Veg selection was rubbish too, as was the bakery.
You Lidl just isn't as good as mine - In fact the one thing I love about Lidl (Now, having lived in Germany all last year) is the bread - Great stuff. As for the Veg, are you sure you didn't go to the Aisle "round by the back door"?Veg selection was rubbish too, as was the bakery.

I just put it in the trolley, whatever it is it won't be expensive.
I'm not one of the new Aldi customers , I've been shopping there for 10 years , I'm just surprised it's take so long for everybody else to catch on
Anybody tried the extra special Belgian chocolate cheesecake in the freezer, it's lovely, really rich
We have the first Aldi opening up in a few months. My part of the country has always been Lidls but now seeing a big push by Aldi as quite a few on way.

From a Lidl point of view, good tasting deserts but ingredients tend to be crap.
List of ingredients start with sugar and goes on with mainly chemicals rather than Waitrose where sugar will be listed a few items down as they use less due to more actual raw ingredients.

That's cereals, I was talking about deserts such as cake!Sugary cereals are for the idiots who don't know better, the same poor sods who when told porridge is good for you didn't go out and buy plain porridge by the kilo bag, but instead were marketung led to overpriced porridge with more crap in it.

No idea, we make all our own cakes/biccies. Porridge...MMmm. At school it was with salt and (if you were lucky) milk. These days it's cream and maple syrup !!!
Wrong. Porridge made with water and a pinch of Maldon.Into a bowl, a slug of milk and a quick gloop of golden syrup.

You're all wrong ;-)
Soak porridge overnight in water with some dried fruit in. I personally like cranberries.
In the morning, simmer until gloopy, then grate in an apple with a waft of cinnamon over.
Yums.

ks to that. Stick it in a bowl, pour on milk, microwave two minutes, slop a fruit yogurt on it and feed it to thine gob.
No time for fannying around.

Does not of course excuse your milk and yogurt heresy.
Blessed is the maple syrup and cream.
For the Lidlers: 'Sargona' canned chick peas.
Fulsome, plump beauties are these, up for a party and ready for immediate inclusion into a succulent Chana Dhal.
By comparison, Waitrose own label canned chick peas are hard-bitten old harridans, needing many hours of coaxing to make something you'd vaguely want to eat. Moreover at twice the price.
