Your chicken might taste ‘bootiful’ to your kids but they don’t have anything to compare it with. We doddering old goats do.

I accept that as a person gets older and older there is deterioration in the efficiency of the old taste buds but then I wouldn’t be able to taste steak, apple pies and all sorts of other things, would I?

It is the same with the so called wet fish. It too is tasteless but then it has been lying about half frozen for several weeks before being sold as wet fish.

I’ve eaten cod, hake, halibut, trout, salmon etc within a couple of hours of it being caught and they all had taste. Today the only taste that you get is from the various sauces that can be poured over fish.

50 years ago we could take a trip to Fleetwood and buy fish that was caught that day. Cod tasted like cod and hake like hake. Plaice had its own unique taste.
