper cinnamon buns and the icing overpowers the cinnamon flavour. Won't buy them again.
