Can we get back to the food please?

I’m still raving to people about the beef short rib and truffle oil pizza at Aldi.

Interesting, dont think ive seen that in mine. Is that filled pasta?

Sounds like you're looking in the pasta section and not pizza! Go to the chilled section, think it's usually after cured meats but before microwave curries. Blue box - it's one of the rectangle pizzas. Complete game changer - just check it's not one of the QA missed ones that has little to no beef on...

You're thinking of Adolf and Rudolf Dassler?

Yes, exactly.

I'm really tempted to try that pizza but they stack all them finest pizza's on their side so every single one has the topping all crushed and stuck together down the bottom.

You certainly have to do a bit of redistribution of toppings before you put it in the oven. My wife and I are adamant that if you put the topping of the one I mentioned on one of those fancy brand bases you get with Crosta & Mollica (spelling) then you'd hit pizza god tier.

I went ALDI as part of my weekky shop today and this was the only thing not on the shelf, everything else fully stocked. Just a void above it's price sticker

We went tonight to grab a few for the weekend and they didn’t have any, and there weren’t any price tags for them either. Left mortified….

Aldi's Kentucky BBQ Crinkle Cut crisps must have cocaine or something in. Can't stop eating them.

I was looking at these for a good 2-3 minutes on the shelf. 90-95% were the sea salted ones and the rest these. Part of me thought ''f**k, they must be god if there's so few...'

but alas i didn't bother. maybe next time.

Aldi potato gratin, if you feel a bit lazy, not bad.

I use the potato au gratin that comes in a box (inside it's a vaccum sealed pouch).
super easy. dump it into a buttered ceramic tray and throw it in the oven, I like to grate on some extra cheese.

I havent read the whole thread so dont know if they have been mentioned before but Aldi have two different types of Katsu fishcakes, one is a normal style the other is a melt in the middle, both are really nice.


The melt in the middle ones aren't in stock that often so I bought a load of them the other night as they are suitable for freezing.

We do this too. Goes very nicely with slow cooked pulled gammon.

Tried the chickpea pasta from ALDI. Once i cooked it i tasted it so it was the right texture...I immediately threw it in the bin.

Tastes like cardboard, thankfully I had some regular pasta which I cooked instead.

My new favourite Pizza

I tend to take much on here with a pinch of salt, though I do shop from time to time at both Aldi and Lidl (prefer the latter and go there if I fancy fresh bread), however damn that pizza is good. Not sure if it is my supermarket fave but will get another at some point. Also got the Steak Out version to try.

I must be the only person who isn't fond of it. American hot is probably my fave type of pizza. but when i ate the Detroit one i wasn't a fan, it felt too firm compared to the LIDL 'pisa' variant.

Found the moussaka mentioned above.

Weeks of looking


Was lovely

Was going to bite the bullet after your post, went in and it's bloody discontinued by the looks of it.
