Aldi... what do you recommend?

can recommend the ‘long chips’, bacon flavour, very easy to eat and not too bad at 99c. They were in the middle aisle

Has anyone spotted Langhams Grain free dog food?

I bought these https://groceries.aldi.ie/en-GB/p-4-crispy-chicken-strips-bbq-dip230g-oakhurst/5019101305643 because for the price I expected them to be worth the cost in the flavour and coating. Nope, don't waste your money when you can get these https://groceries.aldi.ie/en-GB/p-breaded-chicken-fillet-goujons-gluten-free-400g-roosters/4088600039640 for a few cent more and nearly twice the weight.

The cheap mozzarella balls in the white bags aren't great, no taste off them. Try the more expensive one, in a blue bag. Much nicer and worth the extra money.

I got a tip off a friend who used to work in a proper pizza place. Cut the mozzarella balls into about 12/16 small chunks. Get some of the grated/bagged mozzarella but stick it into a blender so it's almost like breadcrumbs. Sprinkle that on sparingly and add some of the chunks with it. Just make sure you don't put on too much, he reckoned if it looks a bit miserly with the cheese you've got it right. We'd get 2 pizzas (maybe 3 at a push) from the one mozzarella ball.

It's a game changer in our house. We do pizzas with our own dough about every second week all thru the year, we use the BBQ with a pizza stone and they cook in about 2 min 30 seconds.

All that kind of precooked meat stuff in Aldi is absolutely shocking quality, literally tastes like dogfood smells, I dont go anywhere near it anymore.

By the butter I believe.

It’s by the fresh ready meals/coleslaw/hummus in my local.

The ones I’m referencing are:

https://groceries.aldi.ie/en-GB/p-sourdough-stonebaked-pizza-base-2-pack-360g-carlos/4088600371542

They do a sourdough and mini base from the same range.

Oh yes. I got an Ooni recently so tried it out with one of those bases last weekend. Cane out lovely.

The irish smoked mackerel in the fridge is lovely. It's a little bit expensive but it can be eaten hot and cold so nice for a sandwich for lunch or with some spuds and veg for dinner.

McGraths gold label teabags are good.

Junk food recommendations - the Choceur milk chocolate bar in the cardboard box is really nice, spuddys cheese and onion crisps too, also the deluxe gummy sour strawberries.

Not yet but will definitely pick them up if there's some left when I go shopping later. These limited edition specials never last long

Has anyone seen the kind bar dupes - the peanut/sea salted nut bars in the pack of 4 for 3 euro recently? They have vanished in my store for approx 2 months now. They were lovely and much cheaper than kind bars - they were beside the biscuits and gluten free snacks section

I had the Wagyu burgers yesterday. Just did them on a medium grill for 25 minutes as per the instructions. All the family agreed they were excellent. Definitely a step up.

I think I saw those nut bars in the section with breakfast cereal/muesli.
