Don't miss out on the headlines from Eat. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Aldi has delighted fans this week by reviving one of its most popular ranges — and shoppers are flocking to their local supermarket to get their hands on it.
The supermarket giant brought back its Best Of British Special Buys range on June 12, featuring beloved snacks and drinks from the UK. It's no secret why the collection is so popular, with 1.1 million Brits living in Australia as of June 2023.
This year's range includes items such as Tunnock's Tea Cakes, with a six pack selling for $5.49. There are also Smith's Crinkle Cut chips in Prawn Cocktail, Worcestershire sauce or Cheese & Pickles flavours for $3.29. Fry's Chocolate Cream or Orange Cream, Swizzels Squashies and Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney Pie also made the cut.

Fans are already all over the product drop, with one social media video clocking more than 900,000 views just revealing some of the items available.
Emma Lake took to TikTok to share the information with her 'fellow Brits in Aus'.
'It is British week at Aldi. This is one of my favourite weeks of the year, where you can stock up on all of the goodies,' she said.
'So they've got all different crisps, chocolates, all different sauces, gravies. Honestly, they had so much in store. This is the first day.'
She did say she noticed some things were missing — such as Toffee Crisps and Mini Cheddars. She also commented that pricing wasn't too bad.

Alisha Carter also called it the 'best week of the year' and said she was heading in-store with a strict mission — to find Prawn Cocktail crisps and Galaxy chocolate.
'But, we'll see what else they have,' she said.
'I have no self restraint when it comes to chocolate so going in here I knew I only wanted to get the Galaxy bars but Caramilk Buttons are like my weakness. The same with these little miniatures.
'Chicken and mushroom pot noodles were also on my to get list but I could not justify paying $3.50 when these are a pound in England.'
She said the goods were 'secured' but would likely only last two weeks in her household before having to go back for more.

Other fans weighed in on the range, with some saying there weren't enough Irish products and others demanded to know why there weren't any Percy Pigs (IYKYK).
'I'm so picking up Swizzels tomorrow!!! Aussie partner has never had any of them before,' one said.
Another asked: 'But is the Yorkshire tea the ACTUAL Yorkshire tea?!? Because the stuff in Woolies/coles isn't proper stuff!'
'That's all well and good but let me know when they've got Gregg's steak bakes,' one added.
An Aldi spokesperson told news.com.au the supermarket chain has been stoked with positive the reaction.
'We have welcomed back our popular British Week range to the Special Buys aisle this week, and we're chuffed to see videos of our customers raving about this year's range online. For those missing home favourites or are British food-curious, it's the time to head over to the middle aisle,' the spokesperson said.
'Fan favourites like Prawn Cocktail and Worcestershire sauce crisps, Galaxy Chocolate Blocks and nostalgic Club Biscuits have made a return as well as some new products that are sure to be a hit, like the Swizzels Squashies.'

More charges for UK rapper accused of raping woman
A British YouTuber and musician fighting allegations he raped and choked a woman after a gig has been hit with two more charges, as his trial date is set. Yung Filly, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, appeared in Perth District Court on Friday. The 29-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in a hotel room following a performance in the city's northern suburbs in September. He previously pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual penetration without consent and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. The entertainer has also denied impeding the woman's normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to her neck. He is now facing two additional counts of sexual penetration without consent, although no plea has been entered. The additional charges were briefly mentioned in court but not explained and his lawyer declined to discuss the change outside court. The London rapper, who has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, will face a 10-day trial on April 20, 2026. He was arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth in October. Barrientos's Wikipedia page says he was born in Colombia. He started his YouTube career in 2013 and music career in 2017. He has also appeared on numerous television shows, including BBC's Hot Property, which he hosted in 2018. Barrientos was previously fined and banned from driving for six months after he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in November, while on bail. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) National Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028 A British YouTuber and musician fighting allegations he raped and choked a woman after a gig has been hit with two more charges, as his trial date is set.

Bob Geldof blasts 'sociopathic loser' Elon Musk
Bob Geldof has branded Elon Musk a "prime w*****" for disregarding empathy. The 73-year-old musician and Live Aid pioneer spoke to the audience after the opening night of Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical on London's West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and he took aim at the billionaire. In a video shared by he said: "A couple of weeks ago, that prime w***** Elon Musk said something seriously wrong. He said, 'The great weakness of Western civilisation is empathy'. "The great weakness? ... You sociopathic loser. Empathy is the glue of civilisation. Empathy is the glue of humanity. "It's how we do things together. It's how we sit here together and clap because we actually understand that this is the stuff that works." During a recent interview with Joe Rogan in February, Musk insisted while "you should care about other people", empathy was being "weaponised". He added: "The fundamental weakness of Western civilisation is empathy, the empathy exploit." The musical - which started at The Old Vic in January 2024 before moving to the US and now returning to London - retells the events leading up to the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985, which raised money for the famine in Ethiopia. Geldof - who also called out United States President Donald Trump, his vice president JD Vance, and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer - used his passionate speech to encourage people to help those in need. He continued: "We need to be helped, we need to help the NHS, we need to re-arm because there's a thug currently invading our continent, but really? "All that intellect, that's all you can do? Snatch it from those people? It can't work like that. It doesn't have to work like that. "It began working like that in 1985, and we took it all the way 20 years later to Live 8. That really tipped the balance in the favour of those we wanted to help." Bob Geldof has branded Elon Musk a "prime w*****" for disregarding empathy.
