What's going on? Had to venture into our Town Centre yesterday, Cattle Market has bit the dust, The York was shut and on Bradshawgate, all the block from the Bookies on the corner to the old BMW place is empty (Including The Leena - no great loss, the new indian restaurant up the road is good).

 

Over the road the news stand that's been there since forever has also shut up shop. Perhaps the declining sales of 'toddy mags', due to the internet, was the final nail in the coffin?

 

Is this sommat to do with the new bus/rail interchange they're planning? It's going to be almost as welcoming as the current 'Gateway to Bolton' (you know, the one way street leading out of town...)

 

It's embarrassing when the likes of Bury and even Wigan, are showing us up as a right shithole.

Supermarket chicken is entirely different to stuff strraight from the farm.

 

Very true, we often (sadly not always) get our chicken from the local butchers, we can certainly tell the difference between the bland watery stuff from Sainsburys and that from the butchers.

 

 

On a similar subject, soemthing I don't get is folk who buy meat that is already frozen, such as frozen mince and frozen leg of lamb etc. Surely you would buy themfresh and then freeze them yoursleves (at least that way you can see what state the meat is in prior to it going into deep freeze

My butcher sells frozen chicken mince. The reason he does this is because chicken is much easier to mince when it's frozen he tells me.

It's excellent for making kebab and kofta type stuff. You do have to ask for it though.

I have to say though, the chicken he uses is good stuff to start with as with other meats, most of which are from their own farm.

There's a decent butchers on Ainsworth Lane so no excuses.

 

Real chicken breast is much meatier and doesn't leave a puddle when grilled.

Don't they quick freeze it, which in turn prolongs the erm...freezer life of it? Isn't all New Zealand lamb* frozen? Even that sold in 'real' butchers?

 

 

* And I presume Australian steak too.

it may well be, I just always think it looks a bit grim a solid lump of frozen meat...but I suppose some of the stuff sold as "fresh" may well have been frozen at one point (such as NZ Lamb or Argentinian Beef)

I have found sainsburys to be ok, tesco and asda on the other hand is terrible, more water than meat.

Roadkill Franny, it's the future, always best to get it whilst it's still twitching though and the meat is still fresh. I find the best way to see if it's still fresh is to stick your penis into the critters arse a few times, to see if it's still moist

What if it's not fresh but full of jizz?

is Wayne's World selling Halal Or Kosher meats ?.........................he'll make a killing in our town

I take your point on Halal, though I'm not sure he'll make much on Kosher, there's not many of them Jews knocking about in the BL postal codes.

The spelling and grammar police would have a field day reading his website homepage.

 

Oh, and don't even get me started on the jingle.

They sell Halal in Burnden Asda now, it's miles cheaper and, in some cases, looks more appetizing than the regular stuff...

 

I bought some chicken a few weeks ago and, inshallah, it was alreet.

they'd make the schlep from prestwich,cheetham hill etc in their 1,000's to save 10 bob

And how long before he's known as Wayne Wanker?

Wayne is a bad name on it's own so is there even any need for a comedic addition.

I'm not sure I could have a go on a bloke with a shit name.

This bloke has a shit name, but he'd probably prefer to 'go' on you (or rather his ghost would).
