organic food/bottled water/cornfed chickens

[AgentOrange]

Do you guys pay much attention to this organic craze? Ive started eating cornfed chicken meat and it tastes bloody good the whole colour and texture is quite differnt.. Makes ya wonder what tegal pump into their chickens.

And water do ya drink good ole tap h20? or bottled ? maybe filtered?? Me persoanlly taps fine.

No doubt about it we are big food consumers here is anyone thinking about where our foods coming from??

After watching the 'River Cottage Spring' series on TV1 earlier this year it got me interested in cornfed chicken. Cant say I noticed much difference in taste, but it was morally more correct I guess.

I have heard all the rumours about chicken companies pumping their chickens full of hormones, which is why woman have larger breasts these days, but I have a close friend who raised all the chickens for Inghams, and he swears they didnt add anything dodgy to their feed.

I buy a big 1.25L pump every now and again purely for the drink bottle. Theirs nothing wrong with our standard water supply in Hamilton :grin:

If anyone remembers Petra Baghurst's TV program about what's in our chickens...I was on that program, and corn fed chicken tastes like crap. All of us on the tasting panel that day noticed the difference for sure.

Since then though I've heard that you have to cook it different to usual chicken and it's quite nice, you gotta boil it imo.

My misses works for Tegal, her job is to buy in the millions of tonnes of corn each month and all other supplies the Tegal chickens consume.

They don't use hormones don't be silly.

Interestingly, they pay hundreds of pounds for a single egg from England from which they breed from. They innoculate the shit out those birds then breed again from them, innoculate the s**t out of those birds and bred again. The final 3rd generation bird is left uninnoculated which is the one we eat so they don't even have that in them. (They do it as innocculation slows growth down and they can produce a bird inside 30-something days).

Morally more correct? Rapid-growth chicken is more sustainable.

They didn't tell you that the chicken who has to spend another 6 weeks growing actually eats more corn and drinks more water did they? Oooops.

I recently bought an organic, free range, corn feed chicken. Cooked on the BBQ, everyone who tried it was really impressed by the flavour. As I do this regularly it wasn't my cooking :clap:
