    Aldi Scottish beef mince £2.99 per kilo.
    Bought some cooked it up & it is excellent.
    Cheaper than dog meat !!

    Fresh or frozen? And what exactly is in them?

    I'm not sure whether you're buying it for your dog or normally make your Bolognese with dog meat. :think::D

    Frozen.
    And what exactly is in them?
    Sorry, I didn't examine them that closely...

    Thanks for the linky, it seems they are soya based. Its definitely worth having a couple of bags in the freezer to go with drinks when unexpected guests drop by. Not my go-to food, but at least it won't make me vomit (unlike quorn).

    Just to be clear, these are two different (possibly unrelated) products.

    Yes - amazingly - Aldi has two different types of vegan non-sausage rolls.
