    Has anyone tried Aldi's pulled pork? Suggestions to what to serve with it please?

    Soft rolls, or baked potatoes with sides of bbq beans and coleslaw...or with chips and same sides...add more bbq sauce while cooking and add some to normal baked beans to make the bbq beans and it tastes almost as good as proper southern bbq food...in memphis pulled pork is always served with beans and slaw

    Always start from the beginning...so what about A?

    Anyhow when super 6 is mentioned I sussed that out very quickly as only Aldi offers Super 6.

    True, in my defence I only skim-read the list.

    From aldi - specially selected venison burgers, 2 pack for £2.49 in freezer section, absolutely lovely. I oven cooked them, would prob be even nicer on the barbecue. They are huge - nearly 6oz when I worked out how much 170g is in old money - so I think next time, we would have half each or maybe two between 3 of us. Really tasty alternative to burgers, very pleased :)

    (Only bought them as I had a 50% off voucher from paper last week! but would buy again at full price. I guess that's the idea of the vouchers...)
    Mortgage free as of 11/11/15 !
    :Anow... to start some serious saving :A


  • I was tempted by the look of the Specially Selected black grapes in Aldi and they really are every bit as nice as they look. 20p a pack more expensive than their standard grapes (£1.69 as opposed to £1.49) but well worth the extra.
