Interesting to read but where is Lidl in these results? Were they entered for any of these awards?

Yeah, I'm missing their Bockwurst (10 in a foil pack for £2.99, chiller section) on the list. Best you get in the UK.

I am talking about the mini-eco bulbs which are far smaller and more efficient , I assume you are talking about the supersized older bulbs that are an eyesore??

On the contrary !
The one in my hand at the minute is less than 1 inch in diameter and just over 4 inches long !

Lidls wild salmon and spinich lattice pasties in the freezer are delish and salco rice pudding massive can is lovely and creamy....avoid Toppers Diet Coke its disgusting.

Pay the extra 15p for the Freeway Diet Cola - really nice and doesn't taste very different to the "real thing", perhaps a little more lemony tasting.

Has anyone tried the Lidl xmas Stollen cake. It is wonderful full of marzipan if you love that stuff like my hubby and I do. Also their marzipan in chocolate is great. Try the STollen it is so fresh and moist and lovely with a cuppa. Better find time to go to Lidls it is 15 miles away but worth it. Taffy

My partner's grandchildren (who are like others I have seen post on here, a bit snobbish) they said to their mum on entering Lidls, "mum are we poor now?" I would have got a clip across the ear with my valley up bringing if I had said that to mine. Taffy

It depends on what cocoa percentage you want/need to use, Morrisons own brand (and probably other supermarkets) are 50% which is probably enough for something you're going to dip sweet things like fruit into.

The Lidl one is very good though and Aldi do a lovely one which is dark chocolate with orange pieces in it for 79p.

I looked at the cocoa solids content of the "chocolate fountain" chocolate and it is barely 60% so I would say give it try with any of the Aldi or Lidl ones above the 60% .

Seriously, the reason I'm here, is to post that Lidl have their regular Stone Grill offer back next week at £7.99.

Also they have a Raclette Grill at £9.99.
