Aldi shoppers divided over $10.99 dinner 'slab': 'Fed two of us, will buy again'
"I'm questioning the monstrosity currently baking away in my oven..."
Aldi fans have been left intrigued by one shopper's dinner purchase, after they shared a frozen meal they bought from the grocery store that sparked great concern... at least until before it was cooked.
An Aldi shopper uploaded what the product looked like fresh from the box, with many people jumping into the comment section to debate if it was a health hazard, citing the salmon and broccoli lasagne looked 'mouldy'.
"So um... I'm questioning the monstrosity currently baking away in my oven..." the user posted."Bad lighting but these layers are giving me some strange trifle vibes. Hoping it's as delicious as people are saying and that it looks more like the picture on the box when it comes out!"
Aldi shoppers left 'intrigued and disgusted' by oven item
The photos provided didn't paint a good picture, with people saying they were "intrigued and disgusted" at the same time.
"I’m here for the end results coz that looks mouldy," one person wrote, with someone else adding it looked like a "mouldy cake". "Haha that looks hilarious. I need to know how it is. I’m glad you are doing it first," someone else laughed.

With many people eagerly awaiting the update, it was good news in the end. "Edited to add: It was delicious - We'll be getting that again! An absolute slab but fed two of us very nicely.

"I'm going to Aldi tomorrow, I will get for sure," one convinced fan said. "I would buy again," another person agreed.
