    I go out of my way to buy the full sugar 2L bottles of that. Much better than any of the main brands an almost ⅓ of the price.

    Anyone tried the Quick Fry Steaks with Hickory Smoked Chipotle Glaze (they didn't have any plain ones left)? On a scale of 1 to 10, how spicy are they?
    (I have a few wimps at home unfortunately who'll be giving out about anything over 3). :rolleyes:

    We had these on Friday as Steak Sandwiches. Well Ciabattas really with caramelised onions and blue cheese. Nobody mentioned spicy at all, I'd have given them a 2 on the scale. They were lovely though. Did them on the bbq.....

    I think they were €1.99 for 6 of them. Definitely a lovely drink and they will be on my list from now on.

    They've gone and changed the supplier of their Pringles lookalikes, and they're disgusting.

    Is there an Aldi version of these?
    Used to get a Tesco finest version of these but they haven't been around since brexit

    I had half a tube of salt and vinegar the other night and was crippled with heart burn afterwards. Very strange as I've never gotten it from crisps before.


    On a (semi) plus, the chilli tortillas have changed again.
    Spotted them the other day and figured I'd try again for less than 40c, if they were muck they were going in the bin.
    The texture is still a bit off, very hard for a crisp but the flavour is lovely.

    Haven't seen the aforementioned torchon ham in the last few visits to Aldi, hope they're not restocking it next....

    In other news, they've added to their fries range, and they're doing both a Cajun and salt and pepper version of fries (bit like the skin on one's) and the Cajun one was a massive hit with my kids anyway, have restocked the chest freezer with another couple of bags.

    The specially selected maris piper wedges in the freezer are very good. Easily the best shop bought wedges I've tried.

    I got the salt and pepper version yesterday because there was none if the usual skin on in stock. Looking forward to trying them during the week

    Aldi used to do these Plant Menu vegan burgers in the same fridge as the hummus etc, but I haven't seen them in a few months now. Anyone seen them in their Aldi recently?

    Do you mean the beetroot, sweet potato etc. ones? Yes, I've seen them recently but it's a bit hit and miss. Mind you my local Aldi don't seem to have the foggiest notion as to what stock control is, nor do they pay much attention to putting stuff in the right place on the shelves. If the space they're supposed to go in is full, they just feck it into any old space.

    No they weren't the beetroot or sweet potato ones.

    There were, er, fake meat? I dunno what was in them, I'm not vegan so never bother checking the ingredients.

    Only seen the frozen, "no beef" burgers for a while. Very nice as are the "no sausage" rolls.

    Most of Aldi's frozen vegetarian ready meals and burgers are reduced by €1-€1.50 at the moment. I presume it's nationwide as they have proper SELs.

    The above was mentioned a few pages back. Aldi might be discontinuing some of the vegan/vegetarian lines

    They're phenomenonal. I've been pairing them with the ribeye steaks the past few months and it's a serious one-two combo. Making it as I type, actually!

    One of the nicest shop bought carrot cakes I have ever tasted - moist and not too sweet.

    We bought a lovely apple cake there yesterday. I think it's called Graínne's? It's in a rectangular box..it's nicely filling (quite heavy) and is moist which I find unusual for a pre-packed cake. Lovely apple pieces in it, and a nice sugary coating on the top, without being too sweet. We've half it gone already :D

    Can't post pic but here is a link that shows it

    That is lovely. Finish it tomorrow though as the top goes off fairly quickly. It's still perfect but the odd bits of green have to be picked off if it's left for more than a day.
