Has anyone tried these from Aldi? Reviews?



Eta: bought some now, am waiting to share with friends before giving a verdict. As far as I can see they are a special edition so just a Christmas treat.

Thanks for this, I just made a variation of them, and they were very nice. (Mine were minus Parmesan, plus Turmeric and Nutmeg, and fried in a little oil).

I love Aldi's hobgoblin ale - it makes a better steak and ale pie than Newcastle Brown (and I never thought I would ever say that!)- it is available in other supermarkets so I am told!

just waiting for their Christmas fruit cake to appear on the shelves. its just your round un-iced cake - but its moist and delicious - and um, I marzipan and ice it, and don't let on that I didn't actually MAKE the cake!

Oh I am so sick of the holier than thou attitude re what people should and shouldn't be eating, have read it again and again from a particular poster. You know nothing about what people eat or their health, so butt out.

Aldi's Christmas cakes were superb last year - and even better when being sold-off for twiddly two pence in January! I bought one then, froze it, and used it in July. It was perfect.

I have every confidence they will be excellent this year, too.

My OH is chuffed that the fudge has come back out on the shelves

Visited Aldi yesterday evening around 8pm - usually we go in the morning.

Amazed to find so many empty shelves (no grapes, no satsumas, no long-life filtered milk for example, but any number of other produce items sold out). Just excuses from the deputy manager, claiming it was because everything needed to be fresh.

If this had been my first visit to Aldi it would certainly also have been the last!

Is this normal in the evening?

In ours the fruit & veg shelves can be pretty empty in the evening, but most other stuff is available.
