Frozen meat

BensGrandad · Feb 7, 2013

When I was younger it was common practice to buy frozen whole chickens or frozen 1/2 shoulder of New Zealand lamb but I cannot seem to find them in any of the supermarkets/Iceland. Where in the Brighton area sells these if they are still available. Where used to buy the lamb and do a half shoulder per person on meals in the pub in Midhurst but now all that appears to be available at a semi sensible price are lamb shanks..

Buy it fresh and pop it in the freezer :shrug:

They have both at the big Tesco's at Bursledon. Would have thought either Church Road or Holmbush would keep them as well.

Sainsburys west hove have frozen meat

All I can find is frozen chicken portions no actual whole chickens. the reason for buyng frozen is price and in such things as curry or casserole it doesnt make a lot of difference except wife likes breast and I prefer leg, so a whole chicken makes sense rather than portions. The same with lamb she prefers leg I prefer shoulder so again a 1/2 shoulder for me makes sense.

Tried Tesco Burgess Hill and Sainsburys Haywards Heath and no success with either, only fresh English Lambs and frozen chicken portions.

If you can't find anything in store, pop down to the customer service desk and they'll get a grocery colleague to assist :thumbsup:

That is not the point, how fresh are fresh chickens to then freeze. Frozen food is done as soon as it is either picked in the case of vegables or when the meat is killed and prepared, not a week later.

I didn't really get the impression you were going for quality seeing as you stated you were looking for cheap frozen chickens you can throw into a curry. Why not make a curry with the fresh 2.50 chicken and do away with the freezing altogether?

If you can't find whole chickens or lamb shoulder in the freezer section at Asda , pop down to the customer service desk and they'll get a frozen colleague to assist :thumbsup:

going to the Worthing branch tomorrow to have a look

Driving all round Sussex to see if any stores stock your requirements, will make it the dearest chicken/lamb in England.
Why not try their on-line grocery deleiveries, at least if they are on the e-lists then you know they are available

BensGrandad · Feb 7, 2013

I am going to Worthing visiting so it is not a problem but that is so obvious I hadnt thought of that.

BensGrandad · Feb 7, 2013

checked it out Asda dont do whole frozen chickens only portions or whole turkeys and Tesco only do an Organic one with 2 days notice.
