Ready-made curries on sale at Aldi

Ready-made 392g tins of curry for €1,59. Now on sale at Aldi.

Dunno if they are any good or if they are especially made for German palates but might be worth a look.

Another MT chav supermarket public service announcment.

You had me right up to the word "tins".

First one to try one of these AND survive should post their experience here.

Our cat food costs more than €1.59 a tin.

thinks...

hmmmm...

I think we have our first testers. It's gonna be like an episode of Fawlty Towers.

Kitten Tikka Masala?

We could do a charity curry night. Charge a fiver for a portion and put the money in the beer kitty or summat.

You'll never get insured.

From "Unmentionable Cuisine"


My stupid cat ran outside some time yesterday evening and spent the night under the front doorstep, so I read her the recipe.

I have had worse curries than the Aldi stuff in England. Nottingham to be exact.

Kitty Tikka Masala and Beer Kitty.

I didn't know there was a feline section of TT.

And as for the tins of muck that are called a curry, I think I'd rather go for a tin of Whiskers and add some dried chilis

Do they have tandoori chicken?

Ferking hell, Johnny. €1,59 a tin?! Does it shit gold nuggets?

this thread was better before the fun was beaten out of it with the admin stick

Tinned curry sounds disgusting. I think I'll stick with the genuine article.

I know I know - but it's actually an interesting subject! One of the cat's got diabetes recently. Went to the vet and they gave us insulin jabs for daily. Bit of a joke for a cat, but we gave it a try.

Now we only knew she was diabetic 'cos she lost weight and was drinking lots of water. So to get her feeding we switched her food to better stuff from the dry crap.

The weird thing is that she then went into a diabetic coma, and I took her to the VET to put her down - but he jabbed her with sugar and sent us all home. This meant we had given her too much insulin (despite cutting the dose).

All sounds like a game huh? We thought so. So we just decided to only jab her when she was showing signs of being OVER sugered (drinking like a fish basically), 'cos that is less dangerous. They might get lethargic but they won't drop into a coma.

Anyway. Now we basically don't jab her and feed her decent tinned food with no added sugar, and no dry biscuits.

If anyone is still with me at this stage - it is like a miracle - the cat is pretty much no longer diabetic. Huh? Like it was reversed? Huh?

Turns out according to the Doctor on this site here:

http://www.yourdiabeticcat.com/index.html

That most shitty catfood, especially the dry biscuits, is loaded with sugar and over time screws up your cat. You can bring them back from the dead if you switch them to high protein catfood with no added sugar. Then they can control themselves (but will be sensitive to sugar).

SO IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAT - DONT FEED THEM DRY CAT BISCUITS WITH SUGAR.

I'm off home to force-feed 'our' cat a 250g bar of Fruit n Nut. After that I'm gonna replace her water with Lucozade. She WILL pay for clawing my brand new fucking leather sofa.

Friut & Nut and Lucazade, Must try that one Yummie...

They should spell it Loocozade because it tastes like piss.

woof.

Same here. Tinned curry... argh! I buy Noon Chicken Tikka Masala and Vegetable Masala from my local Rewe. I must say they taste good to me. They cost 2.59 Euros.

Well lets try and get to the bottom of that problem then.
Are they any good?


Game over. That is all you need to know.

Everything sold by Aldi is utter utter shite, and all tastes frigteningly similar. As another part of their "asian" range, Aldi also sell mini tacos. Tacos. Yep, blatantly "asian".
If your taste buds currently allow you to eat Aldi produce without any kind of gag reflex, I'm sure you'll enjoy these tins of curry. Might as well save yourself a few cents though (after all thats what Aldi is all about) and just forage for your own "wild" produce by carrying a super-doopah-poopah-scooper through the English garden for an hour or so.

If you have any idea of what things should taste like, then presumably you have already learnt to never ever go near one of these shithole excuses for a supermarket, and hence will never have the opportunity to find out.

Tinned curry? Probably won't be great.
Aldi produce? Never great.
Tinned curry from Aldi? Work it out.

Oh god, the stuff Aldi tries to pass off as Asian is vile. I can't understand why a country full of travel mad people can't broaden their tastebuds a bit or manage to recreate ethnic foods with at least SOME semblance of the original item.

I will say this, my cooking skills vastly improved after I moved to Germany. I just can't stomach most of the ready made stuff!

haha.. exactly what I thought..

Lost my interest after I got to 'Ready-made'.

And another reason not to eat them:

Heads of Environmental Health Services and Directors of Trading Standards will wish to be aware of a product recall by Aldi Stores Ltd of Bilash Premium Chicken Curry in 400g cans due to contamination of one of the ingredients with the illegal dye Sudan I "Aldi Bilash Premium Chicken Curry 400g"

this reminds me of the strassen fest in Muc Freiheit, there is a curry house there and they had a stand set up on the road too. while we all were looking for things to eat I thought curry was not a bad idea, it was cheap too. As I went up to the guy and said Hi and that curry sounded good, he quickly told me that they had run out of stock and that the items presently being sold were leftovers from the day before and that at least I should not eat them! He said the foreigners would never know the difference

so beware when curry cheap your stomach may weep!

Only if you bought them back in October 2003 dye warning.

pfff...dye! a little color will do you pasty people no harm

And why do they use dye? Because they aren't using any proper ingredients, so they have to try and do some cowboy repair job. I simply hate Aldi. They just sell cheap rubbish, and are even hailed and adored for doing so. Great for buying cheap toilet cleaner maybe, but not when its repackaged as foodstuff.
