Would this be suitable for an Anaconda?
my Anaconda?
Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun.
Made in France with rich butter and fresh eggs
I call BS…
I call BS on your claims of BS
im pretty amazed how they are already cheaper than Colesowrth, yet make them even cheaper
What's the diff between 'rich' butter and 'poor' or 'middle-class' butter then?
Wouldn't have guessed!
Upbringing.
Rich butter would be pepe saya or Beurre d’Isigny. - $9 - $10 for 200g.
Middle class butter would be your Lurpak. - $6 for 200g.
Poor butter would be your Western Star / Coles butter, if you can even call it butter.. - $2.50 - $3 for 200g.
real question here: as someone who basically only uses poverty butter… what is the different between these different types of butter? i'm assuming all of them have the same minimum cream content etc.. what actually makes the fancy butter better?
p.s. i can't afford to buy them to test them out yet… ;)
@osaya: Here in Australia our tastes are different.. we now want spreadable butter which is cut with vegetable oils and fats.
Real butter is almost white in colour not a blatant yellow colour.
It's a bit like the honey debate.. it's adultered to keep costs down.
As for Beurre d’Isigny, it's only made in one region in France, so you can't replicate that taste as the cows feed on pastures in that region, that is exclusive to them. It's like how sourdough in San Francisco can only have that taste if it's made in San Francisco due to certain yeast and bacteria in the air.
@osaya: I'll add that French butter is smooth, has no salt (unless specifically salted) and the best ones are handmade, or "recette traditionnelle".
Enjoy!
@[Deactivated]: The irony of how we claim that we have the best croissant in the world (Lune Fitzroy, Victoria), but still rely on French imports to make something that involves roughly 5 ingredients.
No wonder the government imposed so many taxations to prevent French wines from flooding the Aussie market. No wonder Australia is one of the few countries that do not have a Free Trade Agreement with France, but does have a AU-CN FTA.
@Jojo-Ma: I wonder if that's why french champagne is $80 a bottle here, because of the tax?
Such as Verve, Tattinger etc.
@OzzyBrak: Yes, they called it the sin tax; excise. This is a lazy way of ripping everyone off.
Let's just be conservative, assuming 80% of our population being savvy, sane, and are responsible drinkers; let's just say 10-20% of population have some degree of alcohol abuse issues. Why punish the majority 80%?The same goes for tobacco smokers. Why punish high achievers that would sometimes want to enjoy a stogie after achieving a milestone? I don't smoke but I kinda miss the time when people were able to buy a pack of cigarettes for $10-15.
Dude Coles got in legal trouble for literally importing all their "fresh baked" bread loaves from Ireland.
Somehow it was cheaper to ship stupid bread loaves on bunker fuel burning container ships than to actually make the dough locally.
The frozen broccoli/cauliflower/potato bakes from Aldi? Those are made in Belgium. Which is over 17,000 Km's by boat.
Minimum wage in Belgium is around €11-12 per hour (likely more in production jobs with unions) which is around $18-19 AUD.
The modern globalised economy makes no sense what-so-ever.
Baked goods make no sense! Like belgian waffles too, really? Packaged in separate plastic bags. But sadly where do we draw the line as a civilisation. Asparagus from Mexico sounds wrong, but wine and cheese from France is ok? Until economics factors in externalities like pollution, no one will care man.
Mexican spinach sounds right.
Tasted good though… Better than normal supermarket brand bread.
The 'Belgian' broccoli is only processed there and quite often imported from cheaper countries before final processing. Also the minimum wage doesn't really mean much if you can use undocumented migrants to pick your crop. Sure it's illegal, but who is going to check?
Reminds me of farmed fish somewhere in the world, to be processed in China.
i think it has to do with production equipment - as you know Australia isnt exactly famous for manufacturing much nowadays
Frozen dough. Defrosted and cut into shape and baked in Australia.
That explanation could be slightly wrong, but it gives you a rough idea of things.
and the supermarkets still make lots of dough with this business model
I believe they come frozen and are defrosted on the self.
I wonder if they bake them in france too or send frozen discs ready to be baked here.
Made with eggs and suitable for vegetarians ?
Yes, not vegans though
Suitable for both, GET IT IN YA!
Tough crowd
Suitable for vegetarians
Not all vegetarians, just the lacto-ovo vegetarians…
Why the (profanity) do we import buns from France? Don't we have wheat and bakers here?
?
I thought that all bread sold in this country is imported from France?
Oui?
Only the french know how to slice them apparently.
You laugh but I get these for the pre-sliced. I don't want to pack a proper sharp breadknife when out and I loath messed up squashed bread from a shitty knife.
Coles and Woolies are SLEEPING on the pre-sliced market. Wake up people!
Same reason I buy them. I'm originally from a country that slices the buns for you and when I moved here a decade ago I was like wtf is this shit, I'm meant to cut these myself?
Same reasons why we buy german cars, french wine, American whiskey etc…We do have everything here.
We don't make cars any more…
@SupeNintendoChalmers: Those designs would make Mitsuoka blush.
Adelaide makes the Brabham BT62, but it's a tad expensive.
Reserve your ACE Yewt for the special, promotional price of $199 instead of $480 for the first 30 reserved!
How come nobody's reported this as a deal on OzB?
And you wonder why..
Because remember the butter shortages?
We also don't have skilled bakers in French techniques.
Yep! Bread isn't bread here…
Mind you… Still it's progress as 30 years ago you could only get the white paper "bread" toast and I had mates cutting off the "crust"…
Supermarkets killed them off years ago due to them being about $30 an hour.
Bakers delight exploit and pay $20 an hour.
Bought last week, really good for the price
These buns shit on any fast food buns, get the sesame ones tho even better
Darn right!
What about Huxtaburger though?
Never tried huxtaburger, but they're miles ahead of nandos, grilled, betty's burgers
Very similar bun to huxtaburger maybe a bit smaller.
They also freeze and defrost in the oven, and come out like freshly baked.
These are really good. Bacon and an egg between these buns makes for a great weekend breakfast.
Can't be fresh if it's really imported all the way from France.
It doesn't say fresh bun
The odd thing about these buns is that they don't go off. Perhaps they are irradiated?
They'd have to say if they were. From FSANZ Food Standard 1.5.3:
How can I tell if food has been irradiated?
A food that has been irradiated, or food that contains irradiated ingredients or components, must be labelled to show that the food, ingredients or components have been treated with ionising radiation.
If the food is not normally required to be labelled such as fresh fruit and vegetables, then the required labelling must be displayed close to the food.
The international Radura symbol (below) may be used in addition to the mandatory labelling.Could be a bit like the Twinkie. Where something about it, probably the sugar, keeps it from spoiling.
Possibly. It's not the healthiest thing that's for sure.
I thought these were always $1.99…
Croissants 3pk also reduced from $2.19 to $1.99 (colesworth $2.50 but about 10% more grams per pack)
These buns are good but they are too tiny.
- No artificial colours or flavours
- No preservatives
These most likely come via shipping lane which can take up to 45 days. I wonder how they do it?
Buns are baked on ship
"Fresh frozen", then defrosted and sold within a few days. Generally not suitable for refreezing (makes them go hard/stale most of the time).
im really surprised they dont have preservatives
they def not sold within a few days the ones i bought off the shelves have a couple weeks used by date on them atleastWe need inspector Clouseau on this case asap.
I refreeze mine all the time without issue.
They are frozen during delivery. It says not suitable for re freezing on the pack but I've been doing that with them for years and they come out just as good
How do you know you haven't lost 20 IQ points over the years from re-freezing poisoning?
Becoz I dun froze dem good
These are really good, we buy a pack almost every week! I alternate between the 4 burger buns or 6 hot-dog buns.
Have you had Coles ones?
Was disappointed, same deal frozen and defrosted in store. Tasted stake and were small size.
Will give these a tryThese are far superior to the Coles burger buns
Coles charcoal ones are really good
Buy in bulk and put in the freezer. They defrost the same or a light spray with canola oil and in the toaster or on the pan for a bit for a great crunch.
Yeah these are great, only issue is the local cafes also use them and purchase much of the local Aldi stock. Also swear these Woolworths ones are the exact same (just under different branding) but sell them for $5 https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/803943/bri…
No they are not the same imo. I like to make burgers and have every brand I've seen available. The aldi ones are my favourite.
Can only speak from my experience, I had to purchase the woolworths ones because Aldi were out of stock, they seemed identical
Ah fair enough. Yea if I had to choose a second option, the ww ones are a good substitute.
Where do you get meat patties the right size for them.
Make own patties or reshape pre-made ones
I reckon they're the exact same, as someone mentioned above the dough is made in France, shipped over here in bulk where they're baked, sliced & wrapped.
How Aldi sell them for half the price of Woolies and still make money makes my brain hurt. And how it couldn't be cheaper to make the dough here hurts it even more!
The best brioche buns around. Best for burgers and also egg and bacon rolls. Yum
These are so good with fried chicken to balance the oiliness (although fattier lol). I'd always bone out some KFC meat and add some lettuce into these.
For people who wants locally supplied, Costco buns in QLD are all from local bakeries last time I checked.
This might sound like a stupid question, but do Costco do delivery's, food ect.
I know there is one in Bris, and im on the Goldcoast an currently don't have a car, and have wondered if they ever did.
These buns are practically lollies, so much sugar in these brioche buns. Taste real good tho
If it wasn't for these Aldi brioche buns we would still be getting charged double elsewhere. Pretty much like most of Aldi's products.
Are we really putting $0.50c as a bargain?
Sorry, no.
Would a 20% discount be considered a better bargain compared to a 10% off ebay discount that always makes its way to the main page?
tiger bread is the best, coles version, these Aldi ones taste a bit fake
the fact that they are made in France made me feel sick. how much preservatives would it have to stay looking fresh…
same with their brioche loaves
buy some brioche buns from your local baker and support them instead.No.1 rule of French cooking - if in doubt add butter.
Note that French butter is generally from grass-fed cows a bit like NZ butter - it's generally more yellow, slight higher in fat and to me tastes richer/better.
Made in France
with 100% Chinese ingredients?
