So I only eat British meat - I wouldn't be rude enough to refuse to eat a meal if it was made with non British meat, but I personally would only buy British meat. Reasons include I want to support our farmers, i think it's better quality and I just don't want to buy something that's been imported when I could get it from mr farmer down the road etc. I also prefer to shop local if I can help it so boyfriend and I decided to try the butchers down the road (normally I'll get meat from greatbritishmeatcompany). He went in the day before to have a look and specifically asked the butchers where their chicken was from and he said Dorset. We went in today and bought 5kg for £25 as that was the advertised deal. Got home and checked the pack which said slaughtered and packaged in Poland.

AIBU to assume that all the chicken was from the UK? I never thought that the meat in the deal might have been from elsewhere. I've still supported a local business so will eat it on this occasion but should I mention something to them? its definitely not as good quality as what I would normally get and only a few £ cheaper!

Is anyone else's head hurting from reading this thread I think some people don't have a grasp of basic geography please don't ever learn how to drive you might end up in Poland. Op I don't think the butcher lied he answered the question that you asked chances are that chicken is from Dorset which is in ENGLAND but it was probably transported over to Poland to be killed next time ask where the chicken was slaughtered.
