    I have to say I always buy meat and poultry from my local butcher, I know where his fields are and I know him and his staff, so I trust his produce.

  • i'm sure if ou look at the ingredients on ur thai chicken you'll likely see: chicken(48%), maize, wheat....garbage fillers etc

    The way forward is to keep your own coup... though that's almost impossible living in 2nd floor rented accommodation in south belfast (no garden)LOL

    Doesn't matter where you live.

    There is no excuse having to eat garbage like chicken goujans!
  • Bet Joe wishes he had never asked, now that we've all given him a terrible doing over for his taste in chicken products...:D
