Hi there, Lidl app pal! Oh i wish we had M&S and those bargains here! Oh dear, i tried the lemony creamy pasta but we don't have double cream here so i used evaporated milk and the lemon juice separated the milk....yikes! But i looove your food videos! And i couldn't agree more with the do not shop hungry policy. How's your Spanish going? Un beso muy grande! =^.^=

Oooh yikes I can imagine evaporated milk did not enjoy that haha 😅 the lidl app is so smart - and I love scanning it for some reason. It’s super satisfying! The Spanish is going well thank you - I’m doing a little bit daily but I have exams for the next 2-3 weeks so I’m not spending hours on it unfortunately. My plan is to actually go to Spain next year for half a year and become fluent that way 🥰🇪🇸

Hi there! I'm so sorry if this is a weird question or an invasive question (please feel free to ignore or delete if you want!) but I was wondering if you were gluten-free? I'm only asking because I'm thinking of moving into UoL accommodation for this coming year and I'm on a reduced gluten diet (so I can eat some but not a huge amount) and was wondering whether it was worth paying for catered halls. Or if I'm better of just going self-catered. Any advice would be amazing but again, I'm really sorry if this is a weird question or anything like that!
@meiyingchow
@meiyingchow 3 жыл бұрын
hey there!! That's not invasive at all - a really good question actually! I'm the exact same as you - I'm gluten intolerant and have been since birth so just try to reduce my consumption as much as possible. At UoL I very rarely took a gluten option - the occasional homemade pizza, but they do lots of rice dishes, roasts, egg noodle dishes. The breakfasts also have huge variety - I would get beans, egg, fruit, cheeses and meats to make a salad for lunch. You get so many items and there are lots of options which is so handy. It was tricky at times but it was actually cheaper to be there and be catered than in other student accommodation + pay for my own meals. Best of luck with your exams and moving to uni!!
