I like the steak one best
but that's like saying I like to eat chunky shit best of all the other types of shit.

I have eaten the occasional steak one. Don't tell anyone though.

I find that the spicy chicken ones is least offensive
and seems most like actual food. good for a hangover too.

It has chicken in it
the chicken in those kind of things is the most offensively produced chicken there is. I'm not massively into animal rights, I don't really think they have any, but you shouldn't be cruel to them just to save a few quid and I find the concept of mass produced chicken to be really unpleasant, as well as tasting like nothing.

Now tell him you don't think you can be his friend any more.

I don't care that much

I think you do. Burn him!
Actually watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's chicken programme was really offputting. Now whenever I see cheap chicken in Sainsbury's it revolts me.

What annoyed me most about that program
was the spastic chav woman saying "I can't afford to buy normal chicken at five pounds each, I have to buy two for a fiver" and Hugh trying to convince her to spend the extra money on happy chickens when surely the most obvious response is "You don't need two fucking chickens, just buy one and eat more vegetables"

She was a hideous fat lump.
But she's my mum so I love her all the same.

this is true
animal rights are as low down on my agenda as it is possible to get, but battery chickens just seem like un-necessary cruelty

Unnecessary hyphen, and all.

I was talking about the taste, but you probably realise that.
mass produced chicken is unnecessarily cruel indeed. I disapprove of how they treat pigs and stuff in Europe too, so no Danish bacon.

I get my bacon from the local butcher
it's bloody gorgeous. I like bacon
(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 10:50, Reply)

just had bacon
local bacon and all
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 10:52, Reply)

I'm jealous.
Of you for having bacon, and of the bacon for being in your mouth.

HAHA!

(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 11:00, Reply)

I love bacon
what I find most ridiculous about the badly treated animals is that they don't taste good, or as you pointed out, of anything. Or they shrivel up to nothing when cooked.

it's shit

Did you see Hestons programme on how much water you can pump into a chicken breasts
you can literally double the size and weight of it and it all just steams out when you cook it.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 10:56, Reply)

I did not see that
it doesn't surprise me though.

I mostly use chicken thighs these days unless the recipe specifically calls for a whole breast. Tastier and cheaper.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 10:57, Reply)

I would
but mrs al says they are too fatty. I personally don't get this, but she's all about the healthy eating.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 11:00, Reply)

I've found that it is possible to remove the fat from them
the extra tastiness and extra cheapness more than makes up for the extra effort required to remove the fatty bits
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 11:02, Reply)

They have double the taste of breast, eh?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 11:19, Reply)

I was talking qualitatively
not quantitatively.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 11:21, Reply)

Proper chicken
has about half the fat of cheap ones, so Mrs Al would be OK with thighs if the meat is free range.

FACT.
