Linda McCartney's Sausage Rolls

What?

I picked up a bottle of the Maison Duhard Malbec for €6 during French week (rrp €8) to try. It's from south west France - Comte Tolosan region.

It's very drinkable, has that 'winter warmer' quality to it even though it's only 12.5%.

Eh I just got an alert on the LIDL App saying TESING

Edit- Oops wrong thread, but can't delete.

Anyone else annoyed by them changing their Peach and Apple Loops. Wife loves them but they're not quite as sour as they used to and texture is a little different. No where near as nice.

I was looking at them the other day and pondering a cassoulet, will definitely pick them up.

I'm not a huge fan of cold charcuterie, but the idea of putting it to use in a cassoulet is a great idea!

Tried a katsu curry sauce from Lidl last week, it was near the regular curry sauces but looked like a one off special. To be fair it's marked as katsu stir fry so it was much thinner than a normal katsu curry sauce, but it also tasted nothing like one. It was sort of fruity, and tasted closer to a Balti - a bit odd with breaded chicken! It was fine but won't be repurchasing, the jars with spices on top are much nicer.

Haven't actually tried it yet but you'd need a microscope to find the four pieces of fig on the Fig & Cheese pizza.

Indeed, I love a good blaa. They need to be taken up on their "Unique to County Waterford", claim, though. It is false and there is no way that that bakery doesn't know that this is a completely false claim!

They did get PGI in 2013. Thing is, one of the four bakeries that is certified is in Kilkenny - as Walshe's well know. It's cynical, sharp practice.

While it may be true that blaas are most often associated with Waterford but they are not unique to Waterford

Ah we all know the Kilmacow bakery is essentially Waterford 😉

Lidl Deluxe Carmelized Onion and Goats Cheese pizza is the best I've tried.

Interesting. Need me a goats cheese pizza it seems!

Found this wine in my local Lidl recently - not sure if it's a Christmas special or regular stock (there was only one left on the "fancier wines" shelf).

For a tenner, it's a very very nice red indeed.

I found more today in a different shop, and have stocked up!
