ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?

[J4CKO]

I have a think for the Aldi Beef and Vegatable chunky soup, load of white pepper, round of toast, tasty, hot cheap lunch.

i have treid a few of the tinned soups , not bad for lunch at work. when i do occasionally work it will be on a retail park at night. so options are rather limited.
has to be black pepper for me with chilli sauce

I have tried them - but still prefer Branston baked beans

Agreed. Branston win, including against the Aldi version. Heinz are not nice.

I used to love Branson beans but then they started giving me killer heart burn.

Too much sugar.

Aldi baked beans are by far the best on the market. Anyone who says otherwise has dodgy tastebuds

We tried Aldi beans yesterday for the first time - delicious with none of the cloying sweetness of other brands.

I have recently discovered white pepper, everything went black pepper years ago and I forgot it, sort of seventies style !

Lidl has some good Italian wines at the moment: a very 'pineappley' Sicilian white at £5.99, and an excellent Valpolicella Ripasso at £7.99.

nothing to get excited about but i quite like the rough scpttish oatcakes . other members of the family are quite taken with them. lovely with some soft cheese , pickle and chilli sauce.

They are very nice.

In soup news, the tomato, creme fraiche and basil soups are great as either soup or a pasta sauce. Just add a few prawns and scattering of feta. Lovely

I have to agree, their Ripasso is excellent value - Thanks for the heads-up, just off out to get some

Can you remember the name of the Sicilian?

I'm shopping at Lidl in the morning and I will try to remember to get these.

Sod's law says that I will read this post tomorrow evening and go "Sod it, I forgot".

Lidl have an excellent Crianza in at the moment 'Carles' DOQ Priorat, a Gold medal winner and under £6 I think. So nice I popped back in last week and picked up another 6....

Edited to add some reviews I just drag out of Google....

I noticed this in the shop yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get any. I'll get a couple next week.
