ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?
Discussion
Living in NE Wales, my local Aldi’s support local suppliers and as such tend to stock the basic Edward’s of Conwy pork sausages, which are my usual ‘go to’ for a FEB.
I picked these up the other day, as ‘my usual’ were date limited to the day of purchase.
Never again, they’re crap.
Excessive fat leakage, meant they were swimming in an inch of liquid whilst cooking, they lacked flavour and had bits of gristle in, universally rejected by all four in my house.
To rub it in, are the same price as my usual choice.....

To close out the complain here is Aldi’s response.

Just had some of this.
https://www.aldipresscentre.co.uk/product-news/ald...
Bought today reduced from £9.99 to £3something.
Bloody hell it's lovely (don't feed the children it, they'll get pissed!)
Spotted this today, was also reduced in our local store - only one in the house that eats Christmas pudding so didn't bother but if its a good as you say then I may have to take one for the team and give it a go https://www.aldipresscentre.co.uk/product-news/ald...

Always found Aldi puds to stay moist, previous ones from other places tended to get a bit dry.

Twisted Tree Cider and H Westons also today, haven’t noticed them before. Also a bottle of white Rioja as a bit of a gamble
The lidl vintage cider is made by westons but isnt quite as strong as the proper westons vintage (7.3% to 8.4%) but i really like the taste and its very easy to drink.Yabu said:

The Aldi Worcester sauce doesn't have a nozzle thingy, it's just an open bottle, how fecking stupid is that?! 
Bramwells one? Got a bottle in the cupboard that has the nozzle, yours is either stuck inside the lid or you have been unlucky and it’s missing.21st Century Man said:
Thanks. I just checked and there's not one in the lid, must be just missing. Hopefully a one off, it's almost impossible to put a splash or two on stuff rather than half the bottle at once.
cap off, thumb over opening. control amount by lifting thumb slightly off. like you see tv chefs do when they drizzle a bottle of oil or vinegar over saladGassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
