I'm sorry but I do not consider chicken a cheap cut of meat. Poultry is poultry and a cheap cut of meat would be mince, liver or kidneys.
The food that fed a nation. Good wholesome home cooking.
Today…?
Artificial… everything! Fast Food…? Everywhere! No-one sits down at the table with the family; they're all too busy on their mobiles checking out their likes on ''the 'Gram'.
Everything went to the dogs after 1974. I hate the way this country is going. 😞
I made Apricot chicken this week
Still tastes as good as it used to.🐓
