Has anyone seen (or bought) the lemon pesto in Aldi from the Italian special buys? I really fancy it but haven’t been successful yet
 
I feel like it just won’t measure up at all to a thermomix. They are pretty elite !
I'll be completely honest here..


I never heard of a thermomix until Lidl brought their one out and people start comparing it to it.

Even if I wanted one. I wouldn't pay €500 for the Lidl one...

Nor me. A friend has had the real one for years and uses it all the time but a bit too late for me.

I’ve used my friend’s one but only once for simple wsighing,chopping, then mixing the ingredients so have no real idea of how it functions in its multi cooker capacity. However, I shan’t be buying this at that price even though I accept it is a great price (if it proved to be on a par with the original).

Unless the weight is critical, like a cake that wouldn't rise, I never weigh anything. Can't imagine the faff of cooking that way. I'm old, obvs.

Just bought the Matcha Latte Original and Strawberry drinks in Aldi and I like it. Didn't know it was a TicTok thing until I googled about this one as it contains sugar but it is not over sweet. Contains no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.
I don't drink black tea or coffee so this is another drink to add to the flavoured tea and hot chocolate I usually drink.
They are £1.49 for 6 sachets, about half the price of the M & S ones I usually buy.
Got mag for 21st August and there are lots of Lacura goodies including the lip oil I have been waiting for. https://www.aldi.co.uk/special-buys/2025-08-21

I don't have the urge to binge them so have managed to eke the one bag out.

Maybe they're a healthy crisp? 🤔😋

My recent packet doesn't look like them - it was a blue packet made by Cucina?

Sounds like they might return regularly, as looks like from this they were available in March previously:

The Co-op have garlic bread tortilla chips, if the German shops aren't too close. Good flavour on them.

Does anyone remember those phileas fogg mignons morceaux? I remember enjoying them very much while watching Dogtanian and the muskehounds.
