J D Gross 81% chocolate. Looks dairy free and gluten free and veggie and probably vegan (going by the ingredients only). 22.8g carbs per 100g 125g for £1.09!

Just sayin'...

I can confirm that it tastes great. It's completely satisfying, and since it's high cocoa %, I can't gorge on a whole bar. Even if I feel like a binge, a quarter of a bar is enough and I can't eat any more. Quarter of a bar being about 9 or 10 gCH.

Hi carb Foods
Spiker,
can you comment on allegations you are going into the sausage business?

The hassle and ignorance of diabetes.

Here's the bad news: Gobshite Industries Trust plc have put their prices up... JD Gross now £1.15 :mad:

Still, they also sell a 70% Fairtrade block @ 99p for 100g :hungry:

This one doesn't care about which bag it is, just that it is above 80% and tastes good!

Too bitter for me but mr Scandi loves it! 70% is nice though more carbs! At the minute I'm currently eating Green and Blacks 70% or 1 Lindt dark choc truffle. 53g fat but 33% carbs per 100g.

Love Aldi for shopping (and NO fancy carrierbags) also their 80% dark chocolate is lovely as someone said you cannot eat a lot of it so the bar lasts longer Ha! Ha!.

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Moser Roth from Aldi - 70% is right for me as anything above that refuses to melt in the mouth.

Posh people shop in Lidl and Aldi because they know the value of money.
To look posh they also shop in Waitrose.
Which is why Tesco is in the crapper at the moment.

It was reported on the news earlier that Aldi have increased their sales by a whopping 36% in the last year, as the quality of the food is as good or even better it's no wonder the likes of Tesco's & Morrison's are suffering.

We have 2 lidls but no Aldi. I am a supermarket tart. I look up the offers and go to all 3. How sad is that?! Saves a fortune though ;)
