I have followed this thread on and off for some time and love all the great ideas and menus in it. :beer:

I look out for Butterfly Brain's posts re the Aldi Super 6 and what to do with them. :T

I was looking for a piece of advice. I noticed that Aldi have a chubb of black pudding for £1.99. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for main meals made with this as although it looks a good deal I didnt want to buy just to have with breakfasts/on a roll etc.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

You could make a hash with chopped black pudding, onions and diced potatoes and serve with a fried egg
or
Black pudding with pasta and either a tomato sauce or chilli sauce
or Black pudding with savoury vegetable rice

Thanks to all of you for the great ideas for using black pudding. I will definitely get some as it should go a really long way using all of your recipies :j

I'm not sure what one to try first, its going to be really hard not to eat black pudding all week now. I think ill make up the stuffed chicken breasts and freeze ahead and portion up the rest so I can defrost it as I need it.

Just checked on prices and batter mix has gone from 7p to 20p that means that the price has nearly trebled since last year :eek: It is only 1 oz (25g) plain flour, skimmed milk powder and salt what the hell?

Hi BB, great to see you :j
I've noticed this with a few things, stock cubes doubling from 10-20p, and the rise in mushy peas :eek:

Still cheaper to buy this and make up with water than it would be to make from scratch with milk though
(An egg needed with both)

I do a baked bean, bacon and cheese slice

HM SC pastry made with flour, butter ,lard and water rolled into a rectangle on a baking tray 50p
A layer of baked beans 26p that have been drained, followed by a layer of chopped cooking bacon I use half a pack so 37p that has been lightly fried, an onion that has been sliced and fried 10p, with thick slices of cheese on top ( I use Edam cheese slices 10 pack is £1.15 from Aldi) I only use four or five slices 57p. Fold over the pastry, dampen the edges then crimp and seal well. Egg wash 10p and put in the oven until golden which is about 25/30 mins at 180c gas mark 4.
Total cost £1.90 serves six 32p a portion or four is 47.5p per portion

Lovely with mash potato, wedges or chips

Ooh we have left over pastry in the fridge which I'm struggling to use, will defo try your pasty recipe
