# They come free range.

# I was in sainsbury's yesterday
They had a "special" offer on pizzas. £1 each or 2 for £2. I kid you not.

# Well I've never known sainsbury's to do much else but bugger you slightly worse than a supermarket with poorer clientele
Oh and they do a nice orange juice.

# I don't have much choice
It's either shop in Sainsbury's or go to another town

# I greatly dislike supermarkets' offers
that require buying 2 or 3 of an item. Especially items I don't use that often. Why can't they just reduce the item's price instead? Stupid supermarkets, extorting extra money out of people.

# It's kind of like getting you to agree to invest.
Buy the second chicken, put in in your freezer, eat it when you next want a chicken. You don't eat any more chicken than usual, but the supermarket feels slightly more secure because they got paid in advance.

# Not really
Unless the mark-up on the chicken was doubled, you'd still be getting 2 for the price of 1.
The main reason for these offers is to get you into the shop with the hope you'll buy other stuff.

# Oh yeah.
What I said only makes sense if the chicken also costs slightly more than normal.
Or I suppose it still works if you weren't going to buy any chickens today, but were persuaded to by the BOGOF.
Still doesn't have to mean rampant chicken consumption, anyway - just storing up the chickens for later.

# I bought buy one get one free cheese last night.
Bargain. If you like cheese and HEY, who doesn't?

# Buying cheese at night on Sunday is pretty cool.
Sort of thing a satanist might do, who liked cheese.

# Demonologists agree! Cheddar makes the BEST pentangles.
The most demonic thing I intend to do is make cheese on toast, with pesto and Worcestershire sauce.

# It's true for most people, including myself
But then I'm a Camembert fan. And I understand I might be in a minority there.

# I like the 'bert
but if I can afford it, I got for Roquefort. Truly the king of cheeses, despite being French.

# You mean the Dauphin?
I do like the foreign cheeses. There was this great, really addictive cheese I got from a stall at a European foods market. It was made out of sheep's milk. Can't remember what it was called, but it resembled a small Camembert wheel, it was something really special.

# My fave cheese at the moment is Bowland
It's got bits of fruit in it. I think it's an attempt to meld the christmas cake and mature cheddar thing people sometimes do.

I had some unpasteurised sheep's milk brie a few weeks ago. Good stuff, but my guts were weird for a few days after.

# Bowland
is the dogs! I once asked for Christmas Cake Cheese at the counter, only to be met with a blank stare.

# Camembert seems like a slightly disappointing brie substitute
like getting salad cream instead of mayonnaise.

Have chips to make up for it.

# That's a whole world of tastes you're dismissing in one fell swoop, sir. From the humble workhorse cheddar to the mighty danish blue and all ports in between.
Do you have issues? I imagine your mum left a pound of double gloucester on your pram when you were an infant. The scars of such a trauma can run deep, but there is help out there.

# mozarella on pizza is ok because it doesn't taste of cheese
everything above that on the cheesiness scale just makes me hurl, I'm afraid

it tastes like rotten milk
