ALDI SMOKEY BBQ RIBS Vs ASDA SMOKEY BBQ RIBS | FOOD REVIEW | COMPARISON

[@nicktheegg]

My partner asked me at the weekend if i wanted to try Vegetarianism. I told her i would think about it. After watching this video, i have decided... I'm off to Aldi to get me some ribs!! Nice one Gareth, all the best to you mate.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

haha good idea.

[@tommykarate5126]

Find a new partner fast 😂

[@mrsapplez2007]

Good lad

[@silverlady1118]

LOL 😂

[@jameskrell4392]

I tried it for six months once, as much as I like animals I ended up feeling unsatisfied all the time. Sorry but there is no substitute for Bacon.

[@kenquid8091]

I get the ribs from Lidl and they're good too. I take the bones out and put them on a bun with some thick home made chips and onion rings. Gorgeous. To think butchers used to give them away when I was a kid.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Ken😋😋👍

[@wobber999]

Ribs from the butchers are quite cheap, I have made my own marinade with liquid smoke honey and sea salt and fresh ground black pepper ooh so tasty

[@jamesbowskill362]

Yes...small but very nice......Try the Costco ones for a change.

[@KakarotOwns]

Can't believe this is 1 year ago now, 2022 flew by.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes time flies 👍

[@derbyjohn972]

Cracking review Gareth. Oh the ASDA ones looked rough at the beginning 🤢🤢

[@calibrax]

I always cook them for about 10 mins longer than the instructions to crisp them on the edges. and after I put the sauce on I sprinkle them with brown sugar and put them under the grill until the sugar caramelises and starts to crisp up. Lovely crunchy, sweet, smoky ribs!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Great tips pal, thank you.

[@johndavis7944]

Nice! 👍🤤😀

[@alistairgalt6529]

Nice tip! I hadn't thought of that, I'll try it out, cheers 👍

[@raphaelandrews3617]

what a cleaver idea using sugar caramelise them. thanks for that.

[@Colin623]

Sounds appealing but not that healthy adding sugar, but I find they are sweet enough as they are, but then I'm not into sugary things these days, the waistline would rapidly expand if I went down that road 😄😄

[@menopausalbarbie7467]

I could easily scoff both of them too! Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha cheers Barbie 😋👍

[@12309.]

Crazy! Nine months on and the Asda ones are now a pound more or two for £8 at the moment. The Aldi ones are now £4.49. Usually most things have disappeared after all this time and replaced by something else. Another great video, thanks.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for the info!

[@JonnyHyperbole2090]

Aldi does an incredible bag of boneless ribs with the fat and meat seperated so when you cook them they merge together in wonderful bbq/gravy sauce. I'd highly recommend them if ya see them stocked.

sounds good not seen them.

!00% asda smoky bbq ribs for me i have them most saturday's , but with Chips and coleslaw , Great Review Gareth 👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good choice! cheers Gaz.

[@paul67]

Would have been interesting to weigh both lots of bones when you had finished just to see how much meat you actually got from them both.

[@martinparker9249]

yeah that would be cool !

[@mrkphilippines1194]

I love ribs, They both look amazing Gareth.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Half-way through I rewound to the start so that I could check which was Aldi and which was ASDA. The ASDA ribs looked more insipid as they came out of the box, but looked a lot better after being dowsed with the BBQ sauce. However, for me, Aldi is a lot closer.

[@qrogueuk]

Not had ribs for a long time, now I want some.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

enjoy

[@nolavout9094]

Were they both sourced from outside UK?

[@jaguar5665]

BFG…..there is never a bonkers review. You save us 100s of £ by taking the time and energy to do these reviews. The only issue is I wish I didn’t live in Manchester and was round the corner so I’d get some samples. 😍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

I appreciate that!

[@Matt19matt19]

Asda do some other ones that are in an offer for 3 for£8. They're slightly smaller but not by much.. you can see why they put them in boxes you can't see into. Neither looked appetising straight out the box. Asda have a really good range of other stuff too in similar boxes.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Matt.

[@robertlindop9365]

Brilliant review gareth I absolutely love BBQ ribs i have not had the asda ones but have had the aldi ones on many occasions and 50 pence difference is not that much it's hard to find a can of coke for that price 👍👍🐷🐷

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes it all adds up though doesn't it. Aldi ones were yummy. Both were really. Cheers pal.

[@TonyAlloa]

So, either one is as good as the other. I think if you like ribs that's a good result. You seemed a little bit down that you couldn't come to a conclusion, but the look on your face as you were eating said that you were the winner. Good review sir. Nice one

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha cheers Tony, yes they were lovely. Cheers 👍😋😋

[@carolinebedford9836]

Hi Baldie food guy, I'm looking forward to watching your channel about the ribs review, as I have found that the only place I I have found where you get a decent amount of meat on the ribs is the Beefeater restaurant, maybe I could recreate the Beefeater dish. 😋

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@johnwhyte1488]

Hi Tickle Monster!!! Sincerely hope your toe gets better soon pal. Both racks looked good to me Gareth and I like how the meat fell off the bone. I've never had any of these, however; I would have any of them, they both looked delicious. Another crackin' and funny review. Keep it up, looking forward to Friday, getting my beers in, cheers pal.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha cheers John, yes the foot is slowly on the mend. I will never grow up lol. See you Friday 😋👍👍👍

[@karlos55555]

A real 'rib tickler' that one Gareth! Big rib fan here mate, you can't go wrong with these ribs wherever they're from, Lidl do a nice rib too. VFM is the key here and if there's not much diff between them all get the cheapest 💪

[@davevansega1771]

I wonder what they taste like without b q sauce ,would be interesting?Sauces hide the quality of the meat sometimes.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

good idea Dave.

[@RabbieGrouse]

Gareth, although the Aldi ribs were 46p cheaper than the Asda ribs, they took 15minutes extra cooking time, which I don't how much money that would equate to, but with energy costs increasing, I think it is worth taking into account as well as the convenience of Asda only taking 2 thirds of the time it takes the Aldi ribs to cook for.

Afternoon rib master....you have to bear in mind that these are your baby back type of ribs that are as you can see are shorter in length ...but this variant are sold as "ribs" in many places..but if you get Chinese ribs from a typical takeaway they're more like spare ribs...but they're pricier....now I wholeheartedly am in your corner of looking for bargains getting more punch for your pennies and pounds ( I trademark that phrase) lol.....but if you get a chance do a comparison between the fresh butcher counters of supermarkets and their comparative spare ribs...par boil them cover in spices (Chinese 5 spice or a bbq rub or sauce) then oven roast or from fresh just marinade in spices and then fully just oven roast coating in sauce afterwards...you'll be in for a treat. Anyways good "infotainment" 👍 as usual

ENERGY SAVING TIP: Don't preheat your oven! When the oven is up to temperature, you'll lose heat when you open the door to put the food in! ...... What I do is put the food in from cold, then time the cooking from when the oven is up to temperature. Also, my oven doesn't have a light inside, and I don't open the door during cooking, instead I shine a torch in to check cooking progress! ...... I avoid using the oven where possible, as they're real energy guzzlers! I reckon my energy Direct Debit is set to DOUBLE, due to soaring energy prices!
