AIBU to think that chicken breasts packs of 2

should be roughly the same size....

Why do supermarkets think that we'll be content to get home to find that a chicken breast pack of 2 has one gigantic breast and one teeny one?

Disclaimer lighthearted thread....

And while I'm at it why oh why do people think it's ok to dawdle at the the bottom of an escalator? Why?

are they not sold on weight per pack though?

So one giant brat and one small breast = two mediumized breasts

fluffyduffydoo · 02/09/2014 23:07

breast not brat.

One giant brat is a whole other thread Grin

I think fluffy might be concerned in case her DH expects to get the big breast.

I'm with her on those escalators, though,

ADishBestEatenCold · 02/09/2014 23:29

No cancel that.

I think goodnessgracious might be concerned in case her DH expects to get the big breast.

ADishBestEatenCold · 02/09/2014 23:31

Although, for all I know fluffy's DH could expect to get a big breast, too.

Probably came from un unbalanced chicken

I hate that with steaks too, maybe Sainsburys expect me to eat a teeny tiny steak like a sweet little woman and let DH eat the humungous man-sized one Hmm
Btw, Have you noticed you now get "chicken breast portions" which are chicken breasts with a bit lopped off, leaving them the right shape so you barely notice they're a smidge smaller but someone is making extra profit somewhere? They're more uniform size but that annoys me too as I feel cheated!

I hate people who stop dead in doorways or groups who mill about or walk abreast blocking the pavement too

THis pisses me off because I make kiev or bacon wrapped stuff breast quite often. You end up with either a perfectly cooked small one and a raw large one, or a perfectly cooked large one and an incinerated small one!

Sell them by numbers not weight please Mr Tesco!

SpringBreaker · 02/09/2014 23:43

yanbu at all.. I buy them to make kievs and when one is the size of a chicken nugget its no use to me

Bogeyface · 02/09/2014 23:43

Oh and re:escalators....

To the lady in Asda today....Yes it was lovely that you met your old school friend by chance, I get that you wanted to chat but did you really need to do it with both husbands, 2 teens and 2 massively fully trolleys halfway out of the doorway?

You through I was rude when I said "EXCUSE ME PLEASE" but thats because when I said it as normal volume you didnt even register me (or the other people who asked) so raising my voice was the only option!

Bogeyface · 02/09/2014 23:44

Sorry for typos, on the tab and it thinks it can read my mind!

MrsBungle · 02/09/2014 23:45

Yanbu. Pisses me off. I baked 2 breasts in the oven for tonight's tea and had to hack away at the big one in order to equal up the portions.

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 02/09/2014 23:47

Apparently it's fairly normal for one breast to be bigger than the other Grin

ACheesePuff · 02/09/2014 23:50

You need to rummage, don't you look at the breasts until you get them home?

Bogeyface · 02/09/2014 23:54

Acheese ask a man that Q and the answer will always be "YES"! :o

ItStill I know that's a typo, but....................(best ask to pull it off thread)

Pull it......Pullet

taxi4ballet · 03/09/2014 00:53

And - why do they sell lamb chops in packs of 5?

I'm an escalator dawdler - truthfully, I am terrified of the bloody things. I will chase a bull out a field, get in a stall with two warring stallions, stand with my hand up inside a cow all day but try to use an escalator and I need a moment for some momentum. Stairs weren't meant to move.

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 03/09/2014 08:11

Mortified at my typo. So sorry. Have asked for it to be removed.

BaronessBomburst · 03/09/2014 08:18

It's a typo. B and N are adjacent on the keyboard. You had 'fir' instead of 'for' as well.
Really, don't stress about it. I autocorrected it in my head anyway and had to go back to see what you meant.

ICanSeeTheSun · 03/09/2014 09:18

Handy for a lone parent to 1 child I suppose, silver lining and all that.

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 03/09/2014 09:41

Thank u baroness Thanks
MN have edited it now. Thanks MN too!

QuintessentiallyQS · 03/09/2014 09:43

The large breast is a saline implant, doncha know? It will implode in a gust of water when you put it on the pan....
