Aldi's Profiteroles

Not yet, but I am intending to do a thougher tasting exercise.

Aldi’s cherry liqueurs. Bought half a dozen boxes as part of hampers made up for family at Christmas. Have eaten them all. Now have to replenish and then summon enormous amount of willpower not to dig in again.

I buy this from the supermarket in a pouch. All the goodness of a broth but without the faff. Not cheap at £4 but worth it for the goodness (and not having to boil up bones for hours!)

Cherry liqueur chocolates are my absolute favourite! Sadly, I'm diabetic so have to restrain myself

We bought a huge cheesecake from Aldi recently. It was delicious. £2.99.

Tesco Black Forest gateaux oh my that took me back its delicious if you like retro.

Seriously FGT? You’re talking about healthy broth in the midst of profiteroles, cherry liqueurs and Black Forest gateau. How very dare you!

You ate half a dozen boxes? You sound like me!

Orlin ate half. It was over a whole week, not all at once. I’m not that greedy.

Oh dear Laura, what a mistake to buy these so early.
I either a) buy chocolate at the last moment or
b).wrap it immediately, complete with label
Even I hold back tomorrow from unwrapping a present ( well, I haven't yet)

I know, I never learn. When my four boys were young I would buy their Easter eggs early but would always have to rush out on the Saturday to replace them.
Chocoholic, moi?

“ Bone broth “ which is certainly good for you can be made in under 45 minutes in my pressure cooker for the price of a packet of chicken wings (usually £1.50) an onion, a carrot and a couple of bay leaves! Alternatively the carcass from Sundays roast chicken.No faff, no work and a kitchen which smells wonderful.

Oh sorry, yes. Of course you’re right LauraNorderr! I got carried away by a pouch of protein goodness for Himself. My mind was elsewhere. He can’t eat Christmas Fayre any more. I wasn’t thinking.

I no longer own a pressure cooker Maw.
This broth has been simmered for hours. Just not by me.
A win, of sorts.

It was my ‘magnificent food discovery’ as Terribull asked.

Just not Christmassy. 😕

I bought some little packets of Friars chocolate salted caramels for the grandchildren. I made the mistake of testing them and now they have all gone! In my defence the grandchildren are all grown ups but still I'll have to find something to take their place.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Which supermarket? I do sometimes use a chicken carcass to make chicken broth, but can't always be bothered, so this bought broth would come in very handy.

Sainsbury’s
Tesco too. my daughter tells me.

Sorry if I was insensitive FGT, was only joking.
The broth looks great and I will give it a go.
Very important for himself, lots of goodness. X

Tesco sell Solidarnosc Polish cherry liqueurs. They are delicious

That looks great FGT - shows you don’t need to fill food with additives & chemical crap in order to mass produce it for supermarkets. I’ve no idea if £4 is a lot but everything seems to cost more now.

I haven't had chocolate liqueur for years. Cherry brandy being my favourite. no one in our family liked them so if one was gifted it would end up with me! being early teens i felt like I was a real boozer! i remember biting the neck of the bottle shaped chocolate and slurping the inner liquid then there would be a sugary layer to get through! its no good when I pack the food for our Festive holiday or rather a get away as apart from the food we do not really celebrate Xmas due to grown up mainly kids and grandkids and a lot of very sad painful memories. However back to the chocolates that must be something to go in the hamper!

Aldi all butter mince pies are very nice too, box of 6 is about £1.50. Our Aldi has a bakery now, so I’m gradually testing their stock, very nice bread, and much fresher Danish than the soggy efforts at our local Tesco.

Mist of Aldi's food comes from the same factory as M&S, they just put it in different packaging

FriedGreenRomatoes2 I but this whenever I see it and then just choo some spring onions into it and let them soften while heating and drink instead of coffee or tea. Very food for you.and better than most fresh soups.
