These are bloody lovely! Plus you get a free ceramic pot.
The salted caramel one was better. I wouldn't rave as much as you.
I bought one on your recommendation and have just eaten it.
Was very disappointed. It was very similar to a creamy milk chocolate pudding, didn't even notice there was orange in there.
Waste of £1.25...excepting it does have a 10p ceramic pot that you can use as a butter dish.

16oz is definitely enough to share. You really should've shared frown

Keep up at the back.

(Does this mean the invite is revoked?)


Just went to Aldi to buy 58 pizzas to try out my new pizza oven and there's still no Big Boy Steak!

No. They were a single drop line. WIGIG.

I posted the date in here a while back. Was hoping there might still be some but I went on the original Thursday and my local didn't have any then either.

I only ever go to Aldi at 8am. Avoids the unwashed and ensures that I get first dibs on fresh foods and offers.

I think you're lying, I've seen the photos of people camped outside ALDI since the crack of dawn waiting for these specials.

Ha! No, I'm not one of them. I just mean 'normal' offers.

Unfortunately, unlike yourself, I'm not a lady what lunches, some of us have to be in work at this time wink

Stuffed Crust and Deep Pan Pizzas don't work as well as Thin & Crispy in an outdoor Pizza Oven. Especially after several drinks.

As our new resident Aldi desert critic, can you try the Aldi Specially Selected Salted Caramel and Praline Ice Cream, as I like that one smile

It's a orange/gold ish colour round tub in the freezer. Often you have to dig down amongst the other flavours to find one as seems a popular item.

Your tastes are not similar to mine.
I prefer dark chocolate with a high cocoa content.

yes It's the New Yorker.

These were all from Aldi - I'm not/wasn't a big fan of Pizza - until today - the Pizza Oven and stone make such a difference and cooking in the garden is always fun. I didn't know what to buy so I bought them all! The top two were the biggest hits.

thats a nice pile of pizza!

some on a previous page mentioned the belgian beer ham....its lovely, i dont bother with bread and just eat it straight from the pack like an animal!

A rare fail from me yesterday with the specially selected hoisin suasages in the meat special buys, bland and the casings are awful, thick and stringy, just get stuck in your teeth and you almost have to peel them off to eat the rest.

But you missed the 'Sloppy Joe'

That one is awesome - I mentioned it a few pages back, thin crust too - just needs a bit of extra pepper adding and an additional handful of cheese on top.
