People never fail to surprise me...

Good grief, what can she have meant ?

Chicken ?

I would laugh, but it's a sad sign how detached people really are from where their food comes from <shakes head>

Reminds me of a far side cartoon of a boneless chicken ranch!

? What a looper. I'd have burst out laughing had I been there.

I said to the butcher that he is going to start having signs saying" sausages may contain pork "etc, she was well into 30's as well.

? that is hilarious but really quite scary, I am not even sure it is about being detached from where their food comes from, just a massive lack of common sense or pure stupidity!

?

I can't imagine what she meant - does you think chickens grow in ruskoline?

? Skinless chicken

Holy moly, what a dim-wit ?

Fark me! Proper skinless chicken from Asda!

Reminds me of a time I told a colleague I'd just planted some rocket seeds in my garden. She pulled a disgusted face and said, "Ew, i wouldn't eat anything that came out of a garden, it would be all dirty!'

I was once asked by a year 11 pupil how they made milk, I replied that they didn't make milk... it came from cows.

She rolled her eyes at me and said "Yeah I *know* that but how do they make the cows into milk?"

Silly, silly me ?

Hilarious but also quite sad. I took an 18 yr old on a fieldtrip last year - very intelligent, 4 A's at A level. street wise etc etc - he pointed at a cow and said 'do we eat any of that'? I was like um, yes, burgers, steaks, mince. He couldn't even say where he had thought those things came from.

? at some of these. It really is terribly sad that people have no clue where food comes from. The milk one and rocket ones really made me laugh though. My 4 year old knows where most things come from, we grow lots at home butwe have discussed where meat comes from with him because he asked. He did spend five minutes saying he wouldn't eat meat again but we discussed it andhe decided he would.

Blimey, I am really shocked by these. We're positive hippies by comparison - the kids are always involved in growing veg and cooking it, we keep chickens etc.

I *do* remember Jonathan being very confused about meat when he started to realise where it came from (aged about 5). I distinctly remember him asking if he cut the feathers off our budgie would the meat be underneath ?

Proper skinless chicken breasts? the woman is clearly insane, I'm really shocked at a grown woman talking like that!

Crikey. What's strangest is that she knew enough to ask for free range...

I thought that at the time, it's a bit of a trendy butcher at the mo, lots of positive PR etc,

I am still quite in shock, it's weird that people are so un-educated food wise after JO, HFW etc. I asked my kids tonight where did skinless chicken come from? and they said a chicken..We buy our lamb straight from the farm so our children are more informed than alot but that really shocked me today.

Tomorrow I am off out to find a strawberry milk cow?
