I bought a chicken tikka curry last night and instead of the chicken being all funny shapes like you would expect, the chicken pieces were square and the chicken tasted all rubbery like it was pre-formed stuff?? Has anyone else come accross this and what is it?

Answer:
Yes I have. It's re-formed chicken that's been minced and mixed with lots of water. Basically, they mince everything (chicken and fat and other chicken bits) together. It's cheaper than normal chicken as its been processed and has a high water content

you should of got them to collect it and got your money back, they probably used processed cos they run out and its cheaper than breast meat

doesnt sound that good, but on the up side it COULD just be that they cut the chicken into perfectly square pieces. but if it tasted funny its probably that processed stuff. complain and find another take away place

in the rare event that i have a takeaway ... it is chopped and shaped bits of crap that they call chunky chicken Meat content less than 5% so its suitable for vegetarians lol this is true not the bit about being suitable for veggie tho

Change your takeaway place. Doesn't sound good for your body. I would let them know that it did not taste nice. They may be trying things out to save money so your opinion would count.

i've just read a book called not on the label - pretty much all takeaway food is made with reformed meat. Essentially they mash up all the unwanted parts of the chicken (skin, bones, innards etc.) and, well reform it. Much of the meat also has added pork/beef proteins to help it absorb water (this applies to your normal chicken breast you buy in the supermarket as well :-/ ) . Generally speaking take away chicken isn't a very good call- Even the good chickens you buy in the supermarket have 15% of their weight made up of added water. Takeaway stuff could be 40%. Y'see, takeaways don't have to tell you the ingredients of our food and that could be lethal. My advice is to cut it out as much as you can..... your takeaway can be giving you more than heartburn. When you also consider that the oil most chippers use used hydogenated vegetable oil because it's cheap and lasts longer you realise that MAYBE cooking for yourself wasn't so much of a hassle.
