BrownEyedGal Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I agree with jasepom.. I really like the bacon here..none of that white curdly stuff comes out when frying, (well very little) and I like the taste. My only problem is I can't get it crispy..unless I have the grill on high. Maybe because I like back bacon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Re Aldi- I figure the Germans are pretty good at the bacon and ham products. I think Aldi must be really challenging Coles and Big W and good for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosiew Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Given that Fosters is that second highest selling beer in the UK, it might be fair to say that you think a fair bit of the beer in the UK is shite too....:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sterilised artificially carbonated beer is shite so much of the Beer in the Uk is indeed shite......and many of us would not touch the stuff......but the UK has a very wide range of proper real ale which Australia does not have. Sounds like you know very little about beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pob Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 As for the beer I brought loads of beer and got my wife to open them and did a blind tasting. I do enjoy a drink, but find myself drinking beer that has a substandard taste or buying beer and it costing $19 a bottle and feeling guilty at drinking such an expensive beer. So I gave up beer. Even in America you can get a decent beer in the supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Get a 6pack of little creatures. Will cost about 17 dollars and its good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiew Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Actually I know an awful lot about beer. I was not trying to infer that YOU drank Fosters or thought it was a good beer. In fact it is tragic that in a land where good beer is easy to come by, so many people fell for the marketing that got Fosters where it is today. You will be pleased to know that on this year's consumption figures bitter at least is making a comeback in the UK - a small step... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pob Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Get a 6pack of little creatures. Will cost about 17 dollars and its good stuff Tried it. It is one of the better ones, but it has a sharp aftertaste and a slight lime cordial taste as well. Not for me. I really enjoy white beer and Belgian beers. A standard bottle of Leffe is $19 and I cannot find any decent white beer here, I like Edleweiss and Paulander. I would even drink Blue Moon as well, but never enjoyed a Hoegarden that much.

At least in the Uk you get the choice at a reasonable price. Prices for microbrewery beers here is ridiculous.....often around $15 a schooner sized bottle.

Prices for microbrewery beers here is ridiculous.....often around $15 a schooner sized bottle. I paid $9 for a "large" at the Green Beacon in Newstead which was bigger than a schooner and slightly smaller than a pint (at a guess) New one just opened round the corner called Newstead Brewing i'll try this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need to go on a beer holiday in Victoria where we may have a bit more competition keeping the prices reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
