It's almost Xmas. That means Spekulatius spiced biscuits...

[TheHeretic]

... at Lidl. Friggin love these things. Could munch them all day!

[Gruffy]

Mmmm… that's got me thinking of Lidl's lebkuchen now.

[TheHeretic]

I am fettling in the log shed. I has my biccies and coffee.

Om nom.

[Gretchen]

I've recently introduced my colleagues at work to these. They approve.

My kids have always loved them too. Have a packet in the go at the moment. Great for just £1.39 for 600g.

Dipped in coffee... The best. I need to find someone who knows how to operate kitchen equipment to make a cheesecake with those as a base.

Oh yes. I'm a coffee dipper. Kids were told off last night for dipping in milk...along with their hands!

I'm liking the Cheesecake idea

Try a bag filled with biscuits and a rolling pin/wine bottle to crush them. Rest is easy.

we used to bring lebkuchen, printen, stollen, spekulatius etc back to the UK every xmas

then a few years ago everyone started saying "yeah, we get it at Aldi for a quid"

oh well, more room in the car for beer

[TheHeretic]

I have Lidl stollen too.

[Gretchen]

Oh no! I've had an accident... I've had to fetch a spoon. Just as I was lifting my biscuit out too...

It's in there







PS I like the Windmill ones best. They taste the nicest.

[TheHeretic]

Can you call FEMA?

[TheHeretic]

My butter-mandel-stollen. Om nom.

[bint]

I'm on my third pack in about as many weeks...... They are incredibly more ish.

I should buy some for MOH's biscuit tin at work, they like to observe the half life of certain biscuits, I reckon these would be on par with Jaffa cakes (not a biscuit I realise!) and not make it into the tin!

[CarTimeNow]

the mini stollen are evil and must be eaten to save others..... yes 2 coffees later and a full pack is gone :-|

Thanks to this thread we had a look at the Lidl Christmas magazines yesterday - looks like it's going to be a Lidl Christmas for us

[Dr G]

Just back from Belgium - similar Cinnamon biscuits (available everywhere) are dangerously likely to make me a fat, fat man.

mini stollen you say?!?!

Where can I find these evil critters? They must be purchased immediately.

I am now £129 lighter having filled a trolley with Lidl Christmas. Waiting was impossible, I'm into the Stem Ginger cookies already

£129 in Lidl...That's some going. Your not one of them doomsday preppers are you?

[Riley Blue]

Reindeer steak, venison, loads of cakes and biscuits - it soon mounts up, even in Lidl and especially if a bottle or two of whiskey is smuggled into the trolley (their malt is rather good)

[Gretchen]

My Lidl have some vouchers in at the moment for £5 off a £35 spend next week, courtesy of The Telegraph.

Just a heads up for those who are stocking up for Christmas.
