FYI
Aldi and Lidl have started stocking chicken thigh fillets. That's deboned, skinless chicken thighs.
Less than half the price of breast fillet and more than twice the flavour but equally convenient.
@stueytheround Willing to bet this means someone recently invented a machine to debone chicken thighs at scale (or a new one that costs less).
@maybeimaleo Probably. Encouragingly Aldi have recently improved their animal welfare standards to beyond EU requirements for chicken so at least the chickens were well treated.
I often buy chicken legs and thighs and debone them myself because the flavour is so much nicer, but this extra convenience is a handy timesaver.
@stueytheround I switched to thigh meat a while back, very content.
@stueytheround My notoriously cheap other half just discovered Lidl's £2 ugly produce box for fruit and veg that isn't selling. (I'm sure they have a catchier name for it.)
It's a serious amount of food, but you have to catch them right at opening time or the other misers scoop them up.
@SnelsetterFarm Yes! Those veg boxes are amazing if you can get one. Total pot luck on ehat's in them, so you eat fruit and veggies you might not buy at full price.
@stueytheround It's a good problem to have 🥕 🥦 🥔 🍅
@stueytheround Mmm. Butter chicken, here I come.
