BBQ planned?

[bruno22rf]

Just a suggestion if you are planning on a BBQ this w/end - Aldi are selling "Bad Dog" Chilli Cheese Dogs at £1.99 / 4 that are rather pleasant - you will need to fry them first maybe then finish on the BBQ but don't read the Fat or Salt content on the packet .

Think I had them last year. They were lovely. Not blow your head off hot but a nice warmth. Same as asda did jumbo Newyork style sausages but discontinued around august. Just when you want them. ******

So Aldi sold out of both the Chilli Dogs and the Wagyu beef burgers in one day (10 cases of each!! - even the store manager missed out) but hot on their heels are the new Jamaican Jerk Sausages that were delivered yesterday, just tried them and they are superb but you will need to be quick.

Their 30-day Aberdeen Angus ribeyes are excellent value. £4.50 each at the moment, I believe.

Really good marbling on some of them if you flick through the box, and, although they are a bit thinner than I would like, they cook very nicely indeed.

I make sure I get them out of the fridge and out of the packets for at least a couple of hours to allow them to come up to room temp. Make sure they are nice and dry, and give them a rub all over with a very generous amount of beef dripping, salt and pepper.

I blast them on the hottest part of the BBQ for just a couple of minutes each side, before resting them on a board for a few minutes.

Lovely stuff.

I paid nearly double for locally-reared dry-aged ribeye steaks from a butcher a fortnight ago (they were thicker, but no bigger in diameter), and they were honestly no better than the Aldi ones.
