LIDL curry bargains
« on: May 04, 2010, 06:21 PM »
The Chicken Tikka Masala is quite good for a supermarket curry and, for my taste, the red and green Thai curries are especially good. A bargain for GBP1.99 a pack, let alone GBP1.49 each, for a period from 6 May.

These are the chilled ones which, in my opinion, taste better than the frozen versions, in similar packaging.

Axe - what's wrong?

Hi
Axe, the reason I ask is to understand what other members find agreeable. JM rates there sausage. (Keep it clean it's a family show).

Yes, that's why I mentioned it. I don't work for them or anything. Like the Morrisons Saag Masala which I rate so highly, I think the chilled Morrisons curries might be made by Noon Products, who also make similar dishes for M&S and many others, but sold at far higher prices. For anyone who sometimes needs or wants to grab a quick meal, these Lidl curries are a bargain.

Each to his own I guess but I stopped buying supermarket made meals long ago, especially the curries. I'm not going to say they are disgusting as clearly people do enjoy them, but they simply don't do anything for me. Perhaps I just haven't tried the right one but i'm no hurry to find it.

I just find it bizarre that on this forum especially, people would opt to buy a supermarket curry when there are a multitude of very good recipes on here. You can always make a little extra and freeze it in a typical take-away foil tray. Its just as easy to re-heat and tastes a damn site better.

You'd better hope Domi doesn't show up then!   ;)

But as far as LIDL sausages go they do a whole range of cold sausages and I find them all very agreeable, especially the smoked ones.

I am led to believe that both Morrisons and Asda curries on the chill counter are made by Mumtaz of Bradford.... a fine establishment with a thoroughly hygenic factory in its rear that efflux fresh daily produce. Said effluviant is available monthly on special offer at Asda for one pond coin per tray. It is jolly tasty too.

And after such a glowing report, and on such an influencial micromarketing format as this, I expect freebies forever. Unless the owner reads it and gets out the dictionary - but he is too busy adding a new diamond to his M5 probably. (Is it libel or slander to have a go on the internet?).

LIDL is good.

Long live homemade
