Is that Co-burns or Cockburns as the ad used to say

I hope you keep it under lock and key! I envy you, it is my Favourite too

Remember, "One doesn't say 'cock' one says 'co'." (Just as well this isn't 'elsewhere'.)

I found six bottle in Euromarket once and bought them all. I haven't seen it here since.

That's the last place I found any too , Beach, and if you ever do find any more please let me know and I will do same for you both.
I have to rely on supplies from Uk visitors at Xmas time.

Where else can you get your Finckerbrau beer when the 5000 decend upon you insistent on drinking everything drinkable in the house and insist you barbecue everything that moves!!!!!!

keddyboy · 10-11-2008, 18:11

Sorry out of sinque, Cockburns available at Euromarket, Fuengirola!!!!

keddyboy · 12-11-2008, 17:40

What about when all your friends and relatives decend upon you, Lidls and Finckerbrau seem a good option at the rate these persons drink!!!!!!

hippyshake · 16-11-2008, 19:37

Hmmm....there´s people on here who won´t shop at Lidl or Aldi - ummm...why??? Lidl's has nice smoked ham and feta cheese and the cheapo Baileys substitute that tastes near enough like Baileys!!!

And, Beachcomber, why do you avoid Mercadona?

It´s easily the best of the Spanish supermarkets and, yes, the Dunmhor cheddar is very nice. Consum is alright but not wonderful and Carrefour is a nightmare - too damn big and doesn´t have all the stuff I want. I tend to eat local food. There´s a Brit supermarket here for bits and pieces that I want but nothing I couldn´t live without. I do like my oatcakes though!

We have looked in Lidl and Aldi and have not seen anything that I wanted to buy. We shop between Carrefour and Hipercor for most of our food, our local Super Sol has a great selection of soft cheeses. Mercadona does a great marinated pork joint at a super price.

Each to their own.

hippyshake · 16-11-2008, 23:49

Aaaa thought you were having some kind of aversion to it on other grounds LOL!

I certainly wouldn´t do my weekly shop at Lidl but they do have bits and pieces that are nice and some of the non-food gizmos they get in are great value. Not got Hipercor or Super sol here and the local Carrefour is so enormous you´re tired just looking at it never mind walking around it!!!
