new members and a promise to review more bad stuff...

the joy of lidl has some new members. peter has yet to post anything, claiming the lack of a convenient lidl in newcastle for his (and david's) lack of posts. tony, however, has begun his lidling the way it should be done: with a review and a glass of lidl asti. well the lidl asti is really to celebrate my birthday today, but it's definitely the finest accompaniment to a joy of lidl post.

in any case, this afternoon's office conversation (tony has joined paul and i in the pabbay suite) has strayed into the need to taste more bad stuff for this blog. you see, whenever we pay a visit to lidl, we always select something that we think we're going to like. indeed, we walk past all the dubious looking tinned goods near the door and head for the more promising looking produce. occassionally we stray upon something horrible (like wednesday's prosecco adventure), but usually we pick something that tastes quite nice.

clearly this is to misrepresent the range of lidl products. so from now on we pledge to taste unpromising looking tins of stuff. paul has stated his intention to taste the tinned salad nicoise on various occassions, and he seemed keen on some tinned ravioli bolognaise that we passed in the (abnormally long) queue today. so, from now one, expect some far less positive reviews (remember haggis' fruit salad experience). of course, we might even be surprised and actually enjoy some of the stuff...
