They seem to have that nearly all the time. It's not bad, but not a patch on proper English ale, which they also have from the to time. Seems quite odd that it's not included this week.
Anyway, we shall stop in later, as we're going down that way to get some new bedding for the next apartement now nearly ready for rental.
Have to go to over to the next canton, mind, as Valais is closed today for some stupid holiday. I guess Vaud must be protestant, also has better shop opening hours in general.
This stuff (fish as well as chips) is all in one bag?
Then what would I do with it - pick it apart and toss it into oil? Ah, while I'm writing I realize I can probably just put it in oil all together
What kind of fish is this, if they sell it for 6.99 per kilo? (now that question came from the Swiss part within me ).
I just love fish&chips and miss it badly, but why does this bag not appeal to me? Where am I thinking wrong? I'll be more than happy to be convinced otherwise - before the week/offer is over.
I think (from previous times I've had it) that it can all go straight in the oven, pre-fried as it is. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if refrying was not recommended.
The packet is labelled with the fish type, Seelachs something, so Sea Salmon, I assume. Cod it ain't, proper fish and chips it ain't. An acceptable substitute for the lazy? Just about, although having said that the versions I've had in the past we're a different fish, colin or ones of the other cheap white fish, so who knows?
Edit: looking at the item on the website, the picture I get says "Alaska Pollock", in English, whatever that actually is.
My Lidl had everything apart from the marmalade that I went especially for. 😖 I did buy the fudge, shortbread, salt and vinegar sticks and fake Ribena though.
Not really sure about this Assumption holiday thing today. Some shops are open here, but others aren’t.
The Stilton was ok but far from great, I’m sure the cheddar will be equally mediocre. For me, American week is only exciting for the maple syrup and British week for the cheese, both only ok at best in quality but hey, at least they make an effort. I was really disappointed by the sad offerings of Aldi for gluten free week this year, being a celiac; to top it off, the one thing I did try made me sick. Lidl put on a better show but most of the products were sold out after the first day in my area.
Our whole canton is catholic. What’s open and what isn’t doesn’t make sense to my simple mind. Hornbach and Bau und Hobby are shut. Seedamm Center is shut. Seems butchers and others are shut. But, Coops are open, Lidl is open.
If you want good cheddar or British cheese generally , just go to the British Cheese Centre. It’s better than pretty much every cheesemonger in the UK
ETA I see you’re in Freibourg. It’s still worth a trip.
