Used to have aldi gozleme a lot over the last couple of years. The last 3 I've had have been sort of green with tiny splotches of spinach, and gooey, which oozes out during cooking. Looks very similar to Woolies gozleme? Usually the cheese is clumped with larger spinach leaves, which is preferable. Has anyone had similar experiences in the last few weeks? Pic of the offending meal attached.

Not sure what it is with frozen stuff at Aldi, specifically pizzas but it seems like every second buy, it has clearly been frozen and then defrosted some and then refrozen again. Leaving sheets of ice on top.

I have noticed when buying sometimes even then the box feels a little soft/ moist.

Dont know if they leave stuff out to long or there freezers are just getting opened to often and not being cold enough.

Don't think its my freezer as another frozen pizza from woolworths is fine bought longer ago then this one. And the frozen stuff I buy last and go straight home which is only 5 minutes away in insulated bag.

Trying to find a cost friendly alternative, planning a wedding In this challenging economy haha.

Anyone know why Aldi has removed the Diplomat green tea with mint?

Can’t find it in any stores.

Being from NZ I have only ever bought Whittakers chocolate when in Aus as I think that Cadbury is grainy and not at the quality I was used to. First time trying Aldi chocolate and I am SOLD! Salt and crunch was insane. Chocolate had the melt in mouth texture I was after. I didn’t take a photo before it was gone so only have pic from Aldi website. Another winner from Aldi 👏

Has anyone bought this and tried it with their pets? I was planning to buy it but they ran out of my size, still having a think as to if I actually want to buy it lol

Knock-off of Cadbury marvelous creations. Only $2.49 and its excellent. Only noticed it yesterday

Have searched 4 different stores and can’t find this long term product! Anyone know whether it’s been discontinued? 🙏 TIA

Not good for my cholesterol levels.

It used to be my absolute favourite, i noticed a few years ago that they didn’t have them anymore and i can’t find any reason for it. not even a picture of the australian one ( the label was different and we only had miniblocks of it) i think i last had it in 2019.

Spotted these in the middle aisle today for anyone missing them!

Hello Team,

Welcome back to another extremely scientific review of ALDI Korean Style Chicken with Spicy Gochujang Sauce.

Tl;dr - 5/10 chicken on its own, chicken with sauce my wife scored 8.5 and I scored 8.

Now to the review -

The way these reviews are done, we establish a baseline score for the item and then see whether or not a sauce or different preparation improves the taste.

We also keep in mind the price point of the reviewed products - you're obviously not going to get restaurant quality Korean food out of a six dollar frozen ALDI product.

While the chicken was cooking I was reminded of a very particular smell from my childhood, sitting in the local Chinese takeout spot playing Frogger waiting for our takeout to be prepared, it just smelled so strongly of plain vegetable oil. Strange memory but it's pretty vivid.

When we tasted the chicken we found it to be quite bland and lacking any strong flavor. The texture of the batter was kinda gummy but it wasn't particularly offensive. Perfectly fine as a vessel for sauce.

My wife and I both scored 5.

Chicken with Gochujang sauce -

Keeping in mind that this is a frozen chicken product that costs 6 dollars we found the sauce to be really, really good. It added a sweet and savoury flavor along with a nice fermented quality, a little bit acidic.

We didn't get any spice out of the sauce, absolutely no heat detected despite being advertised as "spicy". Whilst my heat tolerance is particularly high, my wife's isn't and she didn't feel like there was any heat whatsoever which was a little disappointing.

The chicken and sauce received an 8.5 from my wife and I gave it an 8.

Chicken with a combination of Gochujang sauce and kewpie mayo -

Not as good as the chicken and gochujang. The mayo did add something, a kind of sweet flavour, however it detracted a little from the other qualities that the sauce by itself had. My wife gave it an 8 and I gave it at 7. Not bad, just kinda meh.

Again - thanks a bunch for reading, have an awesome week and we'll catch y'all around on the flipside. Adios.

they’re amazing. hold up much better than the brioche buns. i am making burgers all the time now, it’s not healthy 😅
