Aldi... what do you recommend?

Gloomtastic!

Finally got some of those frozen croissants, been looking for weeks but always just those choc au pains in stock.

Will report back in the morning.

They are really nice! Picked some up after reading about them here. "Baked" them in the Air fryer. Breakfast bliss!

Had to throw out two bags of food from the fridge-freezer thanks to Ophelia easily €100 worth.
Will be heading to Aldi to stock up on all the staples!

Aldi have mozzarella and sundried tomato chicken sausages. Very tasty for the low kcal and fat content . I hope it's not a once off product

I was looking for these yesterday evening, but couldn't see any in my local Aldi.

Where are they located does anyone know?

Had a Dexter Rib Eye yesterday

minute each side on a hot griddle pan, then into the oven for a medium rare finish. Rib Eye needs the extra cooking time to take it from rare to medium rare or even medium so you break down the connective and render the internal fat.

That was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Lovely and tender, juicy and flavoursome.

Ribeye is my favourite cut, totally different flavour but it needs correct cooking to get it right. Must pick up one of those in Aldi tomorrow.
I also have a heifer named Ribeye this year

They was only one packet left after I took two. They were with the super 6 in Galway anyways

Tis 6 bucks for the ribeye. I'll wait for the striploin/sirloin next week for €4. I did think the Dexter burgers was one of the best I've had in awhile

I have been enjoying the Aldi own brand GF pizza for about year but now they seem to have disappeared. I will be upset if this is a permanent change. I have tried other brands but their one was favourite.

Saw them in Super 6 section last week, weren't there today when I wanted them. I enquired about them and was told they were a one off delivery!!:mad:

Spotted some fresh turmeric on the veg shelves in my Aldi yesterday, near the garlic. I don't need any, nor am I quite sure what I'd do with it before it went off in the bottom of the fridge, but it's there if anyone wants any

I hear it's used a lot in burmese cookery, and that you should wear gloves when preparing it because it'll stain the heck out of everything it touches.

(I bought a bag of it years ago and then totally forgot about it :P )

Yep, they have it in store and yep.. it stains!!! My fingers are bright yellow and nothing will remove it!

Ground turmeric is bad enough when something containing it gets onto fingers, I imagine the fresh stuff is much worse.

Not just fingers, it stains EVERYTHING. There's still a yellow splodge on one of my mothers worktops from where I dropped a piece of turmeric on it years ago.

There mussels in white wine and paprika sauce are "savage served with spaghetti apparently.

(According to my eldest son)

It's absolutely lethal, stains everything. I do love the flavour though so I use it lots. It's supposed to be great for burns when combined with natural yogurt.

It makes a lovely marinade for chicks. When crushed and mixed with other spices and maybe some yogurt. Grill the chicken after marinating.

I was absent-mindedly looking at the container for their Sweet Potato soup (the most delicious one I think) when I noticed that the saturated fat content for 200g is 60% of the RDA!

Bearing in mind that 200g is half a pot, if you have the whole tub which I was going to do today (fills a bowl), it would have been 120% of recommended saturated fat!

Won't be buying it ever again.

WD-40 will reverse its stainage

How is that even possible? Do they make it with equal parts potato and butter or something?

I bought one...it's huge.I haven't used it yet and I think it will end up just taking up loads of space but used very seldom if ever.

Yeah, thinking of getting one for meal prep, so I dont waste time cooking and washing up. When did you get it?
