I remember making fun of Lidl’s British Week in Germany, but can’t remember actually making a recommendation. Still, I seem to have put someone’s back up:
HATERWORDS*SALT AND VINEGRE STICKS*EX LIDL
Englaender sind ja bekannt, dass diese weder kochen koennen , noch von kueche etwas
verstehen. Alles fuer den SCHWEINETROGHaette ich wissen muessen, als ich mir diesen Dreck bei Lidl gekauft habe.
Schde um die 2 eur….was fuer ein schweinedreck. igitt und ab in die muelltonne
adios
It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. Could it have been a lawyer? The first word of the header is a variation on Hatherwoods.
Actually, I do think crisps already impregnated with vinegar taste very strange. In my youth we used to get the little bag of salt in blue paper to put on them, but nowadays all the flavourings are added in advance.
Those salt and vinegar sticks are a delicacy in this household, and not just for the British-born.
I can imagine they’re not a taste everyone will acquire, though.
I haven’t actually tried them. This was a Spanish person, apparently. Don’t know if they have British week in Spain. Lidl’s website is ‘under construction’ at the moment.
Hi, I remember the little blue bags of salt in the Smiths crisps. Open blue bag, tip contents into crisp packet and shake around. But not too much, because the “hot spots” with too much salt were the best bits!
Perhaps you would be interested in the new craze “Malt Salt”. Here’s an article in the Guardian:

Thank you!
Where would I be without German lawyers who correct everything immediately?
