I had some of Aldi's frozen whitebait this evening (£1.99 and probably serves 3/4)
Thought it was very good, although larger than restaurant standard whitebait. I'll certainly buy again
We’ve had this tonight too, along with the Calamari (which I prefer) and some Creme Fraiche. All Aldi acquired and served several as a starter Thought it was very good, although larger than restaurant standard whitebait. I'll certainly buy again
Just forgot to pick up a Lemon. Lemon.

Had the garlic pizza bread from the chilled but with dinner last night, delicious!
The thin ones? 4 in a pack? They’re epic! Not much to shout about in mine today, ribeye for tomorrow and some of the cheddar burgers but that’s about itGretchen said:

I am gradually being won over by Aldi. G/F shops there a fair bit - mostly because she likes to stock up on cheap prosecco - and a few weeks ago we bought a cheap bottle of red wine (Rockstone Ridge merlot). I expected it to taste like vinegar, but it was absolutely lovely - really fruity and very nice to drink.
One of the nicest bottles of red I've had in a while in fact, and decided a week or so back to get another bottle. While I was there, I also picked up a smoky bbq beef pizza, and some fresh baked (but sliced) white bread.
Both were excellent - the pizza was gorgeous and I will definitely buy one of those again (unlike the Carlos pizza my g/f had the other day which looked utterly disgusting). And the bread was proper thickly sliced bread - perfect for toast in the morning, and something I've never managed to find at other supermarkets.

t out of Hong Kong!...Cheers for the heads up on the Blackbox of specially selected delight. We STILL haven't got the 'Enta Pizza' in our local Aldi yet, so I'm taking a trip to the next town for a look.

Lidl has 1.2 KG bags of espresso coffee beans for £8 - bought two
A known brand?We have a bean to cup at work on the understanding we provide our own beans and they're a bit meh, but they're cheap.
We actually find ourselves buying full trays of the Aldi 3/4 roast beans as for the money they're great.
