The whole I'm poor and I can't afford it comment is bollocks.

Think of the RICE!

I get most of my meat off the clearance area. Pride has nothing to do with it, I can just shop better and eat better that way. It's other people's pride that lets me do that though. In my freezer I have mixed game, a venison steak, a pheasant, 3 rump steaks, 1 sirloin steak, beef kidney, a selection of top end sausages, two lamb shanks and a good cut of lamb divided into 3. I haven't paid as much as the cheapest cuts for any of that and I don't deliberately visit the supermarket at any particular time or day. People would rather eat a packet of cheap chicken breasts instead. I don't care, it means I can cook and eat like a king. Yes I'm bragging because I know it's better than what you've all got in your freezers and I haven't tried to make it like that, it just is as a result of sensible shopping.

Anyway, gone way off topic on a rant. Damn vegetarians

I have to agree with Jonny. I do actually care about where my meat comes from and I always try and buy meat which has come from properly treated animals. The same goes for eggs - if they don't have free range, I won't buy it. I only buy free range chicken, which usually comes from the local farm shop as it's cheaper and I always get the thighs and bone them because it's much cheaper and tastier than the breast. We don't eat a huge amount of chicken anyway though. I don't generally walk past the discount bit of the fridge section because I usually just skip the meat, but I'll definitely have a look next time

One thing which annoys me is the lack of info you get when you dine out. We don't do it often at all, but when we do it'd be nice to know where the meat came from.

However, this is my personal choice and I'm happy with it. I'm not trying to come across as 'holier than thou' and I respect that other people have the right to choose what they eat. I hate it when people force their views on others and belittle them because of the choices they have made. Pressure really isn't the way to persuade people into thinking about where their food comes from and will only cause offense.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed their duck

I've found it really tricky out here to tell what my eggs are. Only one or two brands even bother to specify if their eggs are free range or not, and speaking with people here on the subject tends to get a "are what?" response.

I buy Asda smart price meat most of the time. I have 2 kids and myself to feed on a strict budget.

I try to be mindful of where the meat has come from and stuff, but if I always followed my conscience, I'd have no money left at all after a food shop.

Didn't get it in the end, couldn't see any special offer, just Peking duck at 7.99..

I've come up empty handed too - though it certainly doesn't help that I don't really know what I'm looking for. I found various parts of duck and some pre-prepared crispy duck that didn't look very appealing.

I'm in Sainsbury's for the nezt hour if anyone has any clues (please text me as I look like a dork posting in the middle of the chilled food aisle

)

Ha-ha I can just imagine a confused bloke texting, in teh chilled isle.

It'll be with the Chinese chilled ready meals. Usually a whole isle. Split into American, Chinese, Indian, Italian, English..
