Americans Try Super Spicy Korean Ramen NoodlesThere's a lot of buzz online about Korean instant ramen brand Nongshim's Shin Red Super Spicy Ramen (Ramyun or Ramyeon). We were surprised to see these at Lidl in Portugal and had to pick up a couple packages to try. Can Americans handle Shin Red level spicy? Time will tell..

How to Use Gochujang Paste
I decided to use the Gochujang paste in a ground beef and vegetable stirfry mixed with some left over rice.
It was a simple, unimpressive operation - Just bought some ground beef at Lidl as well as their frozen asian vegetable mix and cooked them up in our stainless steel pan along with the bit of leftover white rice that was hanging out in the fridge.

Added some generous squeezes of the Gochujang paste to the mix and tossed into a bowl. I actually didn't find it too spicy so I added a little extra swirl in my bowl.

I enjoyed this little Korean culinary diversion. I think it's really fun that Lidl brings such a wide range of internationally inspired products throughout the year. So even if you can't travel, you can always travel through food. ;)

It's not betty crocker, but i'll take it - Lidl Belbake Rainbow Chocolate Cookies Baking Mix Review
7/15/2025
You know when you go through your pantry and realize you have had something forever and need to use it up? Yeah... well, that's what happened with this Lidl cookie mix.
Belbake Rainbow Chocolate Cookies Baking Mix
In America baking aisles go on for almost an eternity with mixes for cakes, cookies, brownies, breads, and all manner of goodies. You have store brands, classics like Betty Crocker, premium baking mixes like Ghirardelli, speciality gluten free, allergen free cookie mixes and the list goes on..
In Portugal it's not quite like that and local pastelarias don't generally have great cookies. I grabbed this chocolate cookie mix with (knock off) m&ms for some day when I wanted cookies but didn't have the time to bother making them from scratch.

Rainbow Chocolate Cookie Baking Mix | Lidl Portugal
Based on most cookies I've had here, which are usually dry probably due to over baking combined with a lack of enough fat, my expectations were not super high and that's probably why it took me so long to make them.

Lidl Rainbow Chocolate Cookies Before Baking:
The cookie mix made a perfect quarter sheet tray of half a dozen cookies.
I used a cookie scoop to divide the dough and rounded the dough between my palms before placing the unbaked cookie dough on a sprayed cookie sheet.

Belbake Rainbow Chocolate COokie Baking Mix Review:
From low expectations to elation, these cookies were actually delicious! If you're careful not to over bake them, you will have a delightfully fudgy, soft cookie with a gentle crisp where it rested against the baking sheet. The rainbow candy pieces will make you smile like a kid. :)
We ate these so fast that I didn't even take any more pictures and I had to declare them dangerous to have on hand at all times. :p
These are easy cookies to make and enjoy. If you see the mix at Lidl Portugal, go ahead and grab a bag!

The Mcennedy American Way brand name from Lidl gives us a chuckle, but they aren't wrong that Honey BBQ wings are beloved in the States.

How to make honey bbq wings in the air fryer
Much like the Asia Curry Frozen Chicken Wings, we opted to test out the air fryer for the Mccenedy Honey BBQ wings.
Put Frozen Chicken Wings In Air Fryer!
We heated the air fryer to 200C (~400F) and began to check the chicken wings at 15 minutes, using our instant read meat thermometer to ensure a safe temperature for cooking chicken was reached (btw thats 73.9C or 165F) .
Side Note: If you don't already have a meat thermometer, can I just urge you to take the plunge and buy one? You only have to buy it once and it will save you from overcooking your meat and having to chew through rubber or undercooking it and needing an expensive ER visit with food poisoning.

Lidl Mcennedy honey bbq frozen chicken wing review
Once again, like the Vitasia Curry Wings, these made for easy protein in a hurry. They cooked up well in the air fryer, getting a little crispy while maintaining some sticky glaze.
which is better - Curry Wings or Honey BBQ Wings at Lidl?
It's a draw!
One of us preferred the curry wings while the other preferred the bbq. You'll have to give them a try and let us know which you prefer!

Gelatelli Choco Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich Review - Could This Be The Best Ice Cream Treat At Lidl?
7/14/2025
Summer in Algarve is hot. And I mean really hot. FYI, unless you're staying at a holiday (vacation) rental, most homes and apartments in Portugal do not have air conditioning. Even in the Algarve.
This makes ice cream basically a necessity for your health and well being. If you're going to survive summer in Algarve you need a steady supply of cold treats. We are working on trying every Ice Cream at Lidl and other Portuguese Grocery Stores so we can help you pick the very best treats to cool you down!
Gelatelli Choco Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Gelatelli is a brand of frozen treats sold at European grocery chain Lidl. We picked these up at Lidl in Portugal.
There are 4 Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies in each box.

Gelatelli Choco COokie Ice Cream Sandwich Nutrition Information
| Americans in Portugal will notice a difference in Nutrition Information on packaging in Europe. Typically there is always a column showing the nutritional information for 100 grams worth of the item. Sometimes there is a second column showing the nutrition facts for a single serving of the item next to it. I guess the idea is to make it easy to compare how nutritious two items are to one another - 100g of ice cream sandwich vs 100g of bbq chicken wings, for example. |  Nutrition Facts: Lidl Choco Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches |
A closer look at the Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
Judging by the Choco Cookie box, this looks to be vanilla ice cream with some tiny chocolate chips sandwiched between two chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.
This Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich Looks Better Than The Box!
Do you think the cookie photo on the box is an accurate representation of the ice cream sandwich in real life? Personally, I think in real life it looks even better than on the box and that's rare for advertising!
Stay Cool In Portugal With Ice Cream Sandwiches From Lidl Grocery Store!
At the side view, you can see that this cookie ice cream sandwich has some nice heft to it! And sure enough, there are those little chocolate specks all around.
After taking a bite, I'd say they put forth special effort to ensure the outside has plenty of chocolate pieces whereas there are not nearly as many inside. Nevertheless, what did we think of these cookie ice cream sandwiches?
Gelatelli Ice Cream Sandwich | Lidl Review Blog
Is this the best ice cream sandwich in portugal?
I had relatively low expectations for these ice cream sandwiches only because novelty ice creams usually sound like a great idea, but after you eat them they are kind of ... meh.
So I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the Gelatelli Choco Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches! The ice cream itself was just okay, but the two chocolate cookies making the "bun" of this sweet treat sandwich were really the stars of the show!
Good cookies are hard to come by in Portugal (American style cookies), and I actually thought these frozen cookies were legitimately good. Idk if I will lose credibility for saying that, but I stand by it! :)

This is the best ice cream sandwich I have had so far at Lidl and I wouldn't hesitate to grab a box if you're an ice cream sandwich kinda person. Remember, it's for your health. ;)
Stay cool!

|  Cooking Instructions - Vitasia Chicken Wings |
How to cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer
| Can you cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer? Of course you can! We just used the convection oven temperature recommendation of 180C (~350F) and started checking them after 15 minutes. At that time we temped them using an instant read meat thermometer and flipped them over for a few more minutes. How many chicken wings fit in an air fryer? In our air fryer, 10 wings fit comfortably at a time. | Chicken Wings in Air Fryer Basket |
Lidl Vitasia Asian Curry Chicken WIngs Review
| For an easy midweek meal or late night snack, frozen wings can be a great choice to get some protein in. Making them in the air fryer is easy and healthier than deep frying. Overall we thought these were good, but occasionally found 'weird bits' or broken bones which we didn't love. The curry flavor is nice to shake things up a bit. 10 wings is a decent amount, but not quite enough for 2 people. Maybe I could have crammed some more in, but I wanted to leave room for the air to circulate and get some color and crisp. Pro Tip: Cook one round of chicken wings in the air fryer, then after you plate them, toss a second round in. They'll be cooked right when you're wishing you had more! ;) |  Asia Curry Flavored Chicken Wing Dings |

Ice Cream With a View | Armacao de Pera Food Blog
After a leisurely stroll through Armacao de Pera with our parents, an ice cream cone seemed the perfect choice to end the outing on a sweet note.
We stopped in at N'ice Cream in Armacao de Pera. N'ice cream has several locations across central algarve including Albufeira, Portimao, and Armacao de Pera .
N'ice Cream Flavors
Wondering what ice cream flavors are popular in Portugal?
You'll find a combination of classic standbys like Chocolate, Coffee Ice Cream, and even Oreo Ice Cream.

N'ice cream has a lot of candy bar flavored ice creams too like Bounty, Snickers, After Eight and M&Ms.
Gelados Saborosos Praia de Armacao de Pera
Uniquely Portuguese Ice Cream Flavors
One fun thing about N'ice Cream in Algarve is they tend to have some uniquely Portuguese Ice Cream flavors.
Figo c/ Amêndoa Gelado (Fig and Almond)
For example, the Algarve is an agricultural region known for delicious juicy figs and bountiful crops of almonds. So a fig and almond ice cream is spot on!
Gelado com sabor Figo com amêndoa
Dom Rodrigo Ice Cream (Egg Yarn and Almond)
Dom Rodrigo is a traditional dessert from the Algarvian town of Lagos. It's made with "egg yarn"which sounds so weird, but it's egg yolks and sugar so think sweet and rich with the texture of thin coconut shreds.
Gelado com sabor Dom Rodrigo
In addition to these ice cream flavors you can find Pastel de Nata (famous custard tart of Portugal), and Perna de Pau. (Meaning wooden leg in Portuguese).
Perna de Pau is an ice cream on a stick you can buy in grocery stores across Portugal featuring a pirate on the package with, you guessed it, a wooden leg. It's vanilla ice cream with stripes of strawberry 'jelly' and the outside is dipped in chocolate.

Padrino's Cuban Restaurant Review With Photos
Traveling to Southern Florida provides one with ample opportunity to indulge in authentic Cuban cuisine!
Seeing as we already respected our Pittsburgh roots with a couple of trips to Primanti Bros, it was time to nod to my Cuban heritage with a visit to Padrino's.
Padrino's Cuban Cuisine Fort Lauderdale Florida
Padrino's Cuban Cuisine is a family owned restaurant with a few locations in South Florida and has been rated Best Cuban Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine multiple years in a row!
Padrino's Menu
Padrino's serves up some of the most popular cuban dishes like a cubano (cuban sandwich), pan con bistec (palomilla steak sandwich), ropa vieja (shredded flank steak), lechon asado (slow roasted pork marinated in citrus mojo), arroz con pollo (yellow rice with chicken and chorizo) and paella (all your favorite seafood cooked with yellow rice).
Padrino's Menu | Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Frijoles negros (black beans), maduros (sweet plantains), tostones (green plantains) and boiled yucca make for classic cuban side dishes.
For dessert try tres leches cake or cuban flan paired with a cafecito.
Padrino's drink menu
Looking for a cocktail? A classic Cuban Mojito will never steer you wrong!
Padrino's Drink Menu | Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Still, if you're planning a Cuban Night or Havana Nights Dinner Party, you can get some inspiration from some of these cocktails and menu entries!

Padrinos Review
As a media-cubana I can say I approve of Padrino's lol. Their food was great, beautifully presented and a solid representation of Cuban dishes I grew up loving along with some fun and modern twists.
I definitely recommend getting the 'cuban combination' platter as it is a great way to sample a variety of classic Cuban foods in one go.
This week's assignment: grab some friends on Thursday, split a 50% off carafe of sangria and nosh on some great Cuban Cuisine at Padrino's in Fort Lauderdale.
Dale! :)

Florida Primanti's Review
If you're a Steelers fan who finds yourself in ftl or anyone who spent their summers riding the Log Jammer at Kennywood growing up, you're going to get the warm and fuzzies at Primanti's.
Next time I will try the Triple Chocolate Brownies - "They're REALLY GOOD!"
If you're not from Pittsburgh and never heard of Primanti's then you'll be sure to love this no frills, affordable sandwich and pizza shop on Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's rare to find taste at this value in the area.
And if you're not typically a cole slaw fan - honestly neither am I - but you should still try it on your sandwich. It's not a mayonnaise-y slaw, so you may be surprised to find you like it more than you expect!
