Rate which foods put you in a good mood and see how you compare to other readers

Whether award-winning steak or ice cream, everyone’s got a food to put them in a good mood.

WHETHER IT’S A nice meal at the end of a long hard day, or a back garden summer barbecue with all your nearest and dearest, there is never a bad time for the food that you love. 

ALDI knows that good food means good mood, which is why its stores across Ireland are stocked with award-winning foods that put a smile on your face.

Today we’re looking for your input. We want to know which of these foods puts the biggest smile on your face. We’ve got three categories: sweet treats, meat lovers, and the snack showdown — we want to find out which of these foods makes our readers happiest. 

The slider rating tool is simple. On a scale of 1-10, simply drag the slider to reflect how happy a certain food makes you, and we’ll see which foods come out victorious.

The fun part of our slider rating tool is that you can see the average rating submitted by all of our other readers, giving you a sense of just how much of an ice-cream fiend you might be relative to the population at large, for example. So let’s get started.

Sweet treats

The first dilemma is a tough one. Rate the two options below and learn how other readers voted.
