Can I join the I Love Lidl thread? I have to agree with everyone about the ice creams. Have you tried the chocolate one? It's really really chocolatey with lots of choc chips in.

Chipps

We do like our Aldi biscuits, especially the Choco Leibniz knock-off which taste exactly the same for half the price.

MMmmm, yum yum!!! Lidl do them, too. Different pictures on, but taste & price the same.

True, & you get clubcard points, but for taste we prefer Lidls, as it is the same price but less salty & more creamy. But as we have to drive 10 miles for Lidl I will buy Tescos if we run out before the next monthly shopping trip.

do you just add water to the batter mix?

or do you have to add anything else?

I can't remember who posted about Lidl's coffee chocolate it sounds brill, could u describe what it looks like please. Thier chocolates can be quite confusing

another Lidl winner - their frozen Tuna - at around £1.60 for two steaks.
I cook it in a little olive oil with peppers, onions and garlic and it's absolutely fab. Better even than M & S at £4.99.
(I wish you could smell it cooking right now!!!)

is all you need

Hang on a second... the recipe I've got for batter is 4 tbsps plain flour, milk, water and an egg...

So the only thing that could be in that batter mix is some flour and some milk powder...?

Or does it have a secret ingredient that makes it the best batter mix in the world?

I do agree that the Tuna is really nice.

I don't really have one that close any more that is easy to get to.

I spent £5 on 4 frozen tuna steaks on saturday in Tescos

Mind you this was at 7am as I could not sleep so thought I would do some shopping. And Lidls would not have been open. Shame though.
