The ones with the dried spices in the plastic cap are great - quite hard to get though so when I see them I get a couple. Haven’t tried the all-in-one jars.

I have a jar of the all in one sauce I was looking for the dried spice but there was none there last night

Spicy Bean Burgers are great, like really good, nicest meat substitute I ever had.

Lovely.
I actually never tried the ordinary veggie burgers, as these are so nice.
Anyone try both?

I prefer the bean burgers but my fave meat free thing they sell is the fresh beetroot burger. They're fab.

If like them and you're near an Iceland try their "nacho burger". It's not healthy by any means. In a bun with mashed avocado and chopped tomato. Really lovey for a treat.

Iceland have No Bull Burgers, they're amazing, the best veggie (well actually vegan) burgers I've tried.

Pick up a can of coconut milk and a packet of curry powder, whatever one you like. Pour the can into a saucepan, put in some curry powder and heat. Add more powder if needed. Literally takes 2/3 mins and is nicer than any packet you'll find.
If I'm camping I'll make this and use the sliced chicken breast from the fridge to save me cooking that, the tikka breast is lovely in it. Really easy and quick.

Christ the 'Grainne's Apple Danish Pastries' (€1.25 for two) are addictive.
Absolutely amazing.

Haven't tried those, but Grainne's fruit brack thingy is lovely.

They look and cook great but I find them tasteless. You needs lots of toppings to disguise it. I prefer the taste of quorn burgers.

freshpopcorn · 03-08-2018 6:21pm

Quick question are those Iceland veggie burgers a vergie burger or one of these fake meat things such as quorn?

If it's the "No Bull" burgers you're asking about, they're a textured soya protein meat style burger.

Iceland also do a smoky bean burger as part of their Slimming World range. They're okay but I prefer Aldi's.

Thanks, I'm not into these but I know somebody who does and was going to recommend but I thought it was more of a standard frozen veggie burger.

They've got a couple of those Curry kits in again as specials, a Keralan and a Goan one. Had the Goan one tonight with fish and prawns, and it was excellent. You get a little bag of whole spices, a sachet of paste and another of sauce. Whole thing was ready in around 10 minutes.

They've been repackaged (badly imo - hard to distinguish these from the veggie burgers and the cheese & onion ones now)

thesandeman · 07-08-2018 9:21pm

What are the spicy bean burgers like compared to the LIDL version? I find those ones lovely.

I think it’s lovely. Handy quick meal after work. Especially for the kids.

inforfun · 08-08-2018 11:56am

Your kids work?

Was a fan of the Asian ready meal, the 800 gr boxes. Especialy the nasi and bami goreng.
Had 2 meals form 1 box but always felt a bit too full.
Saw the 325 gr fried rice and tried that. While the big boxes do have a bit more stuff other then rice in it, these smaller boxes work well as a base for a nice Asian meal.
Add meat and stir fried veggies and egg and some sauce (like the satay sauce i once posted here) and off you go.

There is also a pilau version

In the black box from the chill cabinet?
The wholegrain rice and grains microwave bags are lovely mixed with a bit of stir fried veg for a quick vegetarian meal.

Has any found cream from Aldi going sour well before its use by date? Not sure is it an issue with my fridge or the cream, although fridge seems cold enough and haven't had other issues. I had cream that was out on the 18.08 last night and was almost sick after tasting it

Aldi... what do you recommend?
