So you should. Bread should be very short, with butter and olive oil as
shortening. (I was taught to make pizza by a native Italian. I worked in
the family - their family - ice-cream factory.)

Her youngest son saw my lunch one day - big round of pizza - and snarfed
a bit.

"Coo! Where did you get this?"

"Made it yesterday."

"It's better than my mother makes. Who taught you to make it?"

"Your mother."

"Er, don't tell her I said that..."

I do hope not - it would be a dull fireside without her!

Mine produce some fruit as big as the top joint of my little finger.

We use Lidl ciabata flour to make pizza dough.

Lidl in Barnstaple has dry cured bacon, and real German sausages too, not

Apparently they've got some good wine deals at present, too.

Marks have a good deal going at the moment too - 25% off 6 bottles - we
bought more of course g but we do enjoy wine from Laithwaites which we
have delivered - pure indulgence ;)

Laithwaites are *excellent*!

I don;t know what the UK threshold is but in Lidl NL any wine under about GBP4
is poor. Allowing for tax GBP 6 in UK?

I was told around £4 but I haven't tasted the stuff yet. ;-)

there and have a look. They're on the outskirts of Torquay.

We bought some good Bordeaux from Lidl last year.
One problem is that if you a buy a bottle to take home and try and it turns
out
to be good, the whole lot has sold before you can get back for more.
Since they sell more or less the same wine all over Europe, it's worth
comparing notes.

I'll do a web hunt for reviews, too. Good idea, thanks Martin.

In the Lidl in Issoire, they have Gailliac, a white wine. I was
introduced to this some years ago and it is a lovely day to day white
wine, but certainly not vin ordinaire. It is delicious chilled to
within an inch of its life. Lidl in France are selling it for 1 Euro
something, a similar wine in the UK would cost in the region of around
£8-9 per bottle. I don't know its keeping qualities, Edward is going
to ring one of the vinyards, if it is a keeper, we are going to put
down a few crates.

Martin, do you have the name of that particular Bordeaux? Lidl in
Issoire are selling Bordeaux for around 3 Euros today, if it is any
good, based on what you say, I will go and get some.

Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois Chateau D'Arsac 2004 and
Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois Chateau De Cach Cuvee Lagrave 2006

We noticed that not only is Lidl wine more expensive in UK than in NL, but also
that the same wine is younger.

I would put down for a while. I will get both, thank you.

They always seem to have the Shiraz. Comes with a (plastic) chrome label
with a Big Shiny Oz on it.

Their 2000 was the best so far, and I bought two cases of it, but it
wouldn't lay down...

Not tried LiDL's wines, and I drink very little these days, but ALDI
have a Baron St Jean red at about 4 GBP which suits me, because I like
light wines. Most folk would call it "thin", but it's very
inoffensive. ;-)

The white equivalent I find undrinkable, having tried a couple of
bottles.

They haven't, I telephoned, they have some Bordeaux but too young and

recommended.
