Aldi hunter hot dogs 99p and sometimes 1.99 for massive ones if they have them in.

No mechanicaly seperated chicken in them, the only ones I can find in any supermarket that hasnt got any of that gunk in them.

All i buy from them though lol

no nutritional value whatsoever in hot dogs

So what if they arnt full of nutrition they are a quick lunch and tasty with tommy sauce on, was just saying the dont have blasted off chicken in them.

4 diferent brands in Tesco's all have mechanically seperated chicken in them, even the most expensive ones.

Vegetables are to go alongside main dinner on an evening.

I bet you ask for extra salad on a kebab after 10 pints as well.

;-P

Salad?? I'm a Northerner so the closest i get to salad is cheese and onion crisps..

i used to teach in a biscuit/cake factory which shall remain nameless. On my first day there they took me round the factory floor and showed me all the conveyor belts, etc. The end of each belt forked into two, and I naturally asked why.
I was told (had always suspected it too) that the biscuits going down the right fork were for Aldi, Lidl and Netto. Same biscuits, no difference in taste, just a different wrapper. This was a German biscuit factory though, might be different in the UK.

the yoghurts in lidl can be quite nice, there is a new range out called west cork indulgence ,they have some nice zesty lemon and some rhubarb stuff that actually has rhubarb in it.
The crisps and meat are the only things I wouldn't get from Aldi or Lidl on a regular basis<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:53 pm --<br /><br />

Do my main shop at asda. Then every weekend go to chorlton and get proper meat, fruit&veg and fish mostly for around about the same price. Would never by these foods from any supermarket.

I never buy food from lidl or Aldi for one very simple reason...i intend to eat it.
Buy all my grub from M&S.
A word of warning,a lot of supermarkets are now sourcing there chicken from Thailand,beware chicken from Thailand it's fucking Z list Quality.

I like that one but I also like this one



I'm really getting disullutioned by the Aldi/Lidl brand as the months pass by and thinking of migrating back to Tesco.

We have just returned from an expedition to the English Lakes and needed feeding and all there remained in our freeezer was a pack of Aldi cod fish in batter advertising 100% fish fillet on the front of the box.

I love Cod, truly I do, but these were square pants, and after cleaning up the plates decided to read the box contents in detail as I know my fish, having spent many years at sea.

Imagine my dismay when I read it was only 52% cod and whatever other salt dwelling amoebic shite they decided to blend in with it. How do they get away with this on a legal footing. Lidl do the same, a clear excercise in deciept, lies and untruth.

I was a big advocate of the above discounters but so many of their produce is now becoming inedible. Crackers that taste of dust, rice pudding with the consisitancy of pish, peas that are beyond the dreadful, margarine that can not hold consistency, Holly Lane cakes with the worst being their apple pies that hold little in the way of an apple etc etc etc.

I have an idea that these mini beheamoths of the discount world are piling on the pressure to suppliers for ever cheaper food, and quite franky something has to give and it's looking like it's the ingrediants thats suffering.

There are still some decent products such as the seeded bread and some of their beer and wine and the fruit and veg and some of the meat and low fat mince ..but not enough to warrant a full shop.

Thoughts ?
