Wish I’d done this before I trekked out trying to find the stand mixer!
Sorry, I managed to get a Pink one and a Pink Batter Jug and Bowl well my friend did it was cheaper than the stainless steel bowl I bought for my Kenwood Chef I have heard good things about the mixers, hope you manage to get hold of one

Has anyone seen the video of Michael Barrymore trying the new pickle items from KFC in his car? 🤣 I'm fairly new to tiktok, but Michael Barrymore is one of the main people they try to push on my fyp (not sure what that says about me 🤣)

The Pepsi isn't pickled flavour - its just a regular Pepsi max and they give you a little tub of pickle juice to add yourself 😅

I never got the KFC in the end yesterday as my fridge needs to be cleared out but the reviews on Instagram seem rather hit and miss. Will still give it a go though but maybe not the loaded chips.

Made a cockup in Aldi on Monday - bought chopped tomatoes with herbs instead of plain chopped tomatoes, didn't matter as I was making cottage pie but made me wonder what extras were in there. Nothing except for dried herbs but they were 69p instead of 49p. 20p for them to shove a few dried herbs in them. Won't make that mistake again.

The price difference between the 2 only used to be 2-3p. I'd not bought any for ages (had loads in the cupboard to use up) and when I looked last week I saw it was a 20p price difference so got the cheaper ones.

Not my photo but these are very good if you really like Lidl's brioche. As a chocolate croissant though, it didn't work for me.

Does Aldi UK have biscoff cream filled mini Easter eggs?
They're so good. We might have demolished a whole bag in 2 days and I may have bought a second one today 😋
Highly recommend if you can get them in the UK.

I was disappointed when I picked one of these up the last time they were out. However, I saw on their online leaflet that there’s a pistachio version coming out so obviously I need to test that one to make sure I’m not a fan 😂

Makes sense. One should always be positive they're not keen on something 😅

@Michi I'll have a look next time but may need to go to a bigger branch.

The Caramel Suisse is possibly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had from Lidl bakery 🤢 the caramel filling had the texture of set slime and the pastry was rubbery. Vile.

Lidl are doing really nice Strawberries, 1kg crate for just over £5, great value as their small 227g tubs are around £2.40.
Will be eating them for days 😬

I just came here to say I tried the caramel suisse morning and I thought it was alright 😅 the outer layers of pastry were crisp and flaky and I thought the caramel was just like a regular gooey caramel texture 🤷🏽‍♀️ certainly had worse things.

Mine seemed either under baked or like it had been sat out for ages - or both. Perhaps a fresher one would have been nicer but the one I had was absolutely gross haha
