I really don't know what to do for grilled chicken now I know it's actually South African. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It does have Portuguese influences, the founder was from Portuguese descent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all we have to worry about is the appalling conditions in which the chickens are reared. Red tractor my arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red tractor my arse. I'm not eating in there anymore then. I stopped eating lamb when I found out it was reared in Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's probably committed serious criminal offences - if only according to the judicially dubious doctrine of shared enterprise. I'm not dogmatically against the death penalty.

Ackey Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 You leave him alone! He gets me free ethically questionable chicken on a semi-regular basis that's all that can be asked of a man in this age of austerity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's animal cruelty one minute, human cruelty the next. I'm boycotting Nandos from now on. I might even start rearing chickens so I can be satisfied, as I fancifully turn the spit, that they had a good life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to start rearing my own chickens/pigs but the wife has a problem with a 'pet' being despatched for food. Despite my argument that this would be much more noble for the animals.

Despite my argument that this would be much more noble for the animals. In Germany in medieval times, they'd get the local tanner or slaughterman to double up on occasion as an executioner. The weird thing was that no one would physically touch him. They'd be fine eating the meat and wearing the leather and watching the executions, but the executioner (rather than, for instance, the judge) was a pariah. This sentiment survives - people think meat's okay as long as you're away from the slaughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Tannermen reeled to high heaven of matured piss as well as the various meaty odours. No wonder they did get many dinner party invites. I am worried about the way Zorrro is going though. He'll be making Reuban Reid sit on a designated table at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they did get many dinner party invites. I am worried about the way Zorrro is going though. He'll be making Reuban Reid sit on a designated table at this rate Most things stank to high heaven in medieval times - they wouldn't touch the tannerman / executioner because he was a bringer of death. I think Zorrro should send his tips to the RSPCA to balance things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
