To refuse to eat Iceland chicken

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 Sad

I tried it once, was vile. Tried feeding it to the dog who gave it a cautious sniff then moved away. Bin it.

I kno rxactly the consistency you describe and it is indeed vile.

I suggest boxing it up and sending it to the orange one.

This kind of chicken tends to be imported from Thailand where it is processed and then transported to the uk in large vacuum packed slabs. It goes to 'chicken-based' restaurant chains, Chinese takeaways and to form products like the one you bought.

No I'm not scared of my husband he would just mock me for buying such utter crap and then be irritated that I waisted £5 on it. I did try your give it you the cats but they turned their nose up at it which says it sll really. I think a friend with dogs will be getting a little visit very soon. Thanks everyone I was thinking I had gone mad but it really is the poorest excuse for chicken I have ever seen.

I once bought their cook from frozen diced chicken breast, it was horrendous and I'm afraid I did bin it as I couldn't face eating it again!

You shouldn't have to eat something you don't like just to avoid upsetting your husband. Let him eat it if he is so concerned about waste.

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

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.

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

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

I think the one you get in Aldi is ok.

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.

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

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.

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!
