As the festive season approaches, shoppers are now seeing supermarket shelves stocked with traditional holiday fare.
However, this year, ALDI has decided to shake things up with an eclectic Christmas range that has left many customers scratching their heads in bemusement.
ALDI's latest holiday selection includes a variety of mains that push the boundaries of conventional Christmas cuisine.
The supermarket chain has introduced a Salmon Wellington with Cheese Sauce, Prosecco and Watercress, priced at $9.99 per two-pack, which has certainly raised eyebrows.
While the ‘normal’ salmon wellingtons from ALDI have been described as 'divine' by some, adding prosecco and watercress to this festive version has left shoppers uncertain.
For those who find themselves torn between turkey, chicken, or ham, ALDI offers a solution that combines all three.
The Fresh Turhamken Roast, a hybrid of turkey, ham, and chicken, comes with fig, honey, and sage stuffing and is available for $22.99 per kilo.
Similarly, the Turducken Roast, which combines turkey, duck, and chicken, is offered at the same price and features a prosecco-flavoured sprinkle and cranberry-infused butter.
The reactions to ALDI's Christmas range have been mixed.
While some food enthusiasts have labelled these meaty mash-ups as 'abominations', others view them as quirky holiday ‘gimmicks’ that could add a twist to the Christmas dinner table.
But ALDI's Christmas range doesn't stop at these novel creations.
Shoppers can still find comfort in the Fresh Free Range Whole Turkey for $11.49 a kilo.
If you still prefer other classic favourites, you can still grab ALDI’s 2023 Christmas Hams range and award-winning frozen turkeys at your nearest store. You can read more about what’s on offer here.
But for those looking to try something new, ALDI has introduced a Fresh Half Semi Deboned Turkey with cranberry, pistachio and sage stuffing, spiced herb seasoning, and a butter disc for $22.99 per kg.
There's also the Fresh Turkey Breast Roast with a bacon lattice, pumpkin stuffing, and honey glaze for $29.99 per kg.
The Fresh Whole Roast RSPCA Approved Chicken with apple, cranberry, and honey stuffing for $6.99 per kg is another addition to the range, catering to those who prefer chicken over turkey.
Seafood enthusiasts haven't been forgotten, with ALDI offering a $27.99 Fresh Tasmanian Salmon Side with citrus and cranberry glaze.
For prawn lovers, there's one kilo of Fresh Cooked Australian Black Tiger Prawns for $29.99, ensuring that the Christmas spread can be as diverse as the guests around the table.
