Review: Aldi's Specially Selected Lobster Mac and Cheese
We did it, team - we found the very worst frozen meal. š
Aldi Specially Selected Lobster Mac and CheeseĀ
Buying this Lobster Mac and Cheese at Aldi was really, when you think about it, an act of hope.Ā
āOh la la, Lobster Mac and Cheese,ā I said out loud to everyone around me in the frozen food section. āWhat am I, the Queen of England?āĀ
(I bought it last month so please understand, it was much more appropriate to say things like that back then.)Ā
Even though I run a frozen food blog and really should know better, I think the $9 price tag on this one (.....) had me believing in a fantasy world - a world where Iād eat these wearing silk gloves, using a solid gold fork and knife, sitting at a real table instead of hovering over the sink like I normally do.
Instead, what I got was the single worst frozen meal I have ever had.Ā
Letās dive in.
Taste: 0/5
I began to suspect things would start going south with this one on about minute 7 in the microwave, when my kitchen suddenly had the overtly fishy smell of a back-alley discount aquarium - one that stores schools of fish in kiddie pools and lets you feed the dolphin bits of mozzarella sticks.Ā
The flavor was disturbingly sweet, with an aftertaste that can only be described as āthe flavor of food poisoning.āĀ
I tried to get Gramma, my cat, to take a sniff. Even she hated it, and her favorite food is a can of something called āTurkey and Cheddar Cheese Feast in Gravy.āĀ
Appearance: -a billion/5
Honestly, this Aldi Lobster Mac and Cheese belongs in a museum, but only a museum like:Ā
The Museum of the Worst Things in the WorldĀ
The William J. Henry Museum of Things You Definitely Donāt Want To EatĀ
The Medieval Torture Museum in St. Augustine, Florida
Overall: 0/5
The only way I would recommend you eat the Aldi Specially Selected Lobster Mac and Cheese is if youāre in some sort of Home Alone situation and the only way to escape the burglars is to feed them garbage.
Things Iāve Liked This Week!
Oh gosh, wouldnāt it be so embarrassing if I was like āmaybe you could follow my Instagram account where I post little lists of random things every day?? and then I linked to it here??? Anyway, itās called Little Lists of Everything and Iād love for you to check it out!
Iāve been obsessed with Amtrak lately. Itās such a boldly lawless land, one where the cafe serves Angus Burgers for breakfast and a 3-year-old kid dances in the aisle to music on their iPad at 7:30 am. Iām writing the newsletter from this exact situation and itās honestly perfect.
I canāt tell if this Waterloo Apple Cinnamon Seltzer is amazing or vile and I canāt stop chugging them.
I looked up reviews to see if I should spend the $9 on it. Unfortunately, after having read your thorough review, I'm even more curious about how awful this is...
But have you tried the Aldi baked clams which taste like Ariel found a new construction working beau to fill a clam shell full of breadcrumb colored sawdust? They are a part of this world.
