hi rachie
when i bought the frozen chicken breasts i found tham a bit dry when you just roasted them, but they were lovely when i made chicken kiev, or just cooked them to make chicken pies, so i suppose they'd be fine if you were doing them in a sauce or something

I found the mince very fatty, so i ended up draining all the fat off and giving it to my dog.....she liked it anyway, but i wouldn't have eaten it!!
When i bought the chops...lamb, pork etc they taste ok but there's a lot of bone in them and quite a bit fat on them....i suppose you can't expect them to be brilliant when they're so cheap

OH work use the cooked chicken pieces for their meals on nightshift - they use this to make curries etc - have used them and ate them myself and they are okay

not sure about anything else - I personally would try anything once

I love the chicken thighs especially roasted nice and crispy. I also skin them and put them in the slow cooker with curry. Not tried anything else
