    Absolutely no problems with Aldi chickens here and I sometimes buy two a week (one for feline consumption).

    Lucky cat(s) :D. Mine gets cat food plus bits of meat when I'm cooking.

    I'm the servant of a very imperious old lady (I imagine she was a duchess in a previous incarnation) who is recovering from a major accident and needs special care and treats, hence the chicken.

    Thinking about it though, one small chicken goes a very long way and at Aldi's prices I'm not sure it works out a great deal more expensive to feed her chicken than the better class of tinned KittyGlop. I'm sure it's a lot better for her, too. As for the ginger wretch, well... how could I not feed it to him, too?

    Growing up, my mother came to the same conclusion and always bought cheap cuts of meat and fish which she cooked for the cats and dogs. They seemed to do well on it, too.

    I am seriously tempted to switch from cans. I don't eat (much) processed food, so why should the animals I care for?

    I noticed this in Aldi the other day:

    Coconut & Rapeseed Oil Spread.

    It apparently has a companion product: Avocado Oil Spread, but they didn't have any in stock.

    Anyone tried them?

    Heard something on Radio 5 about this in the last 2 or 3 days

    Apparently gram for gram it's healthier to eat LARD than coconut oil due to it fat content

    AIUI the type of fat is as important as the quantity.

    Lidl Oakland Strawberries, variety Sonata, shown as produced in Fife Scotland. Bought a couple of days ago.
    Sorry, don't have the price handy but it was a 400g punnet. Beautiful sweet strawberries, highly recommended!
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.

    I think they are sourcing some fresh products locally, as I quite often see Kent soft fruit & apples.

    I bought some Kentish Raspberries today (from Lidl) and they are delicious.

    Has been a fad for a while - stocked by several supermarkets. I know you shouldn't trust anything you read in the daily mail - but this article is from August 2016
