Off to Lidl soon, just for basics (mushrooms, parsley, green pepper, red pepper flakes). And cake.

Their halloumi is lovely, touch of mint in it.

They have a discount on frozen scampi, is it any good?
 
This is also a wonderful WA dupe, if you can find it. Chassaux Et Fils Atlantique at Aldi.

Lidi have their Spanish range in. Got a few packets of the gamin crisps…. Just like ruffles ! Might have to get some more!

I got their version of Bugle crisps - queso y jamon

Also jars of chickpeas.
Oh are the chickpeas nice?

I tried the Victoria sponge muffin yesterday and recommend

I love the gazpacho for Spanish week and have been dying to try the mandarin and cream choux buns in frozen and they're in, none were stocked last time. There's a huge fan of the fried onion tomato sauce on this thread! It is very nice.

The choux buns with the Catalan creme in are delish if they are part of the range this time, I don't think I liked the mandarin ones quite so much.

@chickhicks86 yes it's the mandarin ones which I was eyeing up; haven't seen the catalan creme ones.

Just cooking lunch but at 3pm I'll check the wares before they shut!

The jars of Spanish chickpeas are much nicer than canned one.
I bought a bottle of Rose from Aldi last week and it was nasty - it has a blue label and says Portugal or Portugese in large letters, holiday looking label. Leave it on the shelf.

Didn't see those just the gazpacho ones and they were a huge let down . Need to look again.

I got 1 packet of them and 2 Jamon! Need to get more when I go In next.

Same! Always bring some home.
Am I mad or did they used to be called jamon, jamon? For some reason we always refer to them twice!!

"Let's go get some jamon, jamon from the hyper dino" .

Has anyone tried the smash burgers from Aldi? I do not recommend, they were awful and really cheap tasting

Where these the thin patty type burgers? I agree. Sooo much fat for such a thin burger and actually all I could smell was lamb fat when cooking them, I didn’t eat them though I gave them to my husband and child as they looked too greasy for me!
