People never fail to surprise me...

I was in my local butchers this afternoon when the lady infront of me asked for 2 skinless free-range chicken breasts, the butcher took 2 breasts off the tray and skinned them and trimmed them, she then said "I don't want those I want proper skinless breasts not breasts with the skin taken off",

The poor butcher really tried politely to say that's what they were but she was having none of it and said she'd leave them and get "proper ones up at asda"

I am thinking there must be some very cold chickens running round Cornwall as they come in a skinless variety, god knows how they keep their feathers on

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.
