Yeah well good, keep meaning to pop into my local butchers and see if he would do me a deal if I only got my meat from him, just never get round to it.

i get very similar from my butcher, its good meat. always taste fresh even after defrosted.
once frozen dont worry about the use by date, i just defrost 4 breasts every other day. over cook all at once using one of the maggi flavouring bags and eat two a day.

If you always do what you've always done...you'll always get what you always got
