ALDI is pretty terrible if you don’t have a really basic White Australian diet.

I get what you're saying. They've got the basic Aussie Italian, Mexican, Asian covered. You'll never beat shopping at the specialty supermarket/shop for whatever cuisine you're cooking.

But as a somewhat counterpoint to this, I quite enjoy their weekly(?) deals where they have mostly pantry foods and specialities from a particular country. Sure, they're not available all the time, but there's been plenty of times I've gone 'OMG, it's xyz from country 123!' and you'd be lucky to find it anywhere in Australia. My eyes must've bugged out of my head when I saw they had white asparagus 🤣
