    This is what was in the chicken breast:

    Ingredient Declaration
    Chicken Breast (51%)

    Flour (Wheat, Maize, Rice)

    Water

    Rapeseed Oil

    Breadcrumb (Wheat Flour, Water, Yeast, Salt)

    Wheat Starch

    Salt

    Palm Oil

    Cornflour

    Raising Agents (E450, E500)#

    Spices

    Natural Colour (Curcumin)

    Dextrose

    Sunflower Oil

    Pepper Extract

    Vegetable Stock (Salt, Dextrose, Onion, Carrot, Shallots, Leek, Tomato, Paprika)

    Garlic Powder

    Onion Powder

    #E450 and E500 are the basic ingredients of Baking Powder, which is used to make the batter light and crispy

    They are breaded chicken.. mystery solved.

    There was never a beeding mystery, Jesus Christ, are there people this stupid out there??

    A 100% means everything is chicken breast?

    100% of the chicken part of the meal is chicken breast. If you buy a box of breaded chicken and expect it to be 100% chicken breast then you'll be disappointed when you open the box and find plain chicken fillets. Now that would be confusing.

    Oh FFS! They've even gone so far as to explain the chicken thing underneath the ingredients and it's still confusing :(

    If they removed them, you would probably have just bought a box of mould :pac:

    A lot of people complain about these added ingredients but they're fine to eat and are made from natural sources .

    But all food is mould. I suppose as soon as your fruit and vegetables are at the end of harvest, they will go to mouldyness if not peppered with some fine pesticides. Umm... pesticides.

    Still.. There is an awful lot of the E's in this processed food. Ah well, won't be purchasing that E-food again, unless it gives me a high.

    Very misleading, 'made with 100% chicken breast', but how much of it is actually chicken breast? Not a whole lot I'd imagine.

    A bit like those 'made with 100% beef' burgers, that are actually just frozen fat pattys with additives.

    No. Just stop now. Stop. It's yokes with chicken in. 51% chicken. The rest is the yokes.

    Yokes ? sure I could say I met two yokes on O' Connell street but what are these yokes ?.

    This is getting even more complicated the further we delve in.

    Just cooked one there and cut it in halve when piping hot, but its mashed chicken, no way is it real chicken breast. It basically is just mashed chicken shaped.

    A big golden brown 100% Chicken on the front of the box... Misleading

    I often boil chicken breast and the consistency of it looks as if as you say "mashed" but that's just what it looks like.

    It's a chicken.

    Cheap chicken is just a tasteless source of protein. It's also extremely cruel to the creature. You can pick up a decent sized organic bird for around €15. It tastes delicious and is still good value.

    Ah, you're talking about the real chicken breasts. Yes they are proper chicken, compared to this crazy chicken scenario here those chicken fillets boiled with nice chipper curry or indian curry really hits the spot indeed.

    Amazing though that they can get away with selling 51% chicken as 100% chicken. Some folks here will beat me with a rhythm stick talking about chickens, but the processed ones as I have seen cooked are basically only fit for the bin unless on a serious budget.

    Dip one of these things into the river liffey and it would be an absolute chemical disaster. But does it taste nice... ? no, terrible stuff.

    That must be the Arnold Schwarzenegger of organic poultry! :D

    I'd rarely consciously go for organic but that would be a mighty sized chicken for that price surely, even taking into account that organically sourced produce is generally that bit dearer.

    Maybe it's just the cost of living difference between Germany and Ireland, I dunno?

    As much as I'd like to I don't think raising chickens in the apartment would pass with the management company! Or with the Baroness for that matter!

    Monsanto genetically modified seeds. 'Burn the thing' I heard a few times in the local chipper regarding a dinner-box. The cook says ok no questions asked ? well cooked chicken seems to be the menu of the week.

    I'm going getting a few at home this summer as I could put them to bigger weights etc and would hopefully be healthier when cooked etc


    Only issue is not to make too much of a pet of em :)

    I for one only eat partridge, shot on the Estate, and reared on a diet of heather and commoners. Our "Smug Villas Partridge Pancakes" contain 100% Partridge, feathers, pellets and all. Taste shyte, but you can feel the opulence oozing out of every moreish pancakey fold..
