ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?
Discussion
And these crisps from Aldi are definitely better than the McCoys they're copying. All the thickness, ridgt-bits and good crunch, but much less greasy.
BUT!... they also do a six-pack of mixed meaty flavours: bacon, chicken etc. I couldn't get on with them; the flavourings repeated on me something chronic.

i always felt like lidl would be a good place for getting wine cheaply.
my usual tipple is beeer. but ive no idea how to get into wine. ill drink wine if given it, but dont know where to start in figuring out what ones i like.
To be honest, I think Lidl has gone downhill a bit on wine in recent years. You might find Aldi's customer ratings more useful, plus I note Aldi wines are cheaper.my usual tipple is beeer. but ive no idea how to get into wine. ill drink wine if given it, but dont know where to start in figuring out what ones i like.

Jump on Amazon and get a used copy of "World Atlas of Wine" don't worry if its 10+ years old it will introduce and demystify all the different countries, regions, grape varieties etcmy usual tipple is beeer. but ive no idea how to get into wine. ill drink wine if given it, but dont know where to start in figuring out what ones i like.
The just start buying a couple of different wines a week and make notes about what you think of them.
Within a few months you will know what you like and what you don't like.

Lidl version are just as good as McCoys too, all apart from Cheese & Onion for some reason. BUT!... they also do a six-pack of mixed meaty flavours: bacon, chicken etc. I couldn't get on with them; the flavourings repeated on me something chronic.
Went to ALDI a few days ago. The salt and vinegar crisp were cheap, but they were also very thin and too 'tangy', incorrect flavour constancy with flavour 'hot spots'. Picked up salami, the texture was greasy and soft, not used to that so that went in the bin, the beer was poor.
Sorry but ALDI's still a sh*t shop for poor people.

Scorpion Chilli Pigs in Blankets
Got a nice kick to them - going to freeze a couple of packets and enjoy a round of "Pigs in Blankets Roulette" mixing them in with some standard ones over Christmas.
Those sound great - is Ashfields Lidl or Aldi? I had a look in our Aldi but couldnt find them.Got a nice kick to them - going to freeze a couple of packets and enjoy a round of "Pigs in Blankets Roulette" mixing them in with some standard ones over Christmas.

They were in the temporary offers part of the meat section in the Cullompton Aldi.
Yeah, that's what I thought. We often have food mentioned in here, chilled or ambient, which people say they can't find. Inevitably because it's in the temporary lines area.Gretchen said:
Has anyone tried this?
I picked up a couple of bottles this week at £2.59 but haven’t opened yet. The reviews online are mixed but majority of the 1 stars are from people who were expecting Advocaat and someone who even tried to make a Snowball with it...
70cl @ 12% for only £2.59, I'm surprised the tramps haven't been all over this!I picked up a couple of bottles this week at £2.59 but haven’t opened yet.
