It's not that I won't give you editing. Doing so means I gotta make you a mod of the forum. And everyone who has ever been made a mod has left. Except pinback and Aardvark.

I don't want to seal your doom, pal. In fact, some would say that by not giving you edit perms, it's a far greater expression of appreciation th-- hello?

If it makes you feel any better, I made up the part about gaining editing privileges...also, Sizzler overcooked my steak a little bit.

And as far as writing the next great American novel, most Americans are illiterate and wouldn't even be able to read it anyways. Just write something with a lot of dick jokes, keep it below the 3rd grade level, and you will be our nation's next poet laureate before you realize it! Good Luck!!

You can't edit your posts? ICJ gave me editing privileges along with a $20 Sizzler gift card when I signed up! Sucks to be you I guess.

Okay, but what was it supposed to be? Cat? I'm guessing cat. Is it cat?

What is a "call skeleton"

by **AArdvark** » Tue Sep 06, 2016 5:27 pm

Funny, I always thought of Aldi's as a discount store for the elderly. The two times I've darkened their doorway I've always seen old people in quantity there. Not for sale, I mean, just you know, shopping.

Don't think there's much market for old people, even at a discount.

I bought a 3' call skeleton from Aldi's for $50. I wasn't going to, but it said "1/2 price!" and I thought "Hot damn, that's a good deal!"

I wasn't going to buy from them originally, but a lifetime of television has conditioned me to take the words coming from Billy Mays seriously!

I bought a sweater from Aldi in Scotland. That, to date, has been my only Aldi purchase.

I am almost always very satisfied with Aldis products, which is why I was surprised with how lack luster the filets were.

I've never bought steak from Aldi before but when whole frozen ducks go on sale there I usually grab 2 of em. Produce is cheap there too

I like Aldi's. I bought a box of filets from them a while back and found them thoroughly mediocre after grilling them. I can not remember what brand they were, but I remember for a fact that the ones I purchased did not have bacon.

The ALDI chain of supermarkets - http://www.aldi.us - has a very special steak, or maybe it's not steak since their ad says something different, but here it is:

Cattleman's Ranch
USDA Choice Bacon Wrapped Beef Chuck Tender Filet

The 10-ounce package consists of two fillets wrapped with bacon. They are great, and I'm not even that big a bacon fan. But these are delicious, and at $4.50 they're an excellent value.

The only problem was, while they were very tasty and juicy, they seemed a bit chewy. The package says bake at 375 for 25 minutes, but what I have done is soften them, after I take them out of the freezer, doing them for about 2 minutes in the microwave - instead of the 30 seconds I used to use - to make them easy to slide out of the plastic package.

I also increased the cooking time to 28 minutes and they came out perfect. Cuts and chews easy, delicious flavor and no problems. I just put a little steak sauce on them to make them pop.

----
The Aldi chain started in Europe, and in the 1940s it split into two companies, Aldi North and Aldi South. When they entered the U.S. market, Aldi North continued to call itself ALDI, but Aldi South called itself Trader Joes.
