Haven't been here in ages. Still have a fishmongers, everything on ice. Good to see, I remember these.


Got home and made a quick tester for tomorrow's sea bream starter accompaniment; very nice.

Christmas menu sorted! Kashmiri lamb chops (mini bbq). Got the bottles from a local Asian shop. Just out of date. 20 p each. Pani puri (Golgappa) from the same place. No way I would even attempt to make these baubles from scratch. Inviting disaster.

Haven't tried it yet. Arrived yesterday. This is the mix powder that Steven Heap recommends on his YouTube channel.



Plan a chicken curry first, then madras/vindaloo.

If anyone is interested, it's Ramadan week at Lidl from Thursday.
Spices, rice, flour etc. on sale.

I wish my nearest Aldi was a bit closer. Could do with some more dark soy. I wonder if they do Kikkoman or Chinese brands. Found out before Christmas that the supermarket own brands and Amoy, Asia, etc., are absolutely rubbish quality. 10 % soy, if you are lucky. The rest is caramel and chemicals. Kikkoman is proper fermented soy.

This is Lidl, I don't get to Aldi. Next time they have a Taste of Asia week I'll have a look, sometimes they have proper brand names, not just their own.

Thanks Martin. I am always confusing Aldi with Lidl :)

Have a bottle of the Xmas Limited Edition Kikkoman somewhere, but I can't find it.
