As we are rapidly approaching Christmas, I decided it would be a good time to try some festive fare.
Aldi's popularity has grown rapidly over the past 2 years or so. I believe the shop originated in Germany and now has numerous stores opened in the United Kingdom. They sell the usual supermarket food, plus unusual things such as diving gear!
Their frozen food section is extensive, and amongst this can be found the 4 bird roast. The packaging is very colourful, and has a festive air about it , a pre dominance of purple.
The cardboard box cover slides away to reveal the foil tray covered in cling film and underneath that, the bird (or should I say birds?) There are a few slices of bacon wrapped around the turkey.
The 4 birds in question are, duck, goose, chicken and turkey.
I would suggest cooking it from frozen to get the full flavour of the meat. Always remember to cover the tray with foil to avoid the roast burning,
It takes around 3 hours to cook, but you must remember to remove the foil half an hour before the end of cooking, because that is when you spread the meat with the cranberry glaze. Put it back in the oven for the final 30 minutes, et voila, you have a very tasty roast to enjoy. It would easily feed a family of four, and still have some leftovers.
Stuffing is supplied inside the meat, so you don't even need to buy that.
The price of this dish is £9.99, and in my opinion offers very good value for money.
My score out of 5
Would be 5. Well done Aldi, a very good value meal.
