In search of the best stollen

[newmumwithquestions]

I had stollen for the first time last year. It was amazing. I can't believe it had passed me by.

I am very excited about it appearing on the shelves again. But are there any that I should try/best places to buy it?

I found sainsburys to be dry, lidl a bit bland.

It's Aldi every time for me, moist and lots of marzipan.

Aldi-deeeeelicious. Just chomping some now!

Agree with Aldi. It's the best supermarket one.

Booths is amazing!!!

I think you need to buy them all and do a taste test.

We have Booths' stollen bites in our Christmas food order. I'm looking forward to them!

I had to ban it from the house years ago after I discovered M&S stollen bites. Chomped through two packs without coming up for air .
Don't know if they still do them but I suspect they're too sickly for true connoisseurs.

I love Lidl's, with Aldi a close second.

Aldi? Nooooooo. Don't tell me Aldi. We don't have one. And what is Booths - is it a make or a shop?

Lidl abs Booths are joint first for me, definitely the best. M&S is awful, all alcohol to the point you can't taste the marzipan!

The co-op stollen bites were lovely last year, but our local co-op doesn't have any Christmassy cakes (except mince pies) yet. Hoping they'll do them again this year.

Booths is a vair, vair naice refined supermarket in the NW which knocks Waitrose into a cocked hat.

I think Lidl and Aldi have the advantage on anything German. We've already had a stollen this year from Aldi, it was great.

I find Aldi's stollen to 'alcoholy' tasting. I like Waitrose's best.

Why won't OH move North! Maybe this will tempt him.

Omg I had the Lidl stollen bites last year as recommended on mn. That was an extra few pounds I had to lose in January.

I've heard people mention stollen before and I had never tried it, so decided to buy mini stollen bites from Lidl yesterday. Oh dear, they are so good I've just eaten some for breakfast

Aldi have started doing chocolate covered stollen...

newmum go on holiday to the Lake District, there's a big one in Windermere. Right next to the Lakeland flagship store. It domestic naiceness heaven.

Costa do a lovely one In a little bag.

Tesco also do a very nice small one in a clear wrapping. I don't think it's their own brand.

You can order original Dresden stollen online if you want to try the real thing though if you like Lidl etc then you probably don't!

Lidl or Aldi, no questions asked

I got some Kuchenmeister stollen bites from Tesco last week - metallic gold cardboard box with clear wrapping - is that what you mean, Try anything?

I wasn't impressed. Despite a use by date of mid January, they tasted dry and stale.

If you have the time or inclination to make it then Delia Smith's recipe in her Christmas cookbook is sublime. I like to cut a slice off and eat it whilst it's warm. It freezes brilliantly.

I'll skip it this year, haven't been able to find one without palm oil.
