Lidl selling US "specialities"

Click here. Yummy, yummy (not)

Thanks, I'll load up on cranberry juice (try it with Sekt!). Love the Amierican Biertulpen as well.

It's a good thing they will be importing chilli flavoured potato chips because I can't find them anywhere here.

´Cranberry juice, dried cranberries, and marshmallows for the BBQ. I don't need the rest.
Of course, I have to work in the office that day

definitely score on the heinz bbq sauce. they had it a few weeks back and i literally dropped what was in my hand to get a bottle. better than that sigeuner sauce the germans sell. yuk!

You can get the Heinz BBQ sauce in HIT. They have it all the time - not just during "US Speciality" offers like at Lidl or Aldi.

Might get some peanut butter I guess. Rest of it looks like total junk...which probably means the kids will love it.

Already get cahshews and the like in Plus or pennerMarkt. That real chav style shopping for those of us that find Lidl and Aldi too posh.

Cranberry juice (not drink) is now sold in Tengelmann as well as Walmart and marshmallows can be found pratically everywhere. Real and Walmart are even selling Newman's Own salad dressings regularly and only slightly overpriced. If anyone buys some pecans, let me know if they are any good. My supply of those is running low and I want to make a pecan pie.

As for BBQ sauce, I need to sell my homemade stuff, but until then you can make your own.

Texas Style Barbecue Sauce
1/4 - lb butter or margarine
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dry mustard (can use prepared as well)
2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne (more or less to desired hotness)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 - crushed bay leaves
2 - cloves garlic, minced
1 - large onion, grated
Juice of 1 lemon

This is awesome on chicken and ribs.

This is ye old family recipe affectionately referred to as "BBQ Horse":

1 small can tomato puree
Enough dripping or oil to fry onion
Large finely chopped onion
5 tablespoons water
3 “ brown sugar
3 “ vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
2 “ dry mustard
Pinch mixed herbs
Salt and pepper

Method

Lightly fry the onions, (5 mins) add all the rest of the ingredients
and bring slowly to the boil. We usually double the above, and cut
the onion in really big pieces.

since this isn't a topic about BBQ sauce prob shouldn't post here, but just following you guys!

more info than just the sauce so enjoy (never had it on the chicken only use the Sauce on ribs, usually cooke dona smoker)

here's the sauce. it's from the magazine Bon Appetit July 2004. the
recipe is on P80 and is the 'Cover Recipe' it's Bourbon-Molasses
Chicken Drumsticks (but we use it for ribs). I'll type up the entire
thing incl the chicken part. we just follow what it says to make the
sauce and ignore the chicken bit.

for sauce--
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup minced onion
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
11/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspons yellow mustard (although will sometimes use grey poupon)
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup bourbon (if we don't have it then we use irish whisky)

for chicken--
11/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
12 chicken drumsticks

to make sauce--
melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. add onion; saute
until soft, about 6 min. add next 5 ingredients, 1/4 teaspoon pepper,
and chili powder. reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until sauce
thickens, about 15 min. stir in bourbon; cook until heated through,
about 3 min. season with salt (can be made 1 day ahead. cover and
chill.)

to make chicken (or not. use it w/ ribs instead! )--
mix 11/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in bowl. loosen skin
on drumsticks. rub salt and pepper mixture under skin without tearing
skin. cover; let stand at room temp 30 min.
prepare barbecue (medium heat). grill drumsticks until skin is crisp
and juices run clear, turning to cook all sides, about 25 min.
transfer 1/2 cup barbecue sauce to small bowl; reserve. brush
drumsticks with remaining sauce and cook until glaze forms, about 3
min longer. transfer drumsticks to platter and serve with reserved
sauce.

If you are not sucessful at Lidl this week, maybe Aldi is worth the way next week.
They have quite the same stuff like Lidl on extra sale from Monday 3rd July plus pecan nuts and jello beans. Not sure about the quality of the tortillas but 8 for 0,99€ seems to be quite reasonable.

I dont think we need another thread about this, maybe one of the moderators could add "Aldi" in the title.

The last recipe calls for molasses. Anybody know where one can buy molasses in Germany?

Seek and ye shall find.

Zörbiger Überrübe is a good substitute for molasses.

Aldi´s still selling their stock of US stuff. Just bought some Peanut Butter and made my first PBJ sandwich in about 4 years - delicious! They sell both "crunchy" or "smooth".
