Merzbow Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Lidl have a few new cheesy crisps for Xmas, I've just tried the camembert & garlic ones and fucking hell they are lovely. A rare 10/10 crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted December 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2022 Filth. The free sample stall was doing pieces of these with little thimblefuls of prosecco, and it's an obscenely good combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2022 Long day in the office yesterday and the only food I managed until evening was a depressed baked potato with a smattering of beans. Decided to make up the calorie deficit by eating a whole Lidl 9 month matured Christmas pudding with Brandy cream for dinner. Stunning. Might stop eating breakfast and lunch and just do this until January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what makes it “blondie” as opposed to regular frangipane but they were a stunning mouthful. Wasn’t sure l’d stock up as they aren’t particularly “festive” (as though tons of chocolate particularly is??) and it was sealed when the ginger, which I could barely taste, proved too spicy for Mrs raid. YMMV. Bloody delicious though. ..... didnt stop her picking up two more boxes because she clocked how much I enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted December 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2022 Almost time to decide which crisps get a repeat purchase. Strong contenders - Tesco crinkle cut pigs in blankets Lidl Turkey/stuffing Seabrook cross branded Aunt Bessie's turkey/stuffing - really good, if I can remember where I bought them. Sainsburys taste the difference pigs in blankets - Jesus, these had a convincing sausage flavour and were so good I might have to get their turkey flavour without a sample and any others that take the fancy, assuming I'm in Sainsburys before next weekend!!

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2022 The Christmas Pudding World Tour continues tonight - I'm not even going to bother going into detail on the cheap solo Aldi one I had last night (TLDR; shite, don't bother). Ponied up for this for later, despite the massive optimism that it's for four people, I have high hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) The reviews are in. Really delicious, the candied nuts dotted around finish it off - glacé cherries are nice but some candied peel would have been better. Quite boozy which is always a plus. Don't worry, I didn't go in without a bag - cream went on after the picture. Edited December 18, 2022 by Gus Mears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted December 21, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Bought a Nutcracker tin from Sainsbury’s last night, thinking it had shortbread inside (mostly for the tin to be honest) and they were actually “vanilla stars” made with vegetable marg instead of butter…. Unexpectedly they were delicious. Really top drawer. Edited December 25, 2022 by air_raid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted December 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Made these Yoghurt parfaits for brekkie. Effortlessly easy to put together. Just layers of Greek Yoghurt, Granola, and fruit. Set them up last night. A little bit of garnish before serving. They went down a treat. Merry Christmas.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 25, 2022 Show us your plates. This was ridiculous. Quorn Gammon, Quorn Roast, This Isn’t Pigs in blankets, braised red cabbage, Peas (mint sauce as I’m a man child), Sage and onion stuffing, Marmite buttered sprouts with vegan pancetta, roast potatoes and home made Yorkies. And whilst I only managed one Yorkie, the rest got demolished and now I need a nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
