Gloomtastic!

Their Boerewors sausages are very good.

Hate to rag on Aldi but the sauce on their BBQ pork fillet is horrible. Lurid orange and smells like bean juice. Avoid.

I got a cheese and onion flatbread. It was horrible! Soggy and heavy, with a bad mouthfeel and strange taste. Avoid!

They are small single portion tins.

Chilli and onion, jalapeño, soy and ginger I think?

That one is chilli and garlic, there's also a lemon and thyme one.

I love the flavoured tinned tuna, has anyone seen it in their local store lately?

I had noticed them missing too.

Not food related but as someone who loves collecting utensils...they're selling 'kids' utensils for 5:99 a set that i would pay 5 euro a piece for. Actual silicone...not that faux silicone plastic s**te. whisk...spatula...fish slice...pastry brush.

I have a weird obsession knives/ utensils and i love the fact these are so compact. Never mind the kids ...these are so handy for those that appreciate a spacesaver.

Reappeared in my local (Galway). Bought some on Friday. Was missing for ages. They have upped the price by 10 Cent. Used to be €0.99, now €1.09.

The cloudy lemon cider is back as well. Hadn't seen it since last summer.

The real fruit splits have come back to Aldi freezers.

I've gotten the same product in different boxes in Lidl, Aldi and Tesco but haven't seen them anywhere in a few months.

These have changed and aren't really great, anymore. They've always been quite variable - not good atm - flavour less intense and less natural tasting.

The specially selected smoked haddock and cheese fishcakes are tasty, as is the Italian crumbed ham

Curb Your Enthusiasm

The Choceur Salted Pretzel chocolate bar is very nice!

Big fan of the chicken and stuffing triple sandwiches here, €1.99. Really good value as the same sandwich in CircleK is €5.15.

Bought a pack of their spinach and pinenut falafel recently and had them for lunch all this week - very tasty. Put them with lettuce, tomato, spring onion, cucumber and some grilled halloumi (also aldi) and dressing

I also bought the sweet potato pakora but haven't taste them yet.

Muahahaha

Had one of the falafel and hummus wraps for lunch yesterday. Bargain at 1.69 but dont think Id buy again as there wasnt much falafel or hummus in it, it mainly tasted of the wrap and some lettuce leaves.

Noticed that their salted cashew nuts are in a new purple coloured packet (the old one was a green packet). Not sure if the size is bigger or smaller than the previous packets but the price has gone up to 1.79, pretty sure it was 1.29 or 1.39 previously.

As for the packets of Spanish tapas, they are still not there on my fourth visit so I reckon they are disconnected now as they were always there for the last couple of years. They seem to have individual packets of the three meats that were in them instead which is another price increase in itself.

The fresh pizza bases are really nice, 2 in a pack.

Very few ingredients in the bases.

€2.99 pack.

I love these..they are in supervalu to but at 3.99. I use the west cork pizza sauce on them, you can find that around the past shelves. Delish!

Was in a massive rush today and got one of the Burrito bowls, the beef one, for lunch. Very impressed for the price and really quick to heat up in the microwave. Locally (to me anyway!) produced too!

I have had the "standard" ones of those. They are quite good.
Used them in "my" sauerkraut dishes as replacement for real smoked pork sausages (Matteson) that i can only find in the UK

The OH got me the Chilli version of these because I have been looking for big Frankfurters for ages "Brannans Irish Gourmet Hot Dogs 300g" €1.39 for 5. I hope to try them out on a BBQ soon and post if any good. https://groceries.aldi.ie/en-GB/p-irish-gourmet-hot-dogs-300g-brannans/4088600110004

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

Have they changed those cinnamon buns recently though? last couple times I bought them they weren't as nice. much firmer, just seemed less fresh and the icing looked different too

Myself and the OH had a Saturday Pizza today after trying for months in our local Aldi to get one, it was the pepperoni and was in our freezer at -18 and put straight from freezer to 200c oven for 7 minutes 30 seconds and was cooked perfectly. It was the best frozen pizza we have tried and the likes of Milano fresh pizza at 50c cheaper in Tesco comes nowhere near in quality. Granted the price is high and the toppings were finely sliced but the pizza dough was lovely and charred and flavour was good. It's one we agreed will have a place in the freezer for those lazy days.

I have to agree with the views above about the saturdays pizza. I don't like to say it, but they are priced a little high. I don't normally buy pizza, but I had bought a fair few of them (over time) after I first heard about them on here, but after a while I could no longer justify the price.
They are nice, but not double or maybe treble the price of the other pizzas beside them. But as I Wouldn't normally be a big pizza fan, maybe I'm not the best to comment, as I have heard the cheaper ones can be anything from 'chewy' to 'dry'

but I thought the couple I tried were nice.

The stone baked pizza bases in Lidl are lovely, 2 in a pack in the fridge. I think super valu do the same ones but in different packaging and a bit more expensive.
Add on the Aldi pizza sauce, a tiny sprinkle of grated mozzarella(but chopped up finely) and then a few thin slices of the fresh mozzarella and whatever else you like and you have a really good pizza.
Probably 2 for a fiver and better than any frozen pizza I've tried.
