Fowll dinners ?

[Shooms]

Anyone else watching it ??? :| :| :|

Them poor chicks...

Right here right now I'm making a pledge not to eat anything that hasn't had a decent life before it's served up for my enjoyment...

Fuck intensive farming... these animals are beings n all... not food products...

I don't care if it drives down cost... intensive farming is wrong wrong wrong (n tastes shite in comparison)...

 

[Northern Star]

God bless Tescos and the two chickens for £5.50

I eat 6 a week.

Gas 'em sooner and fit more in the barns. Feed 'em super hardcore chicken steroids. Get the price down to £4.50

Always thought it was strange when people want something they kill and eat to have a "nice life"

wow brutal :|

Ah well......with that attitude I'll feel happy in the knowledge that the chickens you are eating have been sat in their own shit for a good few weeks because of the way they are raised Lovely stuff.

You can rule out your steaks then and switch to minced beef, because steaks come from very young steers that are killed young because they can't be used for dairy farming and mince usually comes cattle that's too old to breed.

Or get organic happy meat...

I had some last crimble at my mates... tasted fuckin lush - they rub the bellies of the animals & whisper sweet nothings to them

Happy Meats - Traditional rare breed free range meat

 

[Jiglo]

Nice one Shooms!

I'd like to try the Japanese cows that have been rasied on beer and grain. Supposed to be the tastiest out there

Weird how just distressing cows for a short while before their death makes the meat bad :|

You end up with more expensive, but much better meat though mate.

Farmers hate having to farm like that and only do it to produce cheap shite, because thats what the Supermarkets have conditioned the public to expect.

As a farmers son, I know it breaks many farmers hearts to rear animals like that and those that refuse just go bust.

Organic is a bit of a con generally (well overloaded prices). . . but free range is well good enough.

Well done to Jamie (even if he is a fat tongued Mockney and annoying) for raising the profile of the issue and even upsetting Sainsbury's despite the fact he works for them.

I do believe that animals destined for our plates, should be farmed in a manner which "feels" right. Clearly what we saw last night "feels" wrong and that is because it is wrong.

Screw your supermarket, re-discover your local butcher, Baker, Greengrocer, fishmonger or farm shop.

Ask them where your food has come from and how it was grown or reared.

Re-connect with your food. It is one of the great joys of life .. . cooking and eating well.

I commend this to the house.

Absolutely bob on... respect your food...

I'll take anything before barrel rolled chicken though.

Noticed it in an Indian recently and suprise suprise it was the cheapest curry house i've had food from:|

Watched this last night and was amazed the farmers only get 3p per chicken - typical supermarket mark ups there.

What surprised me most was the fact that only Sainsburys and Waitrose turned up - what are the other big guns like Tesco, Morrisons etc afraid of? They can't sweep it under carpet forever..

You can imagine them all briefing their staff for the following day after this was broadcast "now, prepare for customers coming in ranting about chickens have rights too"

35-39 days is no life at all though

Weren't Tesco's the ones who made a big deal about introducing the 2.99 (and more recently 2.50) chickens? Maybe that's why they didn't show up.

I know everyone's of their own opinion, but IMO Waitrose & Sainzys are 2 of the best in terms of the quality of their meat (just from shopping there)... Marksies possibly go in the same group. But yer Morrissons, Tesco, Asda, Somerfield etc... for me that lot are no better than Lidl or Netto.

Doesn't surprise me therefore that Waitrose & Sainzys were the only ones turning up.

Totally agree.... plus you get a better sort of tuppage shopping @ Waitrose / M&S

Very true Shooms. . . .But if you have time. . . .support your local quality butcher, you will find the meat much nicer than stuff that's been sat in a polystyrene tray for a few weeks!

Butcher = place to buy meat from? You know that shop with all the meat in the window that used to be there before it became a estate agents!!!!


Use 'em or lose 'em people!

Use the supermarket for washing powder and tinned stuff etc. .. .

Spare a thought, some time and some cash for the ruddy faced bloke with the blood stained apron. . . .Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree to some extent, but it surley depends on the butcher. Ours, for example, is a right wanker who deserves not a penny more of my cash. He is bloody expensive, whilst driving around in a top of the range silly car/trailer. He pays he staff shit wages, and he is a right sexist twat to boot- not to mention how rude he is in general to everyone. He is always closed at random times, plus when he is open he never has anything in. Just because i wasn't 'local' at first he tried his hardest to blank me while serving me.

My friend has a problem with her butcher, he makes prices up to suit depending on customer, and she goes like once a fortnight for loads and everytime he makes out he has never seen her before.

Also the bacon at quite a few butchers is wierd, all fat and shiz. If i had to make a choice, i would go to the local farm shop over the butcher (ours anyway) any day of the week.

Is v true that but family butchers / green grocers / fishmongers have sadly karked it along with the demise of real town centres

it's all super hyper bastard markets on the edge of town now... centralisation of power / monopoly of the market at it's very worst

I do like to use 'real' shops whenever I can because:

- the produce is normally better & local
- the money is kept away from the mass conglomerate power bases

Yes Tescos are cheaper... but the fuckers are slowly taking over the planet a la South Park edpisode about Walmart
