Now I recognise that I am a funny beggar when it comes to which food goes with what.
Quiche with salad.....no.
On its own, with chips or baked potato. But not salad.
I also can't face runny egg and baked beans together.
I know its me

Oh dear - I think that I have made a big mistake! As in about 2 kg worth...
I usually buy Lidl's el cheapo non-bio washing powder. I was almost out of it after putting on today's wash so I intended to buy some more, but it was out of stock when I looked in Lidl at lunchtime. I called it at Aldi after that and bought a product that I thought would be near enough identical. It definitely is NOT...
I haven't done a wash yet with the new powder, and am seriously considering not using it at all. I am sitting in my living room and my nose is twitching. It slowly dawned on me that there is an unfamiliar and irritating smell in the house - it is from the new washing powder on the far side of the kitchen. I haven't even opened the box yet but I can smell it from 10 metres away with a closed door between it and me!
The Lidl powder does have a smell but I can tolerate it. This Aldi stuff is ridiculously over-perfumed though. Why do companies think that we need to have every product stinky to the max, on steroids?
It's like food products with added sugar and/or salt. A little bit of either, maybe, but they just throw masses at us. Whatever happened to 'subtle' or even 'natural'?
[Actually, I recently discovered that both stores do simple peanut butter with nothing in the jar except mashed peanuts, so they can do it when they want to!]
If it is dry later I might pop back to Aldi with the powder and ask if can exchange it for something unperfumed or get a refund. Annoyingly, I declined my receipt so I don't have proof of purchase. They may have some way of using my card details to check recent purchases, but is it worth the hassle?

Actually, 2.6 kg worth!
I have decided not to be a cheapskate - it was only £2.99... I can't stand the pong of this stuff so I won't use it, but obviously somebody out there must like it or Aldi wouldn't sell it. (Relying on people accidentally buying things that they don't like wouldn't be good business sense!
)I'll put it in the charity box after the checkouts and buy the usual from Lidl once they have it back in stock. I have enough Lidl powder left for one, maybe two more washes.

If the smell is that strong, how good is it at actually getting things clean.Actually, 2.6 kg worth!

Beans on brown toast, poached egg on top, brown sauce, black pepper. A cyclist's dream. What's not to like?

.I just cannot enjoy runny egg with beans.
And as for sauce on it
