Aldi camembert- back to its former lovely unctuousness!

[gatekeeper]

Gather round Aldi camembert fans- gone is the snottyness that has ruined it for over a year

Bought one yesterday and it is back to its silky consistency and mushroomy, pongy twang . Just scoffed another one today with salat, homemade chutney and sourdough toast. Bloody lovely...

Will look out for this!

Ooh good. My waistline did not say

Had some one last week,sooooo good. Had it with sugar snap peas!

I’m just posting to thank you for introducing me to the word unctuousness

I am most likely not using the word in its correct meaning but in my mind it sounds silky, glossy, delicious, divine

I am SO pleased I have seen this as I was a huge fan of it and gutted when it went all yucky! What made you try it again, though? I was totally put off it and definitely wouldn't have bought it again.

@MsVestibule

dh bought it on a whim and I'm so glad he did - sent him back today to buy some more!

So if one eats a camembert with sugar snap peas, celery and carrots and no bread do you think it counts as one of your 5 a day? 🙄

I had an Aldi camembert the other week and had to spit it out as it tasted so horrible!

In what way?

I really don't like French cheeses at all but, if ever I was to be tempted, it would be this thread that had made me do it!

Every one of you ought to be working for the International Cheese Appreciation Society (if there is one).

I've bought one and I'm eagerly anticipating Saturday, which is the only day I can eat Camembert. Apart from Christmas Eve, of course.

Nigel's comments have tempered my excitement a little, though. I'll report back on Sunday.

I'm worried now...what if they are still shite and its me that's at odds with the world!!!

Consistency improved that's for sure as they had turned into a kind of snotty, frogspawny, jizzy gloop!

How can you keep one until Saturday,they are so stinky and ripe? No way could I put one in the fridge

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor it doesn't smell in the slightest!! Not until I take it out of its packaging, when I inhale it's delicious aroma 😋. I bet you buy yours from an artisanal cheeserie, don't you? Not Aldi, like the rest of us plebs.

@gatekeeper it was the texture I particularly objected to (very accurate description, BTW) so if that's improved significantly, I'll be very happy!

No, I'm an Aldi shopper,it even honked the car out on the way home. It was soooooo ripe 😂

scoffed a Munster cheese tonight...jolly nice

I will be fotty clem this time next week ....if you understand this- you live near me >

@gatekeeper I'm delighted to report that it really is back to its former lovely unctuousness!!!

Well done for starting this thread, 🌟 for you.
