ALDI is launching a new Iron Brew pakora product across all its 96 Scottish stores.
To mark Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight, Ayr-based Punjab Pakora are supplying a range which includes the chicken pakora infused with the iconic drink as well as a beer-battered option.
Both products will be on sale for a limited time during Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight, which lasts from September 5-20.
As part of the celebration of Scottish suppliers, Aldi is also stocking products including Loch Fyne True North Oysters, Brownings Chicken and Haggis Pie, Specially Selected Haggis En Croute and Buffalo Farm Scottish Buffalo Burgers.

According to the latest National Farmers Union Scotland “shelf watch” survey, Aldi stocks more Scotch Lamb, Scotch Beef and Scottish chicken than any other supermarket in the country. It is now also the biggest volume retailer of Scottish origin beef, according to the Kantar Worldpanel survey up to April 18.
Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight is held every year and celebrates all kinds of produce from Scots producers.
“The industry is alive with passionate and talented people, long-established brands and young, innovative businesses who have adapted quickly, taking the challenge in their stride,” the organisers say.
“They are at the heart of why Scotland’s reputation for food and drink remains unmatched and why our appetite for buying Scottish remains unequalled. Now, more than ever, we’re seeing a real and tangible pride in our food and drink.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
