To refuse to eat Iceland chicken

[SpecialLittleLady]

I bought a bag of frozen sliced chicken because a friend said it was good for quick lunches on weight watchers. I tried it today and it is vile, it has a really odd soft consistency with almost a smooth texture. My husband would go mad if I threw out a big bag of chicken but I really don't think I can face feeding this to anyone let alone eating it myself

Make him eat it.

I've had chicken like that before - I suspect it's actually chicken mince/offcuts that have been reformed. Don't think I could bring myself to chuck away a whole bag though - could you make lots of chicken soup maybe?

[DreamingOfThruxtons]

I don't eat meat, so can't advise that well, but could you maybe use it in soup or something else?

[sparechange]

Make shredded chicken and then the consistency won't be obvious...

[KakiFruit]

He's the one with the problem, so he eats it!

[noeffingidea]

I'd just disguise it in soup, risotto, stirfry, etc. Anything where it can be chopped up small and mixed up with other ingredients.

[Janeymoo50]

It's cheap so you get what you pay for but I agree with the taste of it although it makes for an OK pasta salad with crunchy veggies.

[Xmasbaby11]

Sounds vile. I'd chuck it.

[RatherBeRiding]

Not unreasonable at all. Cheap meat is generally cheap for a reason - it is mass produced poor quality crap, probably bulked out with water and heaven knows what else and don't even get me started on the welfare standards.

Try doing it as pulled chicken in the slowpot? should change the texture and you can batch it up so you don't have to eat all over the next couple of weeks.
(that would be the lack of muscle tone from being penned on top of the rehydration solution they pump it full of, so not worth doing to yourself op)

[Dexterjamesmummy]

Throw out a portion everyday so he doesn't notice and thinks you ate it. If it's that bad don't eat it, I wouldn't.

I once bought Iceland frozen chicken breast strips. They were disgusting and we threw out the rest of the bag.

YANBU at all.

[MoMoTy]

Yanbu,buy cheap and you get that exact quality. Throw a bit out a day or make it only for him to eat.

[MarvellousCake]

I would throw it out.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Those bags of frozen meat look putrid.

[Catphrase]

I buy their breaded chicken goujons. Honestly they are the nicest I've ever had. Much much nicer than m and s or waitrose!!

That sandwich cooked meat looks grim though!

[Summerisle1]

It's cheap for a reason so not only would I not buy it, I'd also not eat it. But then I don't have a husband who dream of 'going mad' if I chose to dispose of it. Not that I like wasting food, it has to be said.

[seafoodeatit]

I wouldn't eat it, I too would either only cook enough for OH or just throw it out and never buy it again.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Pass it on to a friend or neighbour with a dog who'd happily scoff the lot.

That way you get rid of it without wasting it.

[LagunaBubbles]

I think the one you get in Aldi is ok.

[Janeymoo50]

Oh and Iceland Pizzas are totally yummy (and far cheaper than branded ones), especially the Italian stone baked thin ones.

[IfItsGoodEnough4ShirleyBassey]

Do you have a cat?
Or a deep fat fryer to DIY KFC?

[IfItsGoodEnough4ShirleyBassey]

Actually if you're doing WW then presumably you're not up for DIY KFC, but you could do it for your DH as a treat. Or keep it frozen until you visit someone with a dog.

[littlemermaid80]

I'm totally with you!! Iceland chicken is VILE. Bought a packet of chicken breasts once and couldn't believe how horrid it was.

[WitchWay]

do you have cats? they'd love it
