Hey @Force_majeure122@aussie.zone have you tried these from Aldi? They've got a very nice kick to them. Highly recommend.

I've tried the curry pineapple one and love it but it's mild and sweet.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll have to try it! Also the game on tonight is AUS vs PAK. It should be good.

I’m def going to be watching it. Since no work tomorrow maybe I’ll be insane and stay up for the whole thing.

What are your plans?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll try and watch as much as I can.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Ditto! I’ll be sleeping in tomorrow. That’s for sure.

That's herring I believe, but yeh it's yum

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Oh damn. I didn’t look properly.

You are correct good sir.

A whole tin of these is only 761 kj - and that is 50% protein. Hmm... I'll need to investigate.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a few flavours to choose from.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There were! But that chilli one sounded great. I had a lovely decadent lunch:

Verdict: delicious, but a bit too decadent. I think I'd try a flavour that wasn't oily next time. Over 2,000kj in total for lunch - but it was all in the flat bread and sardines. The rest was rounding on those two.

I have not! I'll keep my eye out next time I'm at Aldi. I normally source my fishies elsewhere because aldi never has any in olive oil which is my preference.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Ooooo. You are in for a treat my friend. Make sure you get a bit of bread to soak up the chilli oil. Delicious.
