Delicious.

Tried the greens one - two very generous servings. Slightly minty, very nice. Can’t remember the contents details, but I think they were mostly good, as otherwise I would have left it on the shelf!

Any aldis have bread?

prodsc

No bread, very little fruit, veg, meat and milk in Sligo at 3.30!

Say they will be better prepared tomorrow!

They did have the Thai Carrot Soup.

Am out until next trip. But as others have said they are healthy, I was surprised at how tasty they were.

Picked up a bottle of this organic Pinot Grigio a few days ago. Lovely bottle of wine!

Rumour has it that organic prosecco has anti hangover effects. Can you confirm?

Why???

I got in from a 50-hour trip home from abroad at 2pm on Thursday, called in to my local Aldi on the way home 2 hours before the big lockdown - and I have to say it was a pleasure! Shop fully stocked with everything - including fresh and packaged bread! and milk! (I was returning to a completely empty fridge and was seriously afraid I wouldn't get them) - and hardly anyone there. If only every shopping day could be like that

One of my purchases was Spicy Sweet Potato soup, and I am happy to report that it was delicious

I cannot confirm because the other five or six bottles were not organic.

I think it probably related to staff having to travel through bad conditions to get to work in some cases etc. when some other business, schools etc were closed.

I am looking got some help. I've been drinking Aldis Ghost Vines Zinfandel for the last few months. It what's really ticked all my boxes for a red wine.

Those of you with a more varied experience of red wine can you recommend anything similar?

Specially selected West Country cheddar and Chilli Jam. Really nice crisps, nice flavor. There is a salt n vinegar variety aswell.

The Ghost Vines is a Californian red, so you might like this one, Apothic, while it is a blend it is very drinkable and anyone I recommend it to seems to love it. I’ve linked to the Tesco.uk site because it has loads of positive reviews.
It is often on offer for €10 (reduced from €15) in Tesco.

I’m no expert but I liked (and miss) the Ghost Vines too, and like this one!

Over in the UK, do love the fact every time I pop in after work is when they seem to stick the 50% stickers on. The freezer is getting full, 75p a burger.

In the interests of research and any followers of this thread, I had another bottle of that Organic Pinot Grigio last night to see if the hangover was any different to a normal bottle. :rolleyes:

I can confirm that the hangover is indeed milder than normal. I also slept better than I would after downing a bottle. Hmmm. Might need to try it again to see if last night was a freak.

Definitely, do a proper scientific research

I ate some meatballs from Aldi last night, they came in a foil cooking tray type packet with some sauce in a seperate packet (can't remember exactly but it might have been Smokey chilli or something)

Delicious I'd have no problem recommending them or buying again.

Yup, you should expand your research into their organic red - Toro Loco Organico

Invite friends round and have an organic wine dinner party. Then we could all compare hangovers in the morning. That’s pretty scientific, isn’t it?

It's known as wine flu in our house.

Tried the sweet potato burgers as mentioned here and I liked them nice for a change versus frozen veggie burgers; thanks the poster for alerting the products existence

Picked up a 6-pack of Karlskrone lager today for €4.50 and we're very impressed with it.
I thought it was going to be either bitter or bland but it's really nice.
Kind of like a smoother Carlsberg and really fresh tasting.
Definitely will get this again.

Grainne's Whiskey Fruit Loaf, for €1.49, is DIVINE.
Had a slice today with butter and I could have eaten the entire thing. Rich and full of fruit, it reminded me of Christmas cake but not as heavy.
