Aldi Squash - what recipes do you use?
Had the intention of buying a butternut squash to make soup, but saw the small squash for 39p. I have bought a green one and a yellow and green striped one. Before I cut into them, are they suitable for soup? Same consistency as bns or more watery? Less flavour? Would love to know how you all cook them!!

What are they?
I was in the market when I saw some green fruit about the size of gooseberries. So I bought some. Cooked them with a little sugar. Oh my, they are so sour! They have a single Central stone. I have no idea what they are - except that in their current state they are inedible. Any suggestions?

Best buys from Lidl?
We've recently moved and now live near enough to make an occasional expedition to Lidl worthwhile. What's your best buy tips that I could stock up on from there? I'm looking at household and dry goods and maybe dairy rather than meat or veg as we have a wonderful farm shop within a mile.

Aldi/Lidl Fruit and Veg
I'm quite a 'newcomer' to shopping at Aldi - less of a 'newcomer' Lidl - and I'm generally very happy with ordinary tea / coffee / tinned stuff / regular bread / fresh meat / dairy produce that I've bought there, BUT .................. am I the only person who is quite disappointed with their Fruit & Veg? Or have I just…
