Discussion

is this king kebab thing only sold at aldi? can't seem to spot it in lidl.
also. lidl are doing deals as oktoberfest is coming up. so beers. lownbrau, festbier. any of their beers good?
If it's full strength Lowenbrau then it is delicious and probably my favourite lager. But they also do a 3.5% one which is good for all day drinking at a BBQ but if it's your only beer of the evening can leave you feeling a little bit short changed.also. lidl are doing deals as oktoberfest is coming up. so beers. lownbrau, festbier. any of their beers good?

We tried these tonight as a “meat free” meal (despite both me and the missus being committed carnivores 
)
Noting the fat content I did them with broccoletti (broccoli pan fried with sliced garlic and chilli).
Both versions were deemed to be tasty

The root veg crisps with sea salt go very well with the German pilsner in the 500ml cans. Not the bottles. £2.99 for 4 good value.
The beetroot crisps are particularly delicious.
The Rheinbacher cans? Quite nice with salted cashew nuts. I thought they weren't all that until a poster on here suggested to drink them only slightly chilled instead of ice cold, and it was a revelation!The beetroot crisps are particularly delicious.

Large Mixed cured meats platter in the posh range at Lidl currently 79p. Very long dates on them so worth stocking up.
I think these are part of the weekend offers so only available today and tomorrow. I always look out for the half price stuff and make a point of stocking up. However quite often a product doesn’t arrive in store and annoyingly they don’t offer an alternative. Gretchen said:

thanks for the info. although when you think about it being 100g, it doesn't seem like much. that said I've bought myself 4 packets, and 10 cans of hte festbier, 5regular, and 5 weisbiers. i hope they taste good.

Four items each weekend are on offer up to half price. Scotland often has a different fourth item. Usually a maximum of 6 per customer, there are two Lidl’s in my nearest town and the offers are valid Saturday and Sunday. Worth checking the back of the in-store magazine or online each week.
thanks for the info guys, much appriciated.. sooner or later ill be a regular. (i used to go there for the freeway versions of pepsi max, but they dont seem to sell them anymore).
i've been also drinking the festbier weis tonight. very tasty, 99p for the 500ml and doesn't taste much different to hoeegarden (which much more expensive). worth a go.

might have a look. thing is i need a fresh bread that i can take home at the end of the day, butter the next day and cover with whatever ham/cured meats. and it not be dry by lunchtime. ambuletz said:

Best avoid bread from the in-store bakery (of any supermarket) then. Unless it's baked on the premises, anything which was frozen and then 'baked off' doesn't last much longer than 6-8 hours.
