Trader Joes wasn't founded by one of the Aldi brothers... The two Aldi brother split up in 1960 on a dispute on selling Cigarettes... This split created Aldi Sud (That Aldi US/UK is owned by) and Aldi Nord(That Trader Joes is owned by). Trader Joes was founded by Joe Coulombe in 1958 and Aldi Nord brought Trader Joes in 1979.

Thanks so much for the info! 👌

There is actually two shops called Aldi. Aldi Sud and Aldi Nord. The Aldi we have in the UK is Aldi Sud which operates under the name Aldi in the US. We don't have Aldi Nord in the UK. Some countries have both like Spain and Germany so if you see two Aldi stores with different logos that why

I think once three people in your family have smelled the same grapefruit, you're obligated to buy it 😝

@@marydavis5234, Trader Joe's first store was in Pasadena, California and I remember going there when I was a kid. Aldi bought them years later and expanded the store into other states, but the products they sell haven't changed much and are about the same as they were originally.

You take the Soyrizo (vegetable chorizo) and heat it in a frying pan, then add a few eggs and mix and scramble with the soyrizo, microwave a flour tortilla with cheese in it, and then roll a great breakfast burrito with it. So good. 👍

Cook up some of the chorizo, then add in eggs and make a burrito out of it. You can add cooked sausage, bacon, cheese, taco sauce....etc. 😀 The chorizo is cooked like minced hamburger, just a few minutes and it is done.
