I usually get the cooked stuff from Sainsbury's. But yeah, don't mind paying for quality. I wanna keep my muscles and 6 pack. The main mid supermarkets' chicken breast is literally awful. Chewy, watery. Even their free range eggs are kinda sh!t now.

I've noticed that - cheap eggs used to be perfectly fine but now I swear you crack one and the whites are watery?? Like if you try to fry it, it's spread thin all over the pan. Weird as fk. Never thought I'd be the one buying the £3-for-6 "golden" eggs in the fancy black box, but here I am, because you need to to get an actual normal egg. We're moving next year and my wife wants us to get chickens at our new house. I've been vetoing the idea because it will definitely, 100% be me that ends up having to clean up after these chickens, but I'm actually quite tempted by the idea of a supply of good eggs. That's what the world has come to. Having to get a decent egg directly out of a chicken. Supermarket quality standards are in the bin.

(Brexit... or tbf might just be since Covid)

Find yourself a farm shop or a butchers that sells free range, both the butchers we use sell eggs and they are delicious .... my bro in law had chickens in Ireland but they are alot of work and what do you do with them when you go away,you cant put them in kennels or take them with you :laugh: and also what happens when they get too old to lay :worry:

The big trays often have a sneaky 7th one as it's by weight so it'll be either 6 very large or 7 with 4 very large and 3 "quite large".

Title needs updated again, "Chicken product tips"
