Aldi’s cereal range is an almost comedical stroll down imitation lane. From the packaging to the cereals themselves there isn’t anything original or new to see here.

Having said that I guess there’s only so much you can do with cereal that hasn’t been done before.

Goldenvale Wheat biscuits

I don’t eat Weetbix religiously but I do like to have them for breakfast from time to time. Aldi’s offering is a lot lighter in colour then Weetbix, if you hold the two side by side Wheat Biscuits look almost bleached white. I don’t know if this is crappier wheat or a different way of manufacturing the product but whatever it is Goldenvale do different it doesn’t work.

Wheat biscuits turn into sludge at the slightest hint of milk, they don’t go soggy they just dissolve into a wheat swamp in your bowl. The taste is kind of raw, if Wheatbix were bread then wheat biscuits is like eating dough and no matter how much sugar I piled on I just couldn’t get them to taste any good. I’d definately give these a miss and stick with Weetbix.
