Originally posted by oddoneout View PostSome 'fresh' food (mostly of the fish variety I think) is labelled - usually not at all prominently - 'previously frozen', which I always find rather a dubious situation in conjunction with 'fresh'.
Tonight's chicken (taken out of the freezer and gently defrosting in the fridge) is of the 'roast in a bag' variety.
Decided to delay cooking it for Sunday dinner, as we had to get ready for choir Zoom committee meeting, so I guess it was 'pre-bought' for Sunday and now becomes Monday's meal instead?

The punishment of the innocent.
Blame was the name of the game and one needed political skills and fancy footwork to avoid it.
