    Aldi exists in the U.S. too, I've driven past a few here and there. The only thing I really know about them is that they're one of the two and a half companies in the U.S. that isn't neurotic about employees "looking lazy" and will actually let cashiers sit down while doing their jobs for which being on their feet should not be required. Which every company should do, but like I say... Americans are neurotic about employees "looking lazy."

      Unfortunately it's a part of retail life in the UK too. My current employer follows the American practice of cancelling holidays at 4hrs notice, getting you to work two shifts for free on your holiday and doesn't pay redundancies just hits employees with disciplinaries until they can legitimately fire them or fire for not being flexible enough. Such is retail life in the UK

    I visited an Aldi here in the United States for the first time a few weeks ago. It was also the first time I had ever seen a cashier sitting down, which is actually quite nice for them. I do wonder how long they'll last in this area (they had just recently showed up a few years ago in my neck of the desert and are very, very scattered), considering the insistence by most American shoppers that all employees are standing up at all times.
    I'll definitely be back. I didn't get much there as I just wanted to visit, but I got a chocolate bar and liked it enough to want another.
    This is amusing--the different kinds of these wraps are really American-inspired, with the chicken tikka wrap being the only one that isn't based on a staple American dish. What he described as "Sweet Chilli Chicken" sounds like an attempt at Thai sweet chili sauce, which I'm guessing is pretty poorly executed compared to the genuine thing. (None of these combinations are standard burrito fillings though.)
    By the way, some sandwiches ARE meant to be heated, then eaten cold. The pepperoni roll is one of them (by which I mean American pepperoni, the sausage). They're everywhere in West Virginia.

Have a sausage dinner one night, fry all the sausages off, save some for the next day. Cut them up, throw them in the beans, cook beans and put them in the wrap. You will IMMEDIATELY have a better meal than the bean and sausage wrap. It's not even more expensive overall as the sausages are basically leftovers, the beans can be too! It's wild.

    Funnily enough, when he cut into that final wrap, i was thinking "that looks exactly like someone's smeared the inside of the wrap with some Sharwood's sweet and sour sauce and then thrown half a handful of cubed chicken at it".
    I don't know why Sharwood's exactly, other than that's what my mum used to buy. Should really be Aldi own brand, if it's the same colour anyway. The appearance was pretty much dead on for that... Far too orange, too much veg and not enough sesame seeds for typical sweet chili sauce.
    As for the tikka, its probably actually korma. Or Generic Tinned Curry, which tends to run a bit sweet.
    The mind boggles at how you can manage to make sausage and bean with no flavour. I've actually had damn near tasteless meatballs and allegedly tomato sauce before, but sausage and bean can usually be relied on to taste of SOMETHING.
    The price and storage life was a shocker too. I'd actively consider these if they were maybe 69p each and could be kept in the freezer (though I'm sure I've seen ambient storable microwaveable wraps before), as they'd still only need about five minutes to cook. A pound, and live in the fridge for just a week? I'll pass. Be rather more likely to buy their basic ramen-type noodles, even though those are no longer the absolute cheapest option for something you can pretend is a meal (asda undercut them some time ago, and you're much better off buying the own brand beans instead in both cases).
    I wonder if we can estimate how much of the price is labour and/or markup? Get a couple packs of their plain tortillas, a tin of basic beans and a pack of lowest grade sausages (or whatever ingredients are needed for the others if you'd prefer to do that), and make up as many as you can with the same fill level of these. Add up the price of the filling and however much the wraps you actually used would be, and divide by the number you made... Bet it won't be more than 25p apiece.

    Okay so, was watching this video and as soon as Ashens goes to microwave the first wrap - I immediately get a Bible ad.

      Most industrial chicken tikka things have that look to them, including Greggs', especially under blue tinged filming lights. They're not really meant for close examination, just shove it in your face with your eyes shut.
