    Although a blatant compo seeker for anything maybe sueing family members when they're not happy is out of their comfort zone?

    Unfortunately, I didn't complain because I didn't want to make a fuss and everyone else appeared to be happy with their legless chicken.

    I'm not really looking for massive compensation - although I think it would be reasonable to expect the 2 missing chicken legs and a bit of breast to make up what was missing.

    Perhaps you should have had 1/2 the feathers, and intestines too. Better complain.

    Mmmm that point - I did get that once when we bought a chicken from the famous high street underwear seller - Not just any chicken - a *&* chicken!

    If it's a certain restaurant I know, beginning with N, then the wing pieces have a fair bit less meat on them than the leg pieces. Or maybe it's the other way round. :undecided
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    could it be that what I thought were wings are are actually legs and the small breast is actually because these are smaller chickens :embarasse

    Could be, couldn't it?

    Small chickens do have small legs, wings and breasts, as far as I know. ;)
