OK Tel, I'll retract that slightly and say it all tasted bland

I'm prepared to give it a try again just for you, but I've definitely given up on my local Tesco/Morrisions/Asda stores.

The cherries this year were fantastic. And the strawberries were excellent too, until the English ones ran out and they started stocking the jumbo American imposters. Like all good food, you have to buy it in season, otherwise it can be a crushing disappointment.

Stupid

Unless you are peter. He seems to like rubbish food.

dpb

dont go much on this years Strawberries.. - from Kent where i used to live too

You really wouldn't have thought asda could muck it up between there an Brighton.

You mean you still visit supermarkets ?

We have a man deliver our groceries.

vindaloo

There was once the corner shop, then came the high street supermarket, then came the out of town store. IMO LIDL and ALDI are more like the Liptons and Gateways of yesteryear. Plonked somewhere within reach of town centres, moderate sized stores selling tins and bog rolls.

The only ones I've visited have been on the continent (Belgium, typically) but I can't say I've seen any chavs, neds or pikeys hanging around... but I was shopping for beers, not food.

Freixenet is Cava. It's made in Catalonia. It's a fizzy wine/champagne type of drink and is actually bl**dy nice. It's also cheap if you don't buy it in Tesco, Waitrose or Sainsbury on the run up to Christmas, New Year.

rr_ww

I dont buy from our farmers. Simply because I cant be arsed. I go for convienience of shopping in Tescos or Sainsbury.

PLUS

I happen to believe that the 2 stores above dont get ridiculous subsidies from the Government. And dont picket places saying "Buy British" before they check the time on a Swiss watch, wear Italian Jeans, get back into their Japanese Car filled with Red Diesel. And drive back into the countryside where they slate people like me as "townies who dont understand what it is to be patriotic"

Maybe Im missing something?

dpb

are you an unemployed 20 stone chav........

pslewis

I'm quite clearly an Employed 20 Stone Pikey ........ but, I enjoy great food and LIDLs offer great food at rock-bottom prices.

Why should the Pikeys have all the qualities of life, so I was just sharing it wiff ya'!!

hey there's nothing wrong with hinari. my iron packed up and i needed a new one so i popped down to tescos. £2.97 for steam iron clearly it was way to cheap for my usual high standards so i bought the deluxe version (with vairable steam settings) for £5.75.

lidl's though are not bad for fruit/veg. i'm a tesco/waitrose/m&s shopper usually but bought some fruit/veg from lidl's and was very impressed for the price.

personally i hate these kind of shops as we as a nation don't need to lower ourselves to the levels that these places cater for. hell i grew up on a ****ty council estate and was skint as it gets but my mum always shopped at sainsburys.

dpb

But you couldnt do your weekly shop there anyway surely...?? maybe its just mine but they dont have the full range.
but i would go in for the odd bargain...!

pslewis

Our weekly/monthly shop is done at Sainsburys/Tescos

What LIDL is great for is what they do actually sell .... their 100% BeefBurgers are FANTASTIC!! .... like prime beef!!

Pete

Stupid

LOL Even I'm not that stupid.

43) Do you buy the cheapest oil you can find for a high performance car which you own but drive like it is a Lada Samara ?

Franx

It's supposed to be quite a high class shop in Germany, someone told me I used to go there when I was in Aberdeen, and although I never had the Beefburgers, I found the Bratwurst was spot on, as were all the other sausages

Things which are to be avoided at all costs, are the 7 pence baked beans, which taste interestingly of cinamon, and the 'mis-shaped' bacon, which is just plain bloody awful I got it once, and every other mouthful was either a massive chunk of gristle, or fat Bloody terrible stuff. The stuff they call 'Ouzo', if I've spelt it right, is pretty potent, and turns you purple after about two sips

And get the cream donuts if you're not worried about blood pressure and all that, as they're not bad at all

pslewis

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Those Cream Dougnuts!!!!!!! dribble, dribble

The sausages, pork and herb are just spectacular, as is their spicy rice with large chicken pieces mixed in!! Yummy, yummy!!!

Their Ice Creams are really good too!!

Awwwww god I'm bloody starving for LIDL quality now!!

Pete

It's probably down to the fact all your taste buds have died by now, not much still working at your age.


Or this thread could be a load of bollocks, like the rest of your posts. When do you go back to school?

scoobyvirgin

Aldi....When you're even too Pikey for Lidl

r32

Take a tenner, (or if your tight a fiver) pop along to your local Lidl, spend your tenner on grub you like. Then come back and tell us what you think?

Leslie

Farmers markets are the answer to real quality these days.

Les

pslewis

But WHY are they so bloody expensive???

Farm worker goes into field at 5am and picks Turnip ....

Farmer takes Turnip to local market and tries to sell it for MORE than Tescos are selling it for!!

WHY?? Tesco get the same Turnip, maybe from the same farmer!, transport it, chill it, distribute it, shelve it, provide free bags and heat and light for buyers!!

Naaaaaaaa, Farmers Markets will ONLY work if they price sensibly!

Pete

Dracoro

You meant to tell me you don't understand the basic, simple to understand economics of 'economies of scale'?

Reality

Maybe it's time for Supermarket in-Store Farmers.


He can hand you a Turnip and charge you an extra £4.87 for it !

pslewis

I understand that if said Farmer can sell Turnip to Tesco for 10p - then he can sell it to me for 20p ..........................

Why, then, does rich Farmer want me to pay him 50p for it ...... when it's 35p in Tesco??!!

Nah, sorry, Farmer needs to wake up to the real world!!
