British / Irish week

at Lidls starts Thurs 28th....

Off there Friday Angie. Hope still some Cheddar left.
Also have been to the Asian shop, the veggie samosas are excellent. Pity they do not have chicken or lamb versions.
Also,if you are interested, there is a frozen fish shop in Amandola that has just opened. It is in the small market square, just below the bakers.

They certainly used to have chicken samosas, but not today, just got some spicy Mexican chicken today though !

V .......

Good luck on your cheddar hunt tomorrow Geo...Shame about no chicken or lamb samosas but I will try the veggie ones from the Asian shop...Maybe a good idea to ask them when they will be getting them in...I was told they would source and supply whatever you want ?  The Frozen fish shop sounds interesting too...Thx.

No Cheddar Angie .
V, checked in the Asian shop and they reckon they will have the chicken and lamb ones in again at the end of August, as warehouse is closed for the holidays. Most time I have spent in there and they do have a very good range.

I too visited Lidls yesterday (Friday) but no cheddar to be found, someone must have a stash in their fridge....Remember one person saying they emptied the shelf of 30 blocks once, thoughtful eh !  Good news re the chicken and lamb samosas will be back again at the end of August in the Asian shop, looking forward to that but will leave some for you and V...it's a good shop and staff helpful.....Now all I need is a cheap source of chicken, doggie is now on a chicken diet, well a few little biscs thrown in, but she is not keen on biscs so chicken it must be !

Angie.
For the chicken for the doggie, try the place on the road from Gualdo to Sarnano. It is on the left hand side with a large sign outside showing a chicken!!! We used to buy kilos of the wings from them, which were mainly rejected for sale to the shops.

Where does one find the "Asian shop?"

thanks,
Fred

Thx Geo, Have passed the chicken place many times but never ventured in....Will give it a go.....Doggie will be happy !!

4:46am Angie!  A very early morning or a very late night? 

Ghiro, Don't know why, but computer always flags up the wrong time, no late nights for me but mornings usually start early......5.30  ! something to do with our 4 legged friends...

If you click on 'Profile' then 'Preference' and scroll down you'll find, towards the bottom, 'Time Zone'.  If you find you're currently in Latvia you can change it! 

Our problem is getting our 4 legged friends to wake up in the morning!

If you go past the back of the Lidl / Simply complex on the right hand side, then it is on the left before the next exit. Otherwise, pass the initial Lidl entrance on the main road and take the next entry, 1st left/left again and follow the road round. Shop is on your right hand side.

Angie: Asian shop has Dijon mustard. Top right shelf from the fresh vegetables and in large jars!!!!

Thanks for the info. Since we live in Lunigiana, it is a bit far to travel for "Asian shopping." You are fortunate to have such a resource.

Fred, there is very little choice of Asian foods in Northern Tuscany, but I have heard that there is a place in Lucca which has a good number of items. I have not been there to investigate, but here you are 

We go there quite often (it's close to the Japanese Sushi Restaurant we frequent) not a bad choice of 'Asian stuff' and Heinz Beans and Marmite available along with other UK delicacies, think the Video is a bit aged as it has changed somewhat form that now.

Gala,
Thanks for the info. Next time we are in that area will give it a try. There is a shop just up the street from the Pisa train depot that carries some spices and other Asian food products.

Euro Spin sell Cheddar

yes, pas55 but I have only found the thin slices....Lidls were selling the blocks.....of tasty cheddar.

Esselunga also sell the cheddar slices and they are made in England.

It is true. Esselunga at Marlia has a very good selection of imported cheese.

No Esselunga near to us....sigh !
