Damn, not sold in East Anglia!
A very nice brand weissbier that is, and not sold cheap in Germany.

Necked another very nice bottle tonight along with a nice blonde beer from your part of the world Adnams Explorer

don't know if this has been mentioned before, there's a lot of pages on this thread, aand before I tell you what I found, can I say that i still use lidl and aldi more than tesco asda etc......I bought a tim of tuna from lidl,admittedly a couple of years ago, opened it and found that the tuna had bluer eyes than me....put me off buying tinned stuff from there for a while and have never bought tuna from there since

I can honestly say that Lidl's Tuna Steaks in oil are excellent quality. Might be worth trying again.

mini_huny_money

might try again, but can't promise. Tinned tuna to me is now like eggs, I can really fancy scrambled eggs or an omelette, and am really looking forward to eating them and I cook the omelette or whatever but take one look and go yeeeuch. I know...so wasteful but cant help it

It is getting difficult to find decent tinned tuna.

Lidl - BUY:

Kegs of beer, £8.99 for 5L, both the wheat beer and normal beer is very nice.
Cherry Liquor £4.99 (I think) - mix 1 shot this + 1 shot Iceland Peach Schnapps, top up with orange juice and ice, blummin' lovely party drink :beer:
Prosecco - £3.50 Great deal as others have noted, tastes great.
Black Forest Ham - £2.50 - big chunk of really good quality ham, keeps for weeks, can also fry it like bacon and put it in stews etc. Great stuff.
Chorizo - £2 ish - Authentic brand, find it in Supersol etc. in Spain, nice texture, great fried with brown sauce
Rye Bread (49p) / Ryvita-esque stuff (40p ish) - Great for snacking, I like the Ryebread with Lidl cheeses (also good value) and their smoked trout (£1.99), fake caviar (99p jar) or Herring (99p).
Chewing gum (45p?) - There's 3-4 flavours, comes in pouches. I like my menthol ones, so I get the "fresh" ones, but there's Dental and even honey and lemon. I prefer these to airwaves etc. and you get way more for your money. Probably need it after all that fish I just mentioned
Meatballs (30p ish) - Ok, in a tin, definately processed etc. but actually quite nice, I bought some because a stray moggy was showing up in my garden and it might have wanted a change from all the fish and gum I was giving it. Tried it myself, nice....

Interesting - do you need any special fittings/adaptors/gas cylinders to get the beer from those little kegs ? Do you have to drink it all in one session or will it keep for a bit ?

Although the Adnams brewery is just a few miles away from where I live, just down the A12 to Southwold, I must admit I've never tried any Adnams ales so far.

This will be sorted, though!

I have looked through a lot of this thread but not all so forgive me if anyone has already answered my question.

Has anyone tried Aldis Q10 day and night cream? They are £1.89, which is about £7 cheaper than the brand I can't afford to use anymore.

I really hope someones going to say they're nice
