American week at Aldi Süd, July 2-9, 2009 - Germany

Hello TT,

Just stopped by the Aldi's by my "crib" lol, and they have "American" week going on. I think it should be the same at every Aldi's around the area, so be sure to check it out. They dont' have much but they have hotdogs, peanut butter, bagels, sandwhich maker (cheap for only 8.99), jelly beans, BBQ Ketchup, and a few other thing. Do not expect to find name brand American products, it's not gonna happen.

Well anyway I just thought I'd share this information with anyone that might be interested.

Edeka at the Munich airport has lots of American products. Actual real ones plus a lot of other good stuff. I just bought Wishbone Blue Cheese dressing there and cheese whiz and ...

you got a link?, are they selling any relish?.

I really need to get my hands on some ranch dressing, I love ranch and they don't seem to have it here.

I was just there no Ranch, and no relish.

However I have found relish at Marktkauf. No where else yet unfortioanly. And only seen Ranch online. I have my family send me the seasoning mixes and mix it up myself.

However, as far as the aldi sale.

Hubby ate the forzen spare ribs and loved them

I bought the frozen tortilla wraps in chicken fajhita flavor and loved it I will have to go back for more, even better than lidl's

I also grabbed tortillas, bagels, peanut butter, ketchup mayo mix, blueberry muffins, hotdog buns, hotdogs, and cranberry juice. ( I will post feedback after they are consumed)

All items are listed on the sight including a donut maker, plus a variety of more food items.

Anyone ever found onion or blueberry bagels by any freak chance?

Nice one, cheers.

lol I forgot to look in the frozen section, I guess i'm going to have to do that tomorrow. were the ribs pork ribs? Why is it that every meet here seems to have pork in it, I do not eat pork and it's so tough to find good meat food outside of my house that do not have pork in it.

Alex by the Hauptmarkt has some great burgers, just though I'd throw that in. I know someone at the AIEO yesterday was asking about burgers, and I forgot about mentioning Alex's... This is in Nurnberg.

I do not know the website for Aldi's but i'm sure if you google it you might find it.

Frau Expaticus brought home spare ribs, tortilla wraps, pancake mix, cranberry juice, "popcorn shrimps" [sic], cookies & cream ice cream and some other stuff. Cases of it. There's a big box staged for the recycling center that says "Tortilla Wraps nach original amerikanischen Rezept" which is interesting because I always thought tortillas were originally from Mexico.

I must admit, in general the stuff isn't bad (as with all condiments and juices in Germany, leaning too much to the sweet side), but we had a bit of a row when I complained that I'm going to have to completely rearrange the pantry again and delivered my "why should Albrecht Discount's profit margins be inflated even more by them creating artificially contrived scarcity and outsourcing their warehousing and financing costs to 40 million german households?" speech, which went over like a bowl of sick.

Still, I fully expect at least 30% to end up with dust on top and get pitched in 2012 when we once again play the annual "what's that smell in the pantry?" game.

For sale on TT: Half a case of faded jarred balled mellons and 25 packs of asian noodles from some long-forgotten "Asia Week" with expiration dates from Bush II Term I.

I just checked the box and spare ribs do have pork as the first listed ingredient.

Not sure about the steaks though.

I forgot they have popcorn shrimp too.

yeah pork everywhere...OMG i'm watching CNN's exclusive video tape of Micheal Jackson's last rehearsal and it's just giving me chills. He would have done such a wonderful job on this tour and would have been LEGEN "wait for it" DARY. I really miss MJ wow this guy had so much talent. I'm still in mourning. Ok sorry for going off topic

lol I wonder if any of this stuff is actually from America lol seems like it's all German made.

You purposefully try and avoid anything to do with Jackson and his name pops up on a thread about Aldi Food. FFS.

I moved the topic to another section as it's actually available anywhere there is an Aldi Sud.

Doesn't appear on the Nord site.

Only aldi sud and of course german made.

Aldo Nord's sale was a week or two ago.

Wishbone ranch dressing can sometimes be found in really big Karstadt food halls, so might be worth a look.
You could have a go at making the stuff though. It's an absolute fat bomb... actually reading the various recipes I'm almost wondering if you could make a ranch-a-like by adding mayo and/or creme fraiche to a bottled buttermilk/yoghurt dressing? But to be honest I don't like ranch enough to try, sorry.

I actually had the "American" spare ribs for lunch today...

They (whatever German company is hocking their food as American) really need to step it up a notch, they absolutely sucked. No flavor, bland as a bean .. despite being labelled as 'bbq' but easy enough to warm heating only a few minutes in the oven.

I won't get fooled again and plan on sticking to 1) the real deal when i do take a fly over or 2) just be happy i have a father in law that kills at grilling and who makes a dry meat dressing to die for.

Shame on Aldi for promoting this stuff as American ... do they not realize Americans actually enjoy a host of exotic seasonings to taste ... take the hint.
