Hello /ck/

If I'm buying chicken in bulk and it comes down to Supermarket vs local butcher, who wins?

Depends on both your supermarket and your butcher, anon.

Sometimes one is cheaper, sometimes it's the other. Call them both and find out.

If you let the butcher fuck you, you'll get his meat for free

In terms of price its easy to distinguish. For now my main debate has been buying from the website "musclefood" which is £28 min for 5kg of guaranteed good quality chicken breast, vs my butcher which is 8 pounds cheaper. My main source of concern is that I really dont know if I'm getting "good cuts" from my butcher. I'm not big into food and mainly eat chicken cause I'm trying to get /fit/.

So call your butcher and ask where their chickens come from.

Your butcher will always be of better quality than elsewhere and I personally have doubts about Musclefood. I bake mine one 2.5kg bag at a time and the baking tray is always a puddle so they obviously inject their breasts with water and so you are getting much less actual meat when they are cooked.

My local butcher is halal, so I go for the supermarket stuff. Costco are great for chicken in bulk. Just freeze it.

My housemate bought a load of that shite in a black friday deal, the meat looks nasty as fuck and it's way overpriced.

Like marketing 'gaming laptops', marketing 'high protein' meat is just a way to charge more.

Obviously your local butcher if his meat is cheaper. And even if it's not but you can afford it, still your local butcher.

My ancestors were slaughtered/enslaved/forcibly converted by Muslims and I feel uncomfortable supporting their religious practices and animal cruelty.

Very slow and painful death for the animal

It's a hell of a lot faster than a natural death would be. Having the throat slit may not be as fast as a bullet to the brain, but it's sure as fuck not what I'd call "very slow".

>> No.7439067

>>7439042
You lose consciousness well before you actually die, so a throat slit is less of a long painful process.

Natural death is long and a slow decline from aches and pains to complete internal failure

Wouldn't trust musclefood. Guy who runs it seems dodgy as shit - used to sell a penis enlargement device.
