I've done my part and bought 4 today I love this and the rum-infused beer. Just needs the appropriate snifter/gogblet/chalice glass.

I have many glasses, but nothing palm so brought out my faithful Cambrinus glasses from the bar in bruges.

Aldi don't do delivery on beer do they? just wine? it's real shame. I will happily stock up on this beer along with the other wines, enough to last me for autumn/winter. so I don't have to keep cycling there every few days.

Has anyone managed to grab one of these from Aldi?

Fail!

Not a nice experience all round, so many things to wind me up, idiot parking (just put the car in the middle of the space), pallets of stock all over the place creating an obstacle course, stock shortages, several items on my list I couldn't get, plus I was told off by a member of staff for ramming the trolley of a selfish, unaware, inconsiderate, oblivious aisle blocker that I'd put a fair bit of effort into facilitating a clear route through a pinch point for and then waited for an age for them to come through, eventually I ran out of patience and shoved through. I unpack at home and find the usual bit of rotten produce too. Time to return to my local Morrisons I think, Lidl is just too much trouble for little gain at the moment, it seems to be costing more and more, and no decent steaks!

I think you're just your own worst enemy, Balmoral. You've gone full Meldrew.

You may be right. But one of those mornings, when many things frustrate, seemingly always with other people as the catalyst. Such is life.

i've bought some. how do you (or everyone else) cook their liver? what do you cook it with, what do you have it with? I've never made liver before.

I might cook it up with some onions and peppers. chuck it into one of the sourdough part-baked baguettes

I'll have to look out for the blue one then!

It's either Rob or Robby. Historically I'm Robby, my oldest friends call me such, and it's what I introduce myself as. Much like if you're David you inevitably become Dave the same applies to me, so to many I'm Rob.

Liver roll it in flour fry it up with onions and bacon lardons , knock up some bistro gravy with the juice enjoy .,if not on low carb like me mix some packet smash potatoe up ,tasty as fk dirty cheap meal

[21TonyK]

My local was sold out of liver will try again today.

As for cooking? Pre-cook thick cut smoked streaky bacon and put to one side.

Sweat down and then caramelise loads of thinly sliced white onions and again put to one side.

Cut liver into inch wide strips about 1/4" thick, lightly flour, flash fry (v.hot). No more than 30-45 seconds a side and remove. Deglaze with marsala and beef stock, add onions and bacon back in, reduce to your preferred consistency then add the liver back in and serve immediately with buttery mash and savoy cabbage.

Liver must be pink.

(Thats Saturday night dinner sorted!)

If you haven’t seen the Aldi 30 years old tweets then it’s worth checking out

Funny stuff and a pretty inspired bit of marketing!
