"Chefs Larder" Chicken
Discussion
I regularly but a pack of skinless chicken breasts from Booker Cash and Carry for £9.99. They come in small, medium and large, with small you get around 13 breasts and with large around 9.
The brand is "Chefs Larder" and the packaging clearly states that it is all 100% chicken meat with no added water or preservatives. It tastes and cooks OK, but gut instinct is causing me to question the meats integrity.
How do you think it would compare with butchers breasts, and am I being paranoid?

I'd check the country of origin, it should be on the packet and it'll give you a better idea of what may or may not have been pumped into it; UK laws are stricter than most.
But, at that price, they aren't going to have had a happy little life in the fields...
It's strange how concern for animal welfare, organic food has wained during the recession?But, at that price, they aren't going to have had a happy little life in the fields...
If all you're doing is making a curry then I'm sure the basics chicken will tste fine.

I'm not sure it has?But, don't think of me as some kind of lentil-weaver. For quite a while, possibly even still, the US allowed cows to be given BST (a steroid). It gave them internal ulcers, which ruptured, and there was quite literally puss in their milk. Which was sold to the public. For years.
Call me self-centred, if you want...

Now, if they can pick up 3 chicks for £10
Or a shirt for a couple of ££ they're happy.
