some of their cornettoes are far from right.  I wont be buying any more.  The mini magnums are quite good though.

Which flavours/pack sizes of Lidl cornets are involved?   It's not something I buy, but I did have a Salted Caramel cone at a friend's place, and that was very nice.   

They were strawberry flavoured.  Quite an unpleasant taste.

On reflection I wouldn't recommend the Southern Fried Chicken munch box. 

You get a disappointing amount of food inside based on the box side, the chicken pieces are small & poor quality (roughly half pictured) and gravy instructions were way off.

If people are looking for crunchy chicken, I'd recommend the Aldi Frozen Chicken Goujons - a couple of different flavours for the coating and good VFM.

What is this supposed to be? Doesn't look like food to me!

It's ubiquitous chicken - frozen?   Probably looks okay when cooked, but it sounds like you don't get much for your money.

Here’s a strange one a month ago I got some Lidl own brand spreadable butter stuff I’ve had it numerous times before but after a few days it developed a horrible sour taste and smell which was also a bit chemicaly if you know what I mean I said to myself never again with that but last Friday was in Lidl and needed spread nothing else tickled my fancy and thought last time must have been a bad batch and it’s been a month or so and I picked it up. Exact same thing I used it over the weekend and it’s fine but used it today and it has the same funny sour smell and taste. Fridge is fine and always on the coldest setting anyone else noticed this ?

@PLRFD

have you reported the bad batch to Lidl??  Just in case there's a recall issu@PLRFD

meanwhile - has anyone else had duplicate offers in their app??  I've got 15% off a bag of lemons twice.  I assume that doesn't mean I can get 30% off!!!

I nearly bought some hot cross buns the other day.  a pack of 6 were cheaper than a pack of 4 teacakes but I just couldn't get the buns at such a completely wrong time of the year.
