“Cooler…. 20 days!” or as I know it, buying a chicken from ASDA
OK, I’ll come clean, I fucking hate ASDA, who it invites, what it stands for and the fact you can buy 2 whole chickens for 10 quid (need to get this no pound sign sorted soon)
We had roast at home with all the house-mates on Sunday gone and they bought the chicken from ASDA, sorry to be a meat fascist but if you are buying meat there is a great butchers 5 minute walk from the house that sources their chickens in Sussex.
The chickens bought were not free-range, farm assured or cornfed (fuck me it’s ASDA, what did I expect), but trying to explain to my house-mates why it is wrong to buy that sort of meat (moral, ethical, environmental and taste reasons) was hard.
These chickens came with the baseball glove still on their hands and the barbwire scrathes from trying to jump the fence on a motorbike
I am still trying to get over the false economy facts of shopping at a place like that, when all I hear is “it didn’t taste that good” “Well stop fucking buying that shit then, and shop at somewhere decent!!”
Oh hey, you’re blogging again. Or were you always blogging and I just haven’t been checking?
Anyway, cheap meat=bad. M’kay?

MMM always knew Asda was cheap and nasty. All that bottom patting certainly not an image I am comfortable with. I keep wondering if they wash their hands before touching the food. Their adverts which crow about how much cheaper they are on hundreds of products than other supermarkets. Its only because they sell cheap, non humane, entirely unethical food. You note that no TV stars endorse Asda’s food, no christmas advert shot in the pantiles with Richard Hammond for them, no jamie Oliver in his catering lorry cooking traditional christmas food for them, no voice overs by famous stars. I think I had a bit of a rant there. Stick to your principles buy good locally sourced food, buy free range or outdoor reared.
