I don't like our chances of getting an Aldi in Tassie then.  :'(

I did hear recently (don't know how much truth in it) that Aldi would not come to WA while we had such restrictive opening hours.

Over here the shops close at 5 or 6 all nights except Thursday when it is 9. Saturday is 9 to 5 and Sunday is closed. I love it when we travel East as the shops are open on Sundays.

This is a great recipe - having had a few failures, i was pleased to say that this tasted absolutely lovely and it looked just like the photos. Even my fussy brother in law went back for thirds - needless to say everyone else was dissapointed there wasnt more!!!! Thanks for a great recipe.

It is so easy and tasty isn't it? Lovely with mangoes too.

Nice to hear you did something you were happy with Mel.  Hang in there, it will all come together before you know it. Just check on the forum first to see if there has been any tweaking of a recipe and then you shouldn't have any problems.

Good work - you need to kick a few goals to get your confidence.  Go for the tried and tested and recommended  :-*

This looks so nice, but I'm really not a fan of raw egg white.  :-X Does anyone have a problem with it, or is it just me?

But honestly it doesnt taste of raw egg, nor like meringue.  I know it doesnt sound too appealing raw egg! The only way I can describe it is a fruit mousse, with tiny pieces of frozen fruit inside. Have you tried it? Its worth trying, it freezes well too! You may be surprised!

I have never had a problem with raw egg whites - but haven't had many dietary problems - Meganjane - is it the health issue or just taste/look?

I use raw egg whites for mousses and fools.

The thought of raw egg white doesn't sit well with me either, but if it's not for health  reasons it is well worth trying. My first taste was done carefully but I made myself not think about it. It really does not taste of the egg at all.

My mum is just the same but what she "doesn't know won't hurt her" LOL. (It's just the thought of it) But it just isn't as creamy without it - more like a granita texture.  ;)

Not a health issue, more an 'ick' issue! :D

I'll try it and see. My mum used to make a dessert called Apple Fluff or something like that and it had raw egg white in it. I used to eat it without a problem. It was only when I asked for the recipe that I didn't eat it anymore!
