Aldi. What am I missing...

Morning. I've shopped at Aldi, for years, but always seem to buy the same things. Am I missing any delights? I'm thinking of main meal ideas. Are there any gems that I need to try?

Thanks everyone! I went yesterday, and loaded up with lots of your suggestions. Taste test weekend Grin

Tempura chicken fillets
Burgers
Bread!!! Their thick break in the orange packet that’s a copycat or warburtons I presume, about 50p and the difference is amazing!!! I detest having to buy other bread now

Seen candy floss grapes at Asda & Tesco but not at Aldi. Some of their cereals are very good & you can sometimes get golden yolk eggs

What were your faves that you picked up, @Whatthefunk?

The melt in the middle chocolate puddings near the yoghurts hands down best ones I have ever had 12 mins in the oven beats every chocolate pudding I've had in a restaurant

I went today too. Very exciting but it was my first time in a shop since mid march! Managed to spend 67 quid 😳 but we won't need any more food for nearly 2 weeks I reckon. Apart from milk.

I got the barbecue ribs that you just oven for 45 mins which I think someone mentioned upthread.

Got some scampi which I've not had from there before. Cherries are in the deal thing at the moment so we're a good price. Just looking at my shopping list almost every item wa sunder £1 so I came back with a lot of stuff.

Got knock-off mini milks, orange juice lollies and coconut lollies, all were a hit at home today.

Their cheap bacon is cut quite thick and I really like it. Got some of that too.

I don't think anyone has mentioned their caramelised onion hummus or the strawberry sundaes in the cake aisle! Not together though!!!

I like the bake at home rolls.
Wevhad them with chilli on Friday.

Dh is off to Aldi tomorrow, so I might add some of these to his list .

We had them, that should have said.
His list is getting longer 😁

Entirely gin based, but the Seville orange and Persian lime gin and th Peach and orange blossom gin are amazing!
