Lunch Mate Cooked Ham Review – An Aldi Branded Product

I have reviewed quite a few products found at Aldi, a global grocery retailer that focuses on value-priced items.

This product… Continue reading Lunch Mate Cooked Ham Review – An Aldi Branded Product

Appleton Farms Ham Review

I’ve written about Appleton Farms products before;  it’s the in-house brand that Aldi has.  This is about their “Butt Portion Bone In Ham Water Added.”  To me, it’s significant that “water added” is part of the main product description, and in the ingredients you’ll find a host of “salts.”  Salt + water = brine = increased… Continue reading Appleton Farms Ham Review
