That joke was simply offal.
Anyone know if the Le Pave cheese will ever come back?
You mean does it repeat ?
Was good but not great. Or was it just me
I agree, but it’s a discount supermarket, most of the European products they sell are as you say. But accessible and cheap.
i agree not mouldy enough
Ive been waiting for months! Bloody covid
+1 from me , imported French food is always the best
Thanks mate!
You're right.
Last time I was in Paris I bought some imported Vegemite and it tasted much better…
Covid19?
Only goose foie Gras for me.
I think there's a bigger cruelty to animals issue with that than there is with this stuff posted here.
I have it on good authority (from a French person living in Oz) that this is completely authentic. Maybe not the top of the range that you'd get in France but equivalent to mid-range bought there.
Apparently you should never buy the pâté Aldi sells in the refrigerated section, which comes in little plastic tubs. It goes bad as soon as it's open. This one above lasts years in the glass jar in the cupboard and a fair while if you put it in the fridge after opening.
How to eat it. Should we cook or raw?
Spoon straight into your mouth, or on some crusty bread which will then go straight into ya mouth
I bought one of those plastic tub ones from aldi just the other day. Never have I had pate that was dry and crumbly like that. Borderline bland. Excessive amount of plastic used for the packaging. Never again.
Sounds terrifying! The leaving in cupboard for years bit!
FWIW had some Maggie Beer pate from Woolies the other day. Was surprisingly very tasty and I generally pass on pateI like me some Beer too.
I like me some Maggie too.
Given la bastide translates as the bastard I would not trust this brand.
bâtard = bastard
bastide = small country house
The meaning depends where you are in France
I'm from the south west of France (where most good French food comes from :))
I've tried that one before and it wasn't bad, especially for that price.
Ps: a bastide is fortified town built in medieval timesThanks you bastide!
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either?
To me that'd be pâté for emergency situations, when we run out of the really good stuff.
My 2-cent: the poultry liver last year wasn't as nice as the one of previous years. Much fattier and tended to go mouldy after a few days in the fridge once opened. I wondered if they changed providers.
The rillettes were still good, I will be buying a full year worth of it to last until Aldi offer them again ☺️
Obviously not as nice as the one you'd buy at the charcutier in the Pays de la Loire, but as my fellow Frenchman said above, not bad especially at this price.
Also they did change the labels this year. Not sure where they got that La Bastide from, but in previous year it was sold under their premium home brand, even though it was part of their special buys leading up to Christmas.
…where most good french food comes from…
bastide is always either a small countryside house or a small fortified village, nothing to do with illigitimate children.
The most famous would be aigues mortes and i believe dordogne/perigord is packed full of them.store bought pate is usually overly salted, i'd check the salt content before buying (otherwise rillettes and chicken liver pate is dead easy to make)
Cheaper here. But you do have to pay postage.

Pulled pork is basically pork rillettes
Is this actually a bargain?
Seeing as how it appears to have no weight indicated, it would be hard to ascertain the bargain worthiness of it. However there may be aficionados who consider it a great value just to have easy access. That's my guess.

The bastard?
I still have two jars of the Liverwurst from their Oktoberfest sale.
Where in an aldi will I be able to find this?
Probably in the middle specials aisle.
Staff at two stores in Canberra I visited said they've not received these, along with lots of other items they were expecting this week. Something to do with trouble at the ports? Picked up some German Liverwurst instead.
You should never buy pâté from a shop.
It's always best de-livered.
