Tesco's, the highest quality mince you can buy?
Tesco buy all the best meat?
Tesco beef sold as 'the world's premium beef'? Not even Argentinean is sold as the world's premium beef.
NI beef is very fatty , which is why it's so good?
% fat indicator is not a quality guide?

Anecdotally, some time ago we had some Irish beef from Tesco, very poor.

No, I haven't read it back, especially since you haven't read it either, at least within the correct context.Tesco buy all the best meat?

Maybe you should read it again and come back with what bits you think I've got wrong.

So you've had Irish beef and it was poor. That is entirely possible, considering Irish suppliers were caught trading horse meat as beef before. We do have more than one farm over here though, so maybe you didn't get the good stuff

Now can we get back to popping into Lidl for some fresh bread and their lemon curd iced buns from the bakery and then having to explain to 'er indoors why we really needed a chain saw and a canoe.

Calamari & scampi from the fridge section was decent enough last night. Was expecting the squid to be tough as old boots but not at.

Err, that's rather more down to how you cook it, than who supplied it!....
Even squid at mutliple Aldi prices from F&M or Harrod's food hall will be rubbery if it's overcooked, eh.

I suppose you’re right, i just always expect the worst with their new lines, more often than not I’m surprised for the betterEven squid at mutliple Aldi prices from F&M or Harrod's food hall will be rubbery if it's overcooked, eh.
Loving the seafood bit in Lidl’s in Portugal. Prawns by the scoop full. Wine is disturbingly cheap even more so on the discount shelf - 99€ cents for a bottle.
Yes of course I bought some just to see.
I wasn’t allowed to buy any power tools as apparently a pillar drill would fit in the luggage. (Didn’t need to could have checked it separately and I’ve already got one but that’s not the point.)

Has anyone else tried the Aldi noodles? At 24p a pack (I think, might be 34p) they're not a bad but much cheaper alternative to a Pot Noodle. I've no idea whether they're good for you or nutritious (who cares?) but as a quick lunchtime 'filler' they'll do me.
The Aldi packet / sachet Cup noodles are pretty good - Chicken and Tomato & Herb. They just need a while to rehydrate in the mug (ideal with a bit of their malted bloomer, award winning bread).Not tried their actual 'Pot Noodle' (Not Poodle) shady alternative yet though if thats the one you mean.
