That supermarket has the best croquettes? Two content creators decided to test kibble from several establishments, including Aldi, Lidl and Mercadona. The verdict leaves no doubt: it is very conclusive and there is a clear winner.
The evaluation of kibbles from Aldi, Lidl and Mercadona
THE croquettes They are very popular in Spanish gastronomy. There are different types depending on the ingredients you prepare them with, such as ham, chicken, cod, etc. THE supermarkets They offer various options for frozen kibbles which facilitate their preparation. When choosing the best, it is essential to take into account a series of characteristics such as its texture and paste.
Content creators Virginia Molina and Rubén Vega They are known as “Forties Enjoyers” and already have over 51,000 followers on Instagram and over 5,000 subscribers on YouTube. In one of their videos, they made a comparison of ham croquettes. To do this, they purchased this product in different establishments including Aldi, Lidl and Mercadona.
One of the first pieces of information they reveal is that those from Lidl and Aldi have the same price and the same manufacturer. However, they emphasize that At Aldi, there is 11% ham and at Lidl, 12%.
The “Pleasant Quarantines” begin by taking stock of the Aldi ham croquettes. They claim it’s “artificial” and that béchamel has no creaminess. “The béchamel is super compact and I didn’t see any pieces of ham,” says Virginia Molina. They both agree that they didn’t like it.
Then the couple continues I tried the ones from Lidl. “It’s exactly the same as Aldi’s, but not creamy,” says Molina. They like the dough even less than the previous one because it is less crispy and the taste “is not pleasant”.
A very strong verdict
As you have seen, the opinion of these content creators regarding these Aldi and Lidl products This is not at all favorable. They wouldn’t recommend any of them and would consider them a cut below the rest.
In the video they also made a comparison with the croquettes from Carrefour, El Corte Inglés and La Cocina de Senén, the latter being his favorites. Among these, the creaminess of the béchamel stands out (“it looks like milk”) and the pieces of ham are strong and of good size.
They also regret that due to an oversight, they were not able to include the Dia supermarket kibbles in the comparison, while specifying that they would evaluate them in a later video.
