does roast chicken sometimes smell like poo

[zippitippitoes]

..or is it just ones from tesco..

particularly the wings or is it the more fatty bits?

[sunnywong]

why oh why would you be asking that question at 7.25 in the morning?

[zippitippitoes]

because i have gone off chicken and thinking of reverting to vege (was for 15 years and then started eating meta again), had it last night and thought this and

my dd wok me up ringing at 5.30am to say she is really ill and wanting me to advise/do something and via various phone calls ..I am still up!

[sunnywong]

was it a free range or organic chicken? If not then yes, it probably was essence of shit


don't go veggie, just buy the best meat you can afford from a good butcher little and often.

[Blandmum]

The only one I ever had that smelled of shit, still had shit inside it!

[zippitippitoes]

free range possibly organic i can't remember..

I've noticed this on lots of occasions in the last few months..

[zippitippitoes]

I never look inside

that has put me right off!

[dejags]

ewwww zippi thats horrid.

you'd not see me eating/cooking/touching a chicken that stinks of poo.

ewwwwww

[zippitippitoes]

I only notice once it's cooking but then all i do is unwrap put in tray sprinkle with pepper and put in oven

[Blandmum]

Oh, you should always wash out a chicken, organic , ordinary or blessed by the pope!
one I got from tescos still had chicken shit in it.

[zippitippitoes]

roast chicken struck through then..I thought they had whacking great machines to clean them with

[Blandmum]

They suck up the guts with a vacuum type thingie. generaly it is all very efficient.

Small bits, however, might be missed....shouldn't be but might be. Basic food prep, youshould was out a chicken before you cook it

[Tutter]

eugh

cracking thread for breakfast time

i don't rinse my chicken but will be doing from now on...

[zippitippitoes]

but food tovernment people endorse not washing..and don't envisage wiping the inside with a towel

[Blandmum]

Then my job here is done.....

swish of Superchickenwasher Womann Cape and exit , stage left!

[Blandmum]

I wash and shake out the inside. I dab the outside with kitchen roll.

I'm fairly sure tat the wee label on the outside says to wash them out.

My mother always insisted

[itsmeNDP]

now i thought that washing a chicken out was vetoed nowawdays because of the risk of contaminating your prep area. Surely the heat of the oven and duration of cooking kills any nasties ?

[zippitippitoes]

but the poo presumably becomes tasty essence of poo?

[Bozza]

Don't think my Mum ever washed them out. But this has nicely put me off my toast.

[itsmeNDP]

Mmmm, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious

[Blandmum]

NDP, it think it was more to remove the possibility of eau de Merde de Poulet

I do it over the sink (wash out the bird nown else!) I also have a raw =meat board so my prep area is still oK

Once you have discovede one shitty bird, yo'll wash em out.....trust me!

[zippitippitoes]

I actually thought that this might be soemthing to do with something in the chicken fat not actual poo

yukyuk

[itsmeNDP]

& [vomit] in equal measure

I leave roast dinners to DH, I am crap at them

[zippitippitoes]

any body want a nice cold chicken i have in the fridge?

sandwiches and soup?
