The Irish cream liquer cheesecake is lovely aswell.

Their Organic salmon and Deluxe organic porridge wafer flakes are really very good.

I did not like the porridge at all, its not a patch on Aldi Kavanagh's organic.

Just in from shopping and LIDL have a new line; ready made sandwiches for E1.29... I have had them from dealz for E1.50 which is far less than eg tesco. LIDLs are on sturdy wholemeal bread and very tasty . I had the chicken and stuffing .

Graces7 · 06-01-2017 5:19pm

LIDL also have a constant supply of litre packs of long life milk. I have and will rely ion this more and more as I cannot get out very often now, Last winter it was very hard to find...

Snap.

Just in from Lidl as well. The town was absolutely chokker, not hekped by a collision on the main road in.

The two of us snorked a chicken and stuffing sandwich in the car - very pleasant. Didn't even realise it was a new line.

Was delighted to pick a Stollen reduced to about a euro.

Plus

Lidl's "Low GI Multiseed Cob" €1.89, made a lovely companion to their Mackeral fillets for a quick, tasty tea.

The pie is meant to be a cheesy mustard mash. Should have chedder in the description on the back

I was curious to see if people liked it as much as i do... (Its my sister's recipe :pac: )
And i know it doesn't say you CAN freeze it but i have it on very good authority it can be. I've done it also and survived. But don't risk it if ye don't want to

Nekarsulm · 06-01-2017 8:20pm

Very low level of mustard on the mash, in my opinion. More a colourant than any discernable test. Like them otherwise.

heldel00 · 06-01-2017 9:03pm

They are beautiful. A real winner in this house. I knew when I looked at them that they would freeze well so I plan on stocking up. Lidl can be so hit and miss with things disappearing, never to be restocked so I really hope this doesn't go the same way.

sammyjo90 · 06-01-2017 9:40pm

If it sells well for the year they can decide to keep it stocked.
So keep buying it

Thargor · 06-01-2017 9:48pm

Ive overdosed on it now and gone completely off it, Ill go back to it next Winter.

Tell her well done and we're all bigging up her pie on here

sammyjo90 · 06-01-2017 10:20pm

Haha will do. Im glad most of ye like it!

I must say it was quite surprising how much beef is in the shop one! Was thinking it was gonna be a bit measley

Harry Angstrom · 06-01-2017 10:33pm

Had one last week and was disappointed with the paucity of vegetables. I only counted a few peas, and carrots were non-existent. Other than that, it was very tasty and very filling. Potato was very nice for a chilled product. Congrats to your sister for winning.

heldel00 · 06-01-2017 10:46pm

^^^ what he said. Definitely more veg would be nice.

Paucity is a word we don't use enough Harry, thanks for reminding me of it!
I picked up one of the Deluxe chocolate covered nut and fruit selections this evening, left over from Christmas. Goooorgeous. And the little (plastic) metallic scoop thing is cute too (I can state now with authority that I will never use the thing but it remains adorable!).
Multi-seed roll from the bakery was lovely too.
Mmmm carbs.

sammyjo90 · 06-01-2017 10:53pm

Thats very true,
Im guessing the company making it are trying to deliver on the beef more.
id take less veg over less beef any day though!

Havnt been to lidl in a while..there isnt one where i am and its a good thing too because i love those mousse chocolate sticks!

dudara · 06-01-2017 11:40pm

I picked up the macarons after Christmas when they were reduced to €2. Very decent for the price.

The Deluxe brandy butter in the glass jar is excellent as is the gluten-free White chocolate & cranberry cookies

Another vote for more veg here! I found the pie quite rich/heavy. But I wasn't starving hungry.

And maybe I got a rogue one, but I found the mash quite sharp - would prefer it to be more cheesy and less mustardy.

Will definitely try another one on a hungrier day though, and see how I find it!

Well done to your sis.

And feck you anyway for reminding me of the mousse sticks

sammyjo90 · 07-01-2017 12:14am

they don't seem to be very consistent so because my next door neighbour said his first one was very salty, next one was perfect.

haha sorry

Thay had a sign up to that effect. I had been in dealz intending to treat myself to a sandwich but they had not had the delivery yet so it was great to find the LIDL at a lower price too, Mine was chicken and stuffing too!

SB_Part2 · 07-01-2017 11:50am

The first brisket pie I had was absolutely gorgeous. The second one was not and I'm not sure I'd purchase again as I binned most of it.

vicwatson · 07-01-2017 1:45pm

Had that Deluxe Chicken, Beechwood bacon and leek pie the other night, absolutely delicious

Conor Bourke · 07-01-2017 1:52pm

The Deluxe tiramisu is quite nice, love the low gi muliseed loaf too but by far my favourite Lidl product is the paprika flavoured Cristina Croc crisps. They hardly ever seem to have them though, so when I see them, I buy two or three bags with the intention of keeping them but end up scoffing them all. They're addictive

cbreeze · 07-01-2017 2:20pm

I try to grab the Italiamo four cheese sauce jars when they are in. The sauce is great for making carbonara, with either ham or the Lidl smoked salmon. As it is very thick it can be stretched with milk to go further.

Yum!:)
