​ should have charged you more for extra protein... Seriously the odd crawly one would expect from anything grown... Whatever you do don't ever get an allotment...
It shocks me how Sheeple expect every food source so sanitised these days...

We got some last weekend 2 days later they were thrown in the bin as they had gone off, this is the second time this has happened so I won't be buying them again from lidl. The fruit and veg in lidl and aldi doesn't last no where near as long as it does in the major supermarkets

Wong post.This should be posted under FREEBIES section.:neutral_face:

Unless they on british then they taste beep

good price have some heat :smile:

Won't be buying from them again found a small slug in a pack last year.

British?

Surely it's a bit early for genuine non-forced tasty strawberries ? If you close your eyes will you even know it's a strawberry, as they usually just taste very watery now.

Bought some strawberries from Lidl today. Did not check country of origin. Washed them before eating as would all outdoor fruit, having found insects in packs from other shops/supermarkets. Tasted lovely, not watery. Best I have bought this year.

Grow your own from heritage seeds and you will never go back to the GM filth you all buy in the supermarkets

I was going to report to Lidl head office as how they keep fruit & veg which are supposed to be refrigerated out in the open. Last week when Celery was on 'Pick Of The Week' they just kept it with other items. The same with strawberry. Because of this improper storage most fruit and veg (which are supposed to be refrigerated) from Lidl and Aldi go off quickly. I never had any issues with items which they had properly refrigerated.

Bought some that looked really good in the shop, but when I got them home, I found them mouldy.

Waste of money. Eat them in the shop, cos they wont be any good by the time you get them home.

Support UK farmers and avoid this deal

I bought a punnet of strawbs from Lidl a couple of weeks back, they looked the part but boy were they bland, I'll pass.

You can't beat a home grown British strawberry imo but tastes subjective so each to their own.

It's all about the price on HotUK not taste ...so, voting hot :smile:

Woah there! Don't you go letting facts get in the way of a good uninformed rant!! :wink:

Time to start the 1st strawberry wine of the year :sunglasses:

"Sheeple " - love it!
Duly added to my lexicon.

Will never buy fruit from lidl again. Ive had maggots in a peach, a full punnet of strawberry with mould on the bottom and rancid smelling tangerines! Shame as its the closest shop to me.

It's absolutely amazing how many unsubstantiated reports of how bad Lidl and Aldi products are on any of their deal threads that are posted.
I have been using both companies for years and have never had anything but praise for their no nonsense approach and product quality unlike Asda and Morrison’s both of which I try to avoid unless going for branded products. Sometimes the multi-buy items are to good to miss.

I recall that broccoli from spain when it was checked a few years ago had levels of certain chemicals above what we permit in the UK. But generally i would wash broccoli very well as u can see some residue run off in the water when u rinse it. Strawberries i would rinse well as they are among the dirty dozen of produce with the most pesticides.

Also there is no horse meat in Tesco burgers since they're not labelled as such.

As for the perfectly safe preservatives I'd like to remind you that the same scientific community used to tell us that it's absolutely fine to build your house with asbestos and 8 out of 10 doctors smoked Marlboro cigarettes for their health benefits.

So yeah, there's that.

So are apples, peaches and nectarines, but these are washed before distribution like all fruit, and most of the other stuff on the list is usually washed before consumption, along with this stupid bit of information we don't have outbreaks of food poisoning every year from people consuming these products.

Just bought some this morning in Dumfries. Got home and half are rotten!

Much as I like Aldi I just will not buy strawberries expect if farmed locally, preferably still warm from the sun on them. They should be a treat, best eaten extremely fresh, not shipped over from who knows where.

There are always rotten ones in the packs when ever I've looked at them in my local Lidl.I buy from elsewhere

No sell by dates or class of product labelled.

That's how Aldi and lidl getaway with selling so cheaply

As someone who shops in ALL the supermarkets (luckily we have all in short distance) you will find virtually all strawberries are now of the variety where the stalk is like some solid mass, hard to remove. Years ago, strawberry (BRITISH) stalks used to virtually pull out with no effort. WTF have they done to them? I've tried all, inc M&S (expensive), Waitrose (expensive - 375 gm just like the Lidl ones are 2 quid!!! - Lidl is 500gms for 89p. Someone is ripping off here!). Sainsburys are the same strawberries too. Doesn't matter if from Spain or UK ...WHY are they not like the 'old' sweet juicy strawberries? Is it GM? Nothing would surprise me. Money to be made, business will make it at your expense.
Anyhow, I'll still be buying the Lidl ones tomorrow. They won't go mouldy, they won't last long enough! Plus, check them before you buy.
Think I'll be growing my own again, really don't like this new strain of strawberry. I'll eat them, but they are NOT in the same class of old.

I've never seen a best before date on an apple so why are people worried about a best before date on a strawberry, as others have said they don't last long enough to go rotten, unless you listen to those rotten liars.

You seem to have missed the point...

Most Lidl stores have 2-3 of deliveries of fruit + veg a week. I would rather pick the most recent stock than one that has been sitting on the shelf for 3+ days.

In theory at least, it should be fresher and last longer.

They are being sold right now - I bought some a few days ago. Price was £1.55 and they were crap.

Lidl have daily deliveries of produce, unless the warehouse messes up, according to a friend who works there.

The same scientific community also told us smoking is bad and to excercise often. Let's not confuse tobacco company marketing with consensus. Hindsight's a wonderful thing. :wink:

That depends on the size and turnover of the store.

Source?

Area Manager.

The area manager is wrong, I used to be a delivery driver.

Was that during the peak of your career?

Unnecessary,

No the peak of my career was in the forces protecting the country for t**ssers like you. God only knows why.

Wow, small world.... Which regiment where you part of?

Had some of these they were good. Not the sweetest, but fresh enough. I've seen strawberries in the major stores too that have a fare few rotters as well. They rot faster if you crush them or store them inadequately.

Ava strawberry, don't mind if I do.

You were there were you?

with cream...

Brought 2 punnets of strawberries from lidl on Saturday they were in the bin on Sunday. ROTTEN. Shall not be buying from there again.
