Good to know! (And good to have an excuse to polish it off in one sitting)

There's only me to eat it, and the danger of me actually scoffing the lot in one sitting is fairly high if it's as nice as it sounds!
I've kept mine in the fridge since I bought it, and it's still good today. (2 days since we bought it)

We bought a lovely apple cake there yesterday. I think it's called Graínne's? It's in a rectangular box..it's nicely filling (quite heavy) and is moist which I find unusual for a pre-packed cake. Lovely apple pieces in it, and a nice sugary coating on the top, without being too sweet. We've half it gone already
Can't post pic but here is a link that shows it

Got this today - and very disappointed!
A few of us tried it, and it was nice enough madeira cake, if a teeny bit stodgy - but not a single piece of apple was found by anyone in it, and I thought there was a slightly artificial taste off it.
In fairness, it was up against a homemade lemon drizzle cake, which was always going to be an unfair contest - but I won't be buying it again.0 -

Oh that's mad..maybe mine had your apple in it too I'll have to try another for completion! 0 -

We'd a lovely sweet chilli chicken pizza yesterday from Aldi. Now, it is on the sweet side, but there's a nice kick too, and the peppers and red onion on it are lovely. Added a bit of our own cheese as their cheese topping seemed sparse enough 0 -

Dunnes one is much better. :eek::oI got the Bramwells after seeing that post (I also got Dunnes own brand by accident thinking it was McDonnells one), and had it tonight, I wasn't expecting the sweet taste that I got initially (got used to it), but i thought it was nice
I haven't tried any of those curry powders before, so I can't compare the Lidl, Dunnes, McDonnells etc..
But am happy I got it
I don't really use them that often, hence the gap in between posts. But the Dunnes one is much better - unanimous vote tonight in this house.
The only other one I have left to try, is the McDonnells Chinese Curry, which may be a while before I have it.0 -

Might be too late now but I'd recommend making your own with the aldi products.
The pack of 2, stone baked pizza bases in the fridge.
Pizza sauce in the same section as all the tomato products.
A miserly sprinkle of the grated mozzarella.
Some of the real mozzarella, thinly sliced and scattered over.
Whatever else you like.
We have these every few weeks and they're easily the best pizza we've ever cooked at home. The oven takes longer to heat up than it does to make the 2 of them.
+1 for these bases, and the equivalent is twice the price elsewhere. Good for using up leftovers too if there's a bit of chicken needs using up etc. We keep a bag of frozen peppers in the freezer (69c in Lidl but I'm sure Aldi have equivalent) and they're lovely thrown onto it 0 -
