loraward Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I got a mailshot from Netto today trumpeting their £2 chickens. Does this make you want to go to Netto and grab a bargain or does it make you a little sad? Putting to one side for a moment the issue of animal welfare, battery farming and disease, is it even a bargain? Looking at the small chicken on the mailshot I'd be hard pressed to make one meal out of it. It could possibly feed two at a pinch with plenty of veg but the legs are so small they could double as toothpicks. You'd be better off eating a nice bit of free range pigeon and they are free.

The Joker Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You'd be better off eating a nice bit of free range pigeon and they are free. Agreed, but make sure it really is free range (ie, from the countryside) and not the tatty city variety, that lives off the vomit of drunks. Has anyone tried squirrel? Yep, tastes like... chicken!

Halibut Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wouldn't buy one. At that price, they must have a hideous life before dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 More and more meat we eat is Halal. Its becoming the default food. Where this leaves Jews and Hindus I don't know, but I don't suppose they matter in this increasingly Islamified country. I don't see how Jews would be any more disadvantaged by Halal meat than they would have been by non-Halal meat, previously. (Assuming that there is a hidden switch over to Halal that some appear to fear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 £2 for a bird over 1kilo. A bargain, if it aint been pumped full of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my luck I would end up catching, killing and eating a tatty city variety on a visit to the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 More and more meat we eat is Halal. Its becoming the default food. I've seen a big Halal line open in Morissons, quite frankly the meat looks rank :gag: At the one I've seen it at, you can always be sure the Halal section is stuffed when all the other ones are empty :hihi::hihi: ---------- Post added 25-06-2015 at 10:47 ---------- But I thought Jews and Moslems both ate only animals that were slaughtered by the same method. Couldn't Jews and Moslems therefore eat the same meat? Don't they also offer a prayer to the meat or something after it's been slaughtered?? I'm not sure a Muslim would be happy eating his chicken if he knew it was tainted with Jewish prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
