Whey don't they have marzipan eggs in May like in Germany for Easter
Lauren
I have never tried marzipan eggs, but that would be such a great addition.
BJ
It stinks that they had it so early this year!
Lauren
I don't believe they've had it yet for spring 2023. I think it happens later this month or early May.
Levi
It would excellent if they had Weisswurst sausage.
Lauren
Weisswurst sausage would be fantastic! I did see Braunschweiger and Bavarian Bratwurst when I went to Aldi today.
Mary
It is sad that they no longer have rye bread.
It would also be great if they carried German Week food all of the time for us Germans that like more than twice a year!!!
Greta Bollenbach Markowicz
Totally Agree - German food all year long please!!! Interesting that Aldi has Mexican, Oriental, Greek and others all year long . Would love warm potato salad, rye bread, potato sticks and more all year long. Have been able to find some spaetzle.
Elke Guillot

My local Aldi store stocked Deutsche Kuche brand Herring fillets in Mango pepper sauce & curry pineapple sauce (7.05 oz. cans) for a short time. Will these items be available again and if so when?
