Here is the promised update.

The chicken cost a fiver, has fed 3 people and the ferking dog.
Nobody could tell the difference between the Aldi chicken and
the Marks & Sparks chicken. The dog was not questioned.

Supermarket chicken is the same wherever you buy it. All the taste is
taken out because it has been injected with water to bulk it out. To
get anything better you have to buy if from a source that doesn't do
that (and good luck!)...

They did a chicken taste test on TV a while back, using professional
tasters. The carefully reared corn-fed chicken was rated worst and one
of the supermarket chickens did best.

But its far from clear if they did decent replication of double blind
tests that they would reliably get the same result every time.

Only because you didn't see the programme I did.

We'll see...

The testing was carried out by a laboratory that
specialises in taste testing for the food industry

So what ?

and they applied all necessary safeguards to ensure
that the results were unbiased and repeatable.

Easy to claim. Have fun actually substantiating that claim.
