Re: £2 chickens

Perhaps I could loan you some Brasso for your halo Blazey.

Ian has put the case for ethical products very succinctly.

In the real world, the world which most of us inhabit, we buy the food that our budget allows, with personal taste and cultural(maybe even religious) constraints taken into consideration.

Yes exactly, and I prefer to eat something that hasn't lived its life walking in its own waste. My budget allows it and it tastes better.

I think what most people really mean is that they couldnt give a damn what sort of life the animals had.
 
Re: £2 chickens

I'd bet you couldn't tell £2 chicken from £10 chicken if I cook them equally.

I probably couldn't because I am not a chicken fan, I prefer chops. And I dont pay a lot for meat as my butcher sells quality meat at good prices. I haven't even ever paid more than £2 for chicken because I only buy a few diced pieces to put in curry.

More of a red meat fan.

So it tastes better but you only eat it in curries. make your mind up love. either you buy it for its taste or you cover its taste up with spices.

hole and digging, me thinks

I was referring more to the taste of eggs, but the more expensive chicken tends to have a better texture, though I have only bought one portion of chicken at university and that was diced. Good chicken can be tasted through spices though.

Rubbish. I'm a qualified chef and I guarantee you can give me the best chicken in teh world and the cheapest and curried you won't be able to taste a diference even in texture. Its how you cook it that counts.

I also love quality food but I'm not snobby enough to pretend there is a difference in teh real world.

get over it and move on. It makes no difference to me that you are happy to spend more to feel comfortable inside but as I posted before take a long hard look at teh rest of your life as well

I dont spend more on chicken, and I only spend a bit more on eggs. The majority of the poll have also said they wont touch the cheap chicken with a barge pole. You shouldn't have to be a qualified chef to get the best out of cheap chicken. Its lived in its own filth which is the main problem, it doesnt really matter how it tastes, I wont support it.

As for the rest of my life, there's nothing wrong with my life. What would you know.
 
Re: £2 chickens

lancsdave, its ~3 lb in weight which is enough for a decent meal

Blazey, you live your live as you like but I bet its not anywhere near ethical like you keep spouting.

The only thing bad is the amount of paper I get through. But it all gets recycled so I guess it isn't all that bad.

Find me something really unethical that I must do and I will apologise, but until then I will stand by my opinions. Just like the other 20+ people who dont eat cheap meat.
 
Re: £2 chickens

What you should say blazey is that they say they don't eat /wouldn't eat £2 chickens......and one of those has said he dislikes the seller so maybe that is why he won't buy them.......and I bet those folk who say now that they wouldn't buy cheap food, would do if their circumstances were such that they could afford nothing else.

EXACTLY...so long as the meat is edible and free from disease (which it is because they remove the unhealthy and the dead) i couldnt give a monkeys chuffer....well in my opinion anyway !

they are bred to eat, we dont eat, we dont survive, simple !!!

get over it, accept it and stfu ffs :mad:

ps.
this doesnt involve household pets (give you something else to pick up on now) !!!

Re: £2 chickens

I wouldnt buy cheap meat -ever no matter what the circumstances.But i dont eat meat much anyway, so i wouldnt miss it.

i have lived on pittance buying a 10p loaf from kwik save and a few tins of the cheapest beans in the world hoping they would last me all week, for a bit of a change i might treat myself to a 9p pack of noodles but i paid my bills and my dog had good food even if i had to do without- but i would never have bought cheap meat i am not saying it is less tastey it may even be as good quality as the more expensive - it doesnt bother me. i am not taking a stand against cruelty i just dont buy meat that often. the factories that produce the more expensive carcasses can probably afford better lawyers and so the tv companies dont expose them who knows.
all i know is even if my income was low - i wouldnt buy cheap meat
 
Re: £2 chickens

Richard paid nearly £5 for a chicken at th'asda yesterday and it still wasnt free range, but he reckoned it would have had a better life than the cheaper chickens, i think the poor lad needs certifying
