Which is all fine assuming you can afford the more expensive free range chicken. Some actually can't. Now I can afford to and I do and one goes for roast chicken, some sort of leftover meal and soup and stock. However, there have been times that I haven't been able to afford them and I've bought the 2 for a fiver and turned a blind eye to the practices.

Wenchy - knowing you are a Surrey girl and therefore entirely honest, would the times you couldn't have afforded free range also be the times you were smoking?  rubschin:

Nope. I'd given up because I couldn't afford it. It was a bare bones existence for a couple of years.


i am glad that u gave up

Tough times then. If I had know, I would have let you borrow my tackle  eyes: and you could have feasted on the finest Wandle Trout at no cost...

It reminds me of the times I couldn't afford the Foie Gras and the white veal.... sad24:

Next time the Wechy wants to marinade her breasts I suggest Coca Cola, very tasty, and some lime leaves too.

Again Lil Bruvver supplies us.  ::) Sorry.
Used to get them from a Kosher butcher in Gants Hill ~ but that's probably a long drive to spend 50pence ... have you tried Tesco? Usually frozen mind but they still work well in most dishes.

No more than 5 mins, although uphill. Bus takes you there as well.

Yes, but that's the namby-pamby English rosé stuff, not the nice white French stuff, where the calves have been penned in tiny wooden crates, unable to move and only fed on milk - tastes far better as the crates give a nice oakey taste and calves tears keep the meat nice and tender *   8)
