I don’t get the excitement...not exactly the hardest thing to make and the recipe is self contained explanatory
Anything to do with Halloumi or avocados get the middleclass moist.Wine question - I'm about to give up booze for a month from Sunday, so will be getting a bottle of red to polish off over the next few days.
As it will be my 'last supper' for a while I thought I'd blow the budget and go for an Aldi one up to £10.
Does anyone have any red recommendations for their pricier offerings?

Had one of these today. Oven cooked (microwave optional), served with a blob of vanilla ice cream.
Absolutely ace; sharpness of the apple countered the stickiness of the toffee perfectly.
Concur with this, very nice indeed. In addition to the good apple-toffee balance, the salt in the salted caramel is only just noticeable, which IMO is how it should be.Absolutely ace; sharpness of the apple countered the stickiness of the toffee perfectly.
Also, bagged some apple stollen bites. Managed to last almost 3 hours of intermittent grazing on the kitchen top before they ran out.
Still no chocolate stollen yet, but the Amarone is back on the seasonal shelves.

The violet creams are back in with the Christmas lines, so I bought some along with some new flavours pink gin and mint
Please try them this evening and post a review? I’ve offered to work a few hours tomorrow and will pop to Aldi after as it’s two mins from there. Didn't buy the pink gin or mint flavours, just thought I'd mention that new flavours had been added to the usual rose and orange creams.
Pink gin and chocolate just seems to my uneducated tastes to be two flavours which just shouldn't go together, hence perhaps they've dialled back the strength of the bitters.
Maybe I'm a just a heathen, it could be like salt and chocolate, sounds wrong initially, salt vs sweet, but it really does bring out something in the chocolate taste. Downside though is the tangential result that one get sick of seeing too much stuff adulterated with flaming salted caramel.

I'm going to add Aldi's new almond croissants to this list,delicious when warm. About £1.19 for two.
I found the almond filling very 'manufactured'; too much almond flavouring.The pain au raisins of that same new range are, IMHO, a tour de force. Very, very good, but do make sure they have at least 4 days left on the use by date.

Not quite what you asked but the last bottle of wine I had from Aldi made me want to give up wine so should help you no end!As it will be my 'last supper' for a while I thought I'd blow the budget and go for an Aldi one up to £10.

To be fair it was only £4.50 or so. Torro something
