NEW Herta JUMBOS Vs ALDI 10 Frankfurters Food Review

[@Dreamweaver787]

To add a bit of extra taste to these I boil them, than in the same pan as the fried onions I then add the sausage to brown them a bit, taste even better.

[@1aberbeeg]

Love watching you get in a knot but fair play you recover so well. Keep going with the reviews, I find them so helpful, even the slip ups. 😊

Just reminded me of the Spam and onion bap I had yesterday. I sell at car boot and catering girl was over generous with the onions. Definitely a very windy evening. I generally prefer red onions. Herta sausages have been around forever in the UK. I'd still say original and best.

try wrapping the aldi hotdogs in bacon and grill them. glaze with bbq sauce if you like that an it adds to the flavor and texture, really nice. The aldi hotdogs are great value imo.

[@horrowfide]

Worth keeping an eye on Heron's, they often get Herta dogs in for really cheap..!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers will do

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Does Heron stock Mayflower frozen meals like beef curry or special fried rice? Normally I get these from farmfoods, but it's a longer shopping trip.

[@andyotoole3485]

Just came to post this, you can often get them in the heron, 2 packs for £1. Practically lived on them at one point 😂. Haven't seen them for a while though, sadly.

[@Stewart.T]

I used to have the posh dogs from M&S until I found a load of bones in them. Never bought them since.

[@adrianwood4661]

I remember the 10X was 99p and very tasty enjoy your meal

[@Radfordperson]

I stopped buying the Aldi ones when the price increased from 99p to nearly double.

[@alexandrasmith7682]

Technically, you don't fry the onions for hotdog, you steam them. In the US, you can buy "sweet white" onions and they are not as pungent and work beautifully. Depending on the State you are in, some use plain mustard but others use a mustard pickle. Husband is American and will only eat the Hertz - typical Southern boy he likes his smothered with chilli. Maybe another meal try out for you! Bun, hotdog, lashings of meat chilli, smothered with grated cheese. Enjoy!

[@kazali6111]

We fry everything in uk lol healthy

[@alexandrasmith7682]

Well ...... Friend of ours is the Director of a Food Processing facility in the UK. We were chatting one evening after dinner and he said this .... "Easy to spot the lower income/working class in many Western countries because virtually everything they eat is fried". In the case of France, UK, and US I think that is true ..... Italy? Everything was simply loads of pasta. I would however, also say that Brits love their pastry/pies regardless of social background!!

[@SuperLittleTyke]

The Herta sausages are French (FR). They contain a lot more "dodgy" ingredients than the Aldi ones. I still prefer Lidl Bockwurst, though. I also fry some onions when I prepare a hotdog.

[@TheCho-k4m]

You have good taste, the LIDL Bocks are excellent and very high pork content.

[@jameskrell4392]

I doubt they contain more dodgy ingredients. French meat is often higher welfare than ours, you only have to taste their flavousome pork against our tasteless supermarket pork. I agree about the Lidl bockwurst though. Lidl dosen’t trade on imitation or trying to copy.

[@john07973]

@@jameskrell4392 I think they are referring to all the crap ingredients added in the French factory not specifically the couple of percent less French meat. Aldi are German made not as you put it tasteless UK pork.

Love em, but £2.19to £3.69 over the last year.... Sheeez. :).

@@jameskrell4392 The list is longer on the Herta sausages package. Germany has much stricter rules regulating the contents of sausages than either France or Britain. Try buying Richmond sausages in Germany!

[@barrieking5939]

Instead of putting them in water Gareth, next time try em in t'owd air fryer. Did mine for about 4/5 mins and they were lovely. Nice with onion rings too !

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I heat mine sous vide. Vacuum seal them, then place them in not too hot water for 20 minutes. This method keeps the flavours in.

[@TheCho-k4m]

Yep, I airfry mine as well, adds to the flavour.

I would have to add 2 of those skinny hotdogs in the bun to make up the ratio. Otherwise too much bread to chomp through 😂

[@judefrazier4727]

Over here ( US ) we have so many different hot dogs, there must be thousands, the grocery stores here in the East usually offer around fifteen different varieties including the Maine reds

[@petersmith6974]

Hot dog vendor carts in Toronto run 24/7 in downtown. Toppings are,sauerkraut,raw onions,gherkins,corn relish,ketchup,mustard,hot dog relish (green),mayonnaise,bacon bits. Buy your hotdog and top it yourself from the choices in tubs.

[@susancjones213]

My husband who is American swears the Herta are the closest thing you can get over here to an American hot dog 🌭 the Aldi ones are good in a pinch but the Herta are the best. Usually only buy them when they are on offer to be fair and then put a couple of packs in the freezer 👍🏻 Good video again Gareth 👍🏻

as someone who works in the food production industry i would guess both of these brands came out of the same factory, most companies do this these days including the one i work for. the recipes are usualy not that different but the supermarket own brand are usualy way cheaper for almost the same product you get from the named brand.

[@uglenddalejones2]

Awesome 🙌👌🔥👏🏻👏🏻 I have recently preferred herta,because of the flavour.so,this new jumbo version is interesting me. Another to try gar,is morliny original hotdog sausages- you’ll find them in the fridge section among the world foods. And cooking the onions in a bit of lard gives it another epic edge. Loved this.brilliant

[@TheAdArchive]

I really struggle with mass produced hotdogs like that. They were alright when I was 15 but now I’m 50 I just would never buy them. Especially when there are loads of gourmet hot dog sausages out there. Nice review dude, and happy Easter.

Great video Gareth tea sorted for tonight ill go Aldi after work 👍

[@Grentastic]

Hey Gaz, I love your videos.... I watch them all the time and they provide some really good insight into comparisons and recommendations. I have to say though, you often say "I'm all over the place".... this time you kind of were. A really good pair of products to compare, but your comparison......using different bread, different condiments (onions on one, none on the other).. I'm afraid the water between bites doesn't mean anything on this one. I'm sorry to sound negative, I promise my message is just an honest one to highlight my surprise and it's probably because you are generally SO fastidious in making sure the comparison is so fair (water between tastes, for example). Still enjoyed the video, as always. Keep up the great work mate :)

[@DamonSlater]

Try Dino's famous big dogs. Proper american style humongous meaty hot dogs. And do them american style so grill them rather than boil them. Throw into a soft, warmed brioche roll with mustard - Dijon is best but american works well - throw in some soft fried onions - not cremated like in the video - and chopped up vinegared pickles and jalapenos.

[@ianm2170]

A bit unfair that one has all the onions [and yes, they are a must]. Either way, German food designation standards require that "Frankfurters" must be all pork, so they both got that right. It's very dissapointing when you look at the ingredients and they've thrown in chicken too 'cos it's cheaper. Good review, as always.

[@HouseOldSkoolRaver]

[@leonskum.5682]

I've been buying Hertas for many years now but the last couple of times, I've noticed a change. I always griddle them so they get a nice char on them and the amount of water coming out of them is ridiculous. They also don't get that 'bite' that you used to get with them and have noticeably less flavour. Think I'll try the alternatives from now on.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

I remember eating franks and potato salad from a stall in Hamburg in the late 1960s. The ones they sell now are nothing like they used to be back them. I miss the crack of biting through the skin, and having the "juice" run out.

German food standards for meats in Frankfurters and other sausages are actually pretty high. Aldi's were German, Herta were French.

Mechanically recovered meat plus bollocks anuses snouts intestines in fact anything from the pig carcass can legally be described as ‘meat’-add chemical E numbers and cheapo spices/herbs for flavouring and you’ve got yourself a legal heart attack on a plate, no wonder the NHS is overloaded!!

I wish American style beef hotdogs were more common in the UK. You can get them but not in any of the big supermarkets and I'm not sure why.

They even had beef salami but no beef hotdogs.
