IT'S MASSIVE! New LAMB & MINT EXTRA LARGE BAKE Review! Aldi

[@grahambunton377]

For £3.50 this looks much better value than the Morrisons "festive" pizza

[@Jonny_The_Organism]

..and that piggy blankety Yorky puddy...

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

​@Jonny_The_Organism yes that was shocking value wasn't it

[@fifafan8673]

​@@BaldFoodieGuyI'm going 2 take ur word on this love my lamb and mint.

[@Graham-1888]

​@@BaldFoodieGuyMorrisons food used to be half decent but its pretty awful now, always good for their pies and butchers stuff but not now and their cafes have been shocking since covid, used to love a Morrisons breakfast but wouldn't go back now.

[@togawearer2799]

@@Graham-1888 Cream cakes and puddings, they have the market cornered.

[@gerrylewis5281]

This was a great item to review mate. At 600g it is easily a sharer and at £3.50 it’s a great price for a lamb product. Sometimes the mint overpowers the flavour of the lamb. It was nicely filled with meat and the pastry looked great. I would definitely buy this. Some baby potatoes, some broccoli and cauliflower and away you go.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes was a good one this was Gerry.

[@christianbuczko1481]

The real thing looked better than the pack picture. The fact it rose up and had air inside after cooking wasnt due to it starting that way, it swelled up to twice the original size and the pastry looked nice and flaky unlike the picture. Just a pity its lamb and not a steak&kidney instead.

[@coffeeguy6673]

snake and pigmy 😝

[@jaysmith2858]

I'll just have the steak if you don't mind. I hate offal such as kidneys and liver. 🤮

[@John-h7w6c]

All in all it looks lovely and has a good price point especially on a cold winters day

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

I totally agree!

[@iangregory9979]

Have to say. It's nice to see a bake not filled with slurry.

[@arthurvasey]

Or even a pie or pastie or pastry product that actually has loads of meat in and not mostly vegetables!

[@davidn3394]

Or curry

[@unysis212]

Definitely worth a go I’d say. Decent price but probably around an extra £1 to cook due to long cooking time. Nice one Gaz

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

24 pence on my meter

[@jshaw4757]

​​@@BaldFoodieGuyWas gonna say lol...I defrost everything these days almost half's your cooking time depending what your doing and I usually bung anything extra I can in there too 😁...random one mate I made a hob oven a while back just need big pot n put a tub off salt in the bottom and put a stand on top the salt too put your food on you wanna cook and put lid on and you got yourself a hob oven...gas is cheaper isn't it and your only heating the pot size rather than an oven size space...but yh give a go you ever get bored or for a video...I belive they use them in Africa a fair bit in places where they only have gas...cheers pal

[@juliawigger9796]

Try an air fryer.

[@joannapianna5016]

@@jshaw4757I’d have defrosted then cooked in the air fryer for 15 minutes on 180

[@ferrumignis]

That seems like pretty decent value, I see a trip to Aldi in my near future!

[@melanieruawai3363]

Hi Gareth, Good review. Thanks for the video. I am a NZer and you could be talking about Lance Cairns or Richard Hadlee? But, it won't surprise you to know that beef and lamb are two of our biggest export foods (you buy it, we'll sell it to you, Lol). We would never eat lamb wrapped in pastry here, though.

[@Dave2108]

Front of the box show you it cut in half, but on the rear it says "serves 3". Looks very well filled. Good price too.

[@jackuzi8252]

Looks amazing. I wish they sold that at Aldi in the US.

[@richardcoleman3425]

That looks (and sounds) really nice! Lamb is my favourite meat by a broad mile... But your point Gareth, about "why can't we have British Lamb?" sent me to Google... Apparently, we export nearly all of it. And then we import back from other sources slightly less than what went out.... Now, I'm an older man, and I probably drink too much, so anyone who knows better please feel free to correct me, but surely the Carbon Footprint/Global Warming Brigade should be screaming about this from the rooftops, shouldn't they? Surely there would be NO footprint if the meat just fed those in the country of origin? It's all just moved around to make someone some money... Why aren't our "social warriors" bleating about this, instead of blocking the roads so Nan can't get to the Hospital because of her plumbing trouble? Nice pasty, BTW. :).

[@lablackzed]

100% agree with you mate bloody clowns.👍

[@ianhawdon3680]

Totally agree mate somebodies making big money over this con

[@Kcii-99]

we sell ours cos its worth more abroad, we buy from abroad cos theirs is cheaper

The footprint stuff goes out of the window by big businesses when profits are involved.

[@togawearer2799]

Yo can never drink too much - corrected!

[@dans8158]

Definitely going to look for this, with some fluffy boiled potatoes and a big mound of swede and carrots. Great review.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@SimplySheilaB]

Oooooo now that looks yummy, I could easily share this with my daughter, we both love minty sauce ❤

[@zvonkobogdan9634]

This looks like something i'd share with my dog

[@SimplySheilaB]

@@zvonkobogdan9634 ooooo so would I but my 4 dogs don’t share so I’d probably not get a look in 🤣

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Weird how this bigger item feeds only two but the smaller thing with the sausages and yorkshire supposedly fed four. Aldi certainly have some weird ideas on serving sizes 😀

[@saxon-mt5by]

I agree that looks suitable for two, but the pack suggested Serves Three.

[@EgoShredder]

@@saxon-mt5by Yep 1 serving is 454kcal if I recall from the video, and so add some mashed potato, veg and gravy and you have a 800-900kcal meal for £2 or less. Not bad value, very filling and reasonably healthy.

[@bobstanden6788]

Looks good, love lamb and mint. Lucky you.

[@stewartgovan1672]

Hi Gareth, everything about that looked really good. Decent size, nice deep fill. Pastry looked nice too. My only gripe is them using lamb from New Zealand. We have some of the best meat here. I can't understand it. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@notmanynamesleft]

New Zealand lamb is cheaper

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Stewart 😊

[@GrrMeister]

Depends on the Season = New Zealand is Upside Down - Don't understand how they Hang On !

[@johntims2416]

Looked at them this morning got to say great review as i thought they would of been the normal half empty pastry . look really tasty shame they do not come in pack of 2 .

[@nickybayton8332]

Just buy 2 😂

[@Thrillhouse89]

Just in from work, sit down with a cuppa and theres a brand new bald foodie review. The simple things in life

[@jpgoat5488]

Be fair it looks lush, bit like a lamb strudel! Thinking it would do a nice easy dinner for over Christmas 😋

[@Alan-r2v9s]

That is a fantastic looking slice . Well done Aldi ,enjoy.👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@spaceted3977]

That Pie looks Lovely !!! The sugar is in the Mint Sauce !!!

[@chriscringle7740]

Add some peas and potatoes for a meal, looks nice

[@Sigma1_969]

I really like lamb... I'm gonna have lamb chops tonight, with rosemary garlic roast potatoes and red/yellow/green peppers and red onions...

[@KevinJones-qp9er]

Now that looks worth it I must say I'll be trying this . Great review. Spot on !!!!!

[@kathrinemccann.6397]

The same people make a steak and kidney pie for Aldi and it is really good. In my opinion better than Pukka. I'd like to see what you'd make of it. Trust you implicitly. Thanks Gareth.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Oh must look out for it thank you.

[@keepgoing1973]

Looks a decent slice.

[@dingnextstop]

Decent price Gareth…. I paid £3.50 for an “individual pie” at Tesco couple days ago… eating as we speak and it’s sort of ok but more pastry than filling 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brianbarber4070]

Well you got me trying, and liking dumpling topped pie, so I might have to give this a try now.

[@sallychandler7859]

I like the look of that. Not a silly price and a sharer 😊

[@hummadruz]

OK there Lambsey! (It's the Wolf 😂😂) I remember when Greggs pasties were that big...or were my hands smaller?🤔

[@john9508]

That looks great and plenty to to get stuck into, will have to look out for one of those. Looks like range stew with a lid 😄

[@user-hf7jp2lt5x]

I feel a trip to Aldi coming on. Good suggestion of new potatoes and carrots . You’ll be the death of my diet 😂

Enjoy 😉

[@brianeastman9074]

Hi Gareth great review again.May have missed it earlier but what is the cooker/ oven you are using please 👍

[@Yorkmedia1]

For 3.50p is good value for money that would feed two people with mash veg and gravy good honest food review as always Gareth

[@petechambers541]

Ok ..you've convinced me to buy one ..that looks delicious, some sweetcorn and coleslaw on the side

[@oldskoolpaul77]

Great for a cold day!

[@johncahill9215]

Hi, Here in the West of Ireland we also have extra large Lamb , we call them Sheep. I often see people chasing them around the Hills and wild areas, Don't know why they don't have a sheep Dog. That large Bake looks very good, ideal snack for a person of my size. With Chips , peas and Diet Coke ( Healthy Option to wash down the 4 grams of Salt and 1500 Calories ) 🐑🐑🐑😁

[@davidbowie2046]

Looks lovely that Gareth, but why didn't they do two smaller pasties?

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good point that's what I thought they were.

[@Steggioni]

Must watch at least one of these videos daily. Always either make me hungry or give us a right good laugh. Proper sound bloke, keep doing your thing baldy! All the best from Yorkshire

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad you enjoyed

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Looks 😋, would have with ravioli again lol.. hope u and wife enjoyed 👍

[@wildthing6668813]

Water is used in making the pastry and the gravy so it's why the first in the list of contents is water.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers for the information 👍

[@andrewsmith5457]

The water will make the base gravy so probably why it’s the biggest ingredient. Decent size for the price and worth a chance on the plate.

[@jpgoat5488]

Serving suggestion: On a roof tile with a sprig of mint 😂

[@tinasmith1259]

I love a bit of lamb, it so expensive now i don't have it very often but this looks good and 600g will be a good amount for two. Me and other half will be having this on Sunday with some cream mash tates, spring cabbage and onion gravy mmmmmm . Thanks for the review Gaz .

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

You're welcome 😊

[@tinasmith1259]

Yes from Morrisons, it's one of my favourite vegetables , i don't care when i have it 😁@@riddimchef1

[@_indrid_cold_]

Well, what a pleasant surprise! I hope you realise what a fantastic service you are providing here, Gareth? You have tried stuff that I, personally, would have ran a mile from, but you have also highlighted stuff that I would have been borderline on - and shown that some of it can be pretty good. Really appreciate your channel and more power to you!

Plate of chips and mushy peas with half of that pie and oh yes,nearly forgot bread and butter...

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Oh yes mate

[@ianthomas1060]

Looks nice that. Mini Rant : If we can all try to cut our palm oil shopping bit by bit, it will help the serious issues of animal and plant extinction. The oil itself isn't bad, it is the way it is grown. Deforestation and death of too many animals and extinction in cases or putting animals close to extinction. It's hard to avoid it, but if you can, please try to avoid it.

[@juliemacefield3307]

Definitely going to give that a go very good value for the price 😋

i would wolf that down, love lamb, looks like a lot more than 23% lamb as you say, that's enough for 2 people easily, Lamb is actually quite expensive , thanks for sharing Gareth

[@brianwakely9977]

I know you don't comment because you think I'm criticizing but As a retired butcher the leg of the lamb is always the leanest but not necessarily the tastiest the shoulder has more fat content but much more flavor and taste 👌

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Brian

[@darrenknaggs9113]

Hello Gaz.Hope You and Family are all well Mate.Some Good Welsh Lamb needed in that.We do a Good Welsh Oggie which is basically a Giant Cornish Pasty but with Lamb and Leek.I like Lamb and Mint but I find the Burgers very Sweet tasting.
