I’ll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So…Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

    Lidl is better for almost anything. I used to be a hardcore Aldi (Nord) loyalist until Lidl started having a very good vegan selection and better hummus. A couple years ago I probably could’ve named something I miss from Aldi, but at the moment I genuinely can’t think of anything except that I remember their selection of local-cuisine-themed sweets to have a slightly better selection. When they had a Spanish week some months ago they had Almendrados, which is something I’ve never seen a Lidl carry.

    But I think this highly depends on where you shop and what you need/are expecting a discounter to carry.

        Agreed, but the Ras El Hanout flavor one is edible and tasty if you’re not expecting it to taste like hummus.

      In the Netherlands we only have Aldi Nord (didn’t know about Sud before I went to germany), and have visited them less and less over the years. Lidl has been expanding a lot the last 10-15 years and I am becoming more and more a loyalist. Aldi (Nord) to me is really losing the game in my eyes.
