Is that stuff mechanically recovered? I looked at it the other week and assumed it must be at £1.99 a bucket.


the lild ones? are just breasts or legs coated, they are normally £3 or so in a tray in the cool section

I saw a whole frozen cabinet filled with looky-likey KFC 10-piece bucket at £1.99, so it may not be the same thing. I can't see how it can be sold at that price. At least KFC, which people seem to be slagging off, whether they've tried it or not, is made from fresh chicken prepared in store (hence current supply issues!)

And there you have the reason why. In the meat trade when anything isn’t looking it’s best fresh they coat or marinade it to hide the fact.

I am bemused to see such condemnation of KFC emanating from a nation whose citizens are reputed to consume mushy peas at times when they are not facing the prospect of imminent death by starvation.

(Thinks — Cat. Pigeons. Let's see what happens if we put them together. 8) )

Now you've done it. Nothing wrong with mushy peas, as it happens - they are like, well, peas, only, well, mushier.

Sorry to hear about your 'trots' experience, but eating the same of any foodstuff so often is bad news. Especially a ready meal with god knows what additives (intentional or otherwise). "A few days a week" is not good. Were you so addicted to this particular meal that you were eating it to the exclusion of all else?

Sorry if this sounds patronising, but think "variation"!

According to the Guardian DHL are at fault but not in the way people are expecting.
