Very little makes massive portions i couldn't believe how much i got out of one chicken.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

ohhh you have me tempted now ... can i freeze what we dont use?0

I would think so, i must admit i prefer it without the oil in the pastry, but is is delicious and actually uses very little Chicken. I think if you wanted to make it with the quorn Chicken pieces, i would make the filling up the night before and it will absorb flavour.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

I love my slow cooker, best thing I ever bought.
RE: portion sizes, there used to be someone on OS (frugaldom) who seemed to make a chicken last forever, but when I looked at the portion sizes, they were tiny!Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

i think that is the way the plan goes squizz next week i think it is roughly £20 the week after £15 the last week £11 or something ...
for £26 he got ... 3 lots of chicken breasts... they look like genetically modified chicken to me ... no chicken could walk about normally with breasts that size ( and before i am done for slander .... allegedly genetically modified) 2 lots of gammon steaks ( unsmoked) 3 lots of bacon 2 quorn (ok that was for me so that i can have chilli one day) kid on mince things
That sounds like quite a lot of meat.. I'm just wondering how cheap the cheap meat really is.. I might do a farmers market comparison when we got at the weekend
Must admit I was desperate for a slow cooker, got one in Asda for about a tenner, and have hardly used it!

i think you bring a very valid point up gilligansyle ... everyone has their own idea of what a portion size should be ... hubby and i like food ( hence the reason i am kinda fat lol)...and we find small portions just annoying lol ... i saw the thread you talk about and i too wondered what on earth ... chickens are not magicians they cant divide into that many peices
we had a slow cooker before that we gave to our son he never returned it and that was about 3 houses ago now so there is no chance we will ever get it back0 -

it was like 4 pieces of chicken in one bag ... 3 bags so 12 pieces ... think you can really think of them as 24 though lol ... the gammon steaks were two in a pack so four ... the bacon well that was a huge load in each one ... there will be no comparison to a farmers markety type of food ... which would be what i eat if i ate meat ... but hubby says he cant taste the difference0
