  1. Important note: foe that that amount of chips I meant to write it serves TWO. Can’t edit it right now but will change later!

  2. Even easier oven chips – don’t bother to par-boil first. Use REALLY GOOD spuds, e.g. Kerr Pinks. Pre-heat the lightly-olied roasting dish to about 190, dry the chips/wedges well in a towel, the toss them in a little oil in a bowl BEFORE you put them in the oven. After about three minutes in the oven, shake them so they don’t stick. Extra niceties when you are doing the pre-tossing are fresh ground pepper (rainbow is nice), lemon rind, thyme leaves, paprikeacurry powder, etc.

  3. Yessss we’re 10 minutes from there and it’s a perfect location. Bye bye Nutgrove… we can cycle to Aldi now!

  4. I find par boiling speeds it up and improves the texture of the chips but will try it with Kerr’s pinks.

  5. I prefer the Aldi RibEye and just toss it, with while seasoning with salt and pepper, in a hot hot pan for four one minute turns. Very good food.

  6. The Okey Dokeys crisps taste the same as the ones with the offensive advertising campaigns because they’re made by the same people. Bit annoying, cos after pulling the same stunt twice I’m very reluctant to give them a single cent, even indirectly.

  7. I love Aldi – Jave Ground coffee is great, breads, fruit and veg, everything really but not their paper products, ie t-rolls, kitchen towels…lidl much better there.

    If you prefer not to fork out 13.99 for your two steaks in Aldi, they also do beef medallions which are about 8e I think for two very large ‘steaks’. I’m not a big meat eater but they taste pretty good too…I’ve taste-tested their ‘Tayto’ Cheese and Onion – Spudz, not bad but not as good as Tayto or King – agree Okely dokely’s are nice! Cottage cheese is excellent and all their Irish yogurts/cheeses are too…

  8. The beef sausages are the best i have eaten in a few years not to much fat in them but have a great taste the only thing is i think a smaller gut should be used them i will be buying 2 packets this week.

    My brother made beef sausages for a local butcher for over 25 years and they were good the shop is closed now

    3 cheers for your beef sausages

    would like address off who makes them cant read packet
