Merry Christmas to all the lovely ladies on here. I just looove to flick thru the banter here, so much more congenial than Mumsnet where they're always on one!
Ref the puds, back in 2018, we bought 4 x 454 gm puds/18 month Matured Puds from Aldi due to them being a "Good Housekeeping' Best Buy. Yesterday, doused with extra brandy, warmed in the micro, they did very well.
Figured if they can mature them for 18months then another 12 months won't hurt. Delish! Can fully recommend them as being, light, full of fruit, almonds and brandy. Not at all stodgy.
This year Aldi did pigsinblankets in a yard long ring, which sold out in days. They missed a trick there not having a larger stock level. Happy holidays
