Finally managed to find and try the Aldi King Kebab.
Bloody good.
Have been watching these for weeks at our local Aldi, hadn’t found a good reason to buy one. Finally planned one in as a boys night in last week with some of their kebab wrap breads things, and you guessed it, they didn’t have any in stock.Bloody good.

I had really high hopes for this but can't recommend it.
It's very 'bready': the area of fold with no filling.
Which isn't a bad thing per se - it's a good sourdough base - but I'd definitely want a pot of salsa or something to dip it in.
So I struggled past the bready area (without a side dip) and then got to the filled part. And that wasn't great either. Quite cheap and nasty.

Food inflation is now kicking in. A lot of the stuff I buy at aldi is now noticabley up by 10pc or more.
Don't get me wrong, doesn't mean I won't buy what I want to buy, but must be grim for those who can't cut anything out.
Been noticing that for months everywhere. I run a store and I'm constantly changing prices upwards currently. Except cigarettes... we now have 2 brands dropped to £9 and a tobacco dropped from 13.90 to £10. Don't get me wrong, doesn't mean I won't buy what I want to buy, but must be grim for those who can't cut anything out.
It doesn't stop me either, I just moan and buy it anyway. Iv been stocking up on reduced stuff at the cash n carry anyway. Got 12 lamb chops for £4 yesterday, 2 big pork tenderloin for 1.60 odd each, a
Full turkey crown (both breasts no legs) for £4 and some beef stuff for steak pies for less than a fiver aswel. All because Scotland have these stupid restrictions on so places are quiet and its leaving stuff to get reduced. Mmmm that should offset some price rises for a bit. I permanently can get pork reduced to peanuts because its a predominantly Muslim cash and carry. More bargains for me!
Anyway back to aldi. I got a power rack online so waiting for that to be delivered and I'll update on its qaulity. (Yes not food but it is aldi...)

If anyone is looking for the excellent tiramisu Lidl/Aldi do on their Italian weeks, I'm pretty sure the coop one is the same thing.
I could destroy an entire one without a second thought if I was single...
On the subject of shared products. Aldi's small 'special' (Extra indulgent?) chocolate cake at £1.60 something is the very same cake as the Co-Op one at £3.20 something.I could destroy an entire one without a second thought if I was single...

It is a damn good cake, the carrot cake in the same range is also good as the extra holes in my belt can attest.

is that for the slightly more expensive one? or the cheaper one? I was looking for both last week, but could only spot 1 of them. Couldn't remember if the one i saw was the cheaper one or not.
Duoro is the dearer/slightly nicer one (£5.49) the other is/was just called 'Red'
