@Alastair Pink, Well it's certainly cold enough to sit outside for the full alpine experience.

@Yoda,
 Could survive a month in a crevasse on one Germknödel.

Imagine what a nice pair of Germknödels could do for you!

@Alastair Pink, Wow!
Can’t wait to get to grips with those. Any particular drink you recommend with them?

If you're referring to the Germknödel then it's a yeast dumpling with a plum jam filling. Traditionally served with melted butter, but I find that too rich so prefer it with custard (Vanillesosse/Vanillesauce in German or in your preferred French "crème anglaise" )

@Alastair Pink, so that’s how the Lidl staff will be dressed next Thursday. I’ll be queuing outside before opening time.
Yes I’ve had too many Germknödels for my own good and also prefer a vanilla sauce.
I’d have to take 5 minutes and a palate cleansing sorbet before returning to beer swigging I think.
Well done to Lidl anyway, even if no Germknödel, and good heads up thanks.

@Alastair Pink, if you run out of Lidl Franziskaner it's always available from Tesco. Usually 3for2.

We went for an Alpine taste tonight as commiseration after hitting the cheese aisle HARD at the supermarket.

I decided to make kaiserscmarrn for breakfast.
Coated with cinnamon sugar to serve.
Lot of effort.

Bump! I was at my local Lidl at 8am when they opened. I stocked up on plenty of their Alpine food on offer, spent just over £30. I wasn't the only one buying the Alpine food, I noticed a lady shopper was stocking up on schnitzels and apfelstrudel.

Yep, having an Alpine night tomorrow night to celebrate my birthday. Wife duly went down to Lidl this morning early. The only dissapointment was the food was all over the place. There wasnt just one "specials" area.

They're just trying to help you burn off the excess calories from all that Alpine indulgence!!

@jafa, I am glad the frozen items were not stacked along with the beer. There is always going to need to be separation, but in the sections it was all ;together; and labelled well in the Lidl we visited today (Swallwell, near Newcastle).
The only thing we wanted and could not find was Leberkäse. Has anyone seen any in another Lidl - preferably near us

I cannot ever get the Rosti to taste like the real stuff - I recall with enormous pleasure, many years ago, eating an amazing one on the terrace of the former Hotel Eiger in Wengen

The Lidl I went to in Derby had Leberkäse (OK I know it's nowhere near Newcastle). I bought 2 packs, one standard and one coarse (i.e not so uniform consistency). £1.99 each for 800gm.

@Alastair Pink, which section did you find it in - we had a good look through the chilled cabinets in general - was it along with the other chilled special items ?

Yes it was in the chilled section next to the Bratwurst, Spätzli, alpine cheese etc (not the frozen section, that's where the schnitzels and apfelstrudel were).
Here's a photo of the 2 packs I bought, top one was the standard Leberkäse, the lower one was the coarse version. Both 800gm packs consisted of two 400gm sections, each section containing 3 slices.

I got a good haul earlier! In a taste test, the own brand Weissbier is not too bad. Kids are very happy with the wafer things and the sausages look good. I went for pork knuckle over leberkase and dodged currywurst. I bought a spaetzle press last week for kaseknocken and it works a treat. Well done Lidl!

Bagged a few of the food items yesterday, which I’m pleased with. One store had a much bigger queue to get in than usual, so I gave up on that.
The Taste of the Alps specials seemed scattered around and not very well promoted or highlighted at all. It was a bit like a Treasure Hunt to find them. Tricky when we’re being encouraged to go in, keep moving one way, then get out.
The main disappointment was that none of the 3 local ones I visited had any of the Weissbier. Who is hogging it all?
