Home chef Merna claims Aldi’s best kept secret spanakopita tastes BETTER than traditional pastry

A home chef has described Aldi’s $6.99 spanakopita as the chain’s ‘best kept secret’.

Merna, from Sydney, shared a now-viral TikTok video showing the supermarket’s budget product she can’t get enough of from the freezer aisle.

In a glowing food review, she insisted the store-bought Greek savoury pastry tastes better than the traditional homemade version.

‘I’m going to share a little secret with you, and it’s this spanakopita from Aldi and it’s made in Greece,’ Merna said.

She said the instructions to bake the pastry is ‘so easy’ to follow.

‘I start of by pre-heating my oven, fan forced at 180 degrees Celsius. And then you take the spanakopita out [of the box], leave it in the aluminium tray, pop it into the oven. It’s going in for about 40 minutes,’ Merna said.

‘Honestly, this is Aldi’s best kept secret. I usually hoard boxes of these.

‘It’s beautiful, buttery and crunchy on the outside, and you’ve got this gorgeous spinach and ricotta mix on the inside, it’s so fun to eat.

‘This is one of those rare times I think store bought is so much better than homemade… Anyway, you’ll thank me, trust me. Yum…’

Her video has since been viewed more than 37,000 times, with many claiming it tastes just as good as the authentic spanakopita.

‘They are the best. Not worth me making,’ one said, while another added: ‘I buy these all the time, best I’ve had and great price.’

Another woman claimed: ‘I sprinkle sesame seeds on top and pretend I made it.’ 

Other fans responded to her post, with one person saying: ‘Why did you show this? Everyone is going to take them now,’ while another added: ‘Don’t tell everyone.’

Merna responded, saying: ‘ Too late. But they are too good not to share, I want everyone to enjoy them.’ 

Many said they struggle to get their hands on the product because they always sell out as soon as it hits the freezers. 

‘I love it. But it’s so hard to find them in the Aldi stores near me. They are delicious,’ one person said, while another added: ‘It’s the best but it sells out almost as soon as it hits Aldi freezers.’

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. — Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...

Australians likely to return to 1970s living, drive ins and camping in wake of coronavirus crisis

NewsColony Australians likely to return to 1970s living, drive ins and camping in wake of coronavirus crisis The coronavirus pandemic could see Australians reverting to a simpler life with entertainment from earlier eras as priorities shift, experts said.  With cinemas, night clubs and foreign travel out of the question for many months, families have been forced to enjoy more wholesome fun – these values which could persist long after lockdown restrictions are lifted. Families have been enjoying spending time together over board games, learning new skills such as baking and crafts, and reverting back to traditional family values.  Even after coronavirus restrictions are lifted, with no effective treatment or vaccine available for COVID-19, life is unlikely to be the same with strict social distancing provisions still in place.  This is likely to see Australians embrace a way of living with more in common with the 1970s than 2020, with drive-in cinemas, board g...
