    Like the false claims that measles deaths are being caused by malnutrition. Rather than immunisation refusals. Tragic.
    Claims boldly made by those that ironically have never missed a meal in their lives.

    Lidl have expanded their already excellent frozen High Protein Ready Meal range.

    Included in the new options is Chipotle Pulled Pork with Black Bean Rice.   It's very nice, with a decent serving of pork.  Medium hot, I'd say.    £1.79

    High protein being the new buzzword for bog standard stuff

    As long as the price isn't inflated, I don't mind - and this range doesn't have an inflated price.    In most of the varieties it's a case of adding some veg to the rice, and controlling the overall amount of fat, which both seem like a good idea.

    I buy the Lidl high protein sandwich thins. It's not just a buzzword in this case. The high protein thins have 7.8g of protein compared with the brown ones with 4.2g and just 3.3g in the white ones. . Unfortunately, they seem to have been discontinued in Aldi. ☹️

    I have always really enjoyed the Lidl flammkuchen - tissue thin pastry with a light covering of cheesy topping with thinly sliced onions and bacon.  Unfortunately what I picked up recently instead was some sort of pizza with a tartiflette topping.  If you see it run away!!!  Now I like tartiflette but not on pizza.  In fact neither of us liked this and despite being hungry we didn't finish it and it got chucked in the bin.

    Aldi has high protein giant crumpets, which I was enticed to try by the 75% off sticker. They taste weird - and had a very powdery quality - and I wouldn't have them again even of the store was giving them away toasted and slathered in butter.


    @Brie - sounds like refined carb overload to me! Where is the fibre?

    Could hardly believe my eyes yesterday- the cheapie essentials chocolate in Aldi has gone up to 77 pence a bar ( was 55 pence  very recently)

    Bought some in Aldi today and it was 59p.
