Has anyone found the German beer crisps in Aldi? I want to get some for a Christmas hamper for my dad, but I've not found them in the 2 Aldis that I have tried - looked in the middle aisles and with the regular crisps.
my Aldi finally has the German and Indian crisps, they were in with the special buys!
ever since my store put the xmas/halloween food bits out the regular food special buys have been all over the place, like they don't know where to put them as they can't use the usual space or something

Can’t remember if I shared already but the Lidl Deluxe roasted garlic mayo is proper tasty. Just had some with lunch AGAIN.

I pass by a Lidls and Aldis on the way to, and from, my newly begun job. It feels slightly dangerous but also good, especially in the run up to Christmas 👀

Regarding wine at Lidl and Aldi.

If you go elsewhere, such as ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury's, the cheapest bottles of wine are now around £6 a bottle. They have one, or two priced below that, however it is not much of a selection and really is bottom of the barrel stuff.

If you go to Aldi and Lidl, you find plenty of different wines for under £6 a bottle. I've tried a fair few amd don't think they are bad at all.

The Chilean Pinot Noir in Lidl, for £4.29 a bottle isn't bad.

I remember when £6 was a fancy bottle! 😂

I did my shopping in Aldi earlier, and bought six bottles of wine because I have a habit of popping to Tesco express and buying something from their limited offering which can be £11 for something decent. I got six bottles in Aldi, I think the most expensive was just under a tenner and a couple of bottles were under a fiver. You know for £10 from Aldi you're getting something half decent.

I'm on this white at the moment while my fella (who only drinks red) is away, and it's really nice. Well worth £7.50. Tastes a touch sweeter and less acidic than I'm used to, and has a bit more depth.

I was in Lidl today and noticed The Stollen Bites £3.99 were nearly cleaned out, so I got one for insurance purposes. Might put it in the hamper I'm doing.
It has rum in it.
Stollen seems popular but panettone less so.
I've never had panettone. Not sure if it's worth trying one. 🤔

Panettone is beyond disappointing. Just like eating expensive Christmas flavoured cardboard. My Italian friends disagree but god it’s boring. I suppose it’s like beans on toast, or bread sauce - one of those things you live if you’re brought up by British parents but other nationalities are just like wtf, you like this WHY?

It just about alright if you toast it or make bread and butter pudding with it.

And then you might as well wait until after Christmas. That said, a good pistachio one, stuffed with cream, is delicious. Not sure if either German supermarkets will be getting those in though.

A Tattler recommended the Lidl chocolate one last year, so I picked that up for the hamper. Was wondering about getting myself one.
If I do I'll toast it and spread pistachio cream on it. 😁

Best chocolate marzipan thing in Lidl is the log. The plain one IMO is the best, avoid the pineapple, rum and raisin and any othe weird flavours. Just plain marzipan, 1.99

Is that the Stollen? I picked up a small Stollen based on a Tattle recommendation from last year.
Here's a picture of it:
