I am so offended by this post, I am a vegetarian you know... ;-) j/k, - my family tend to only eat small amounts of red meat, but we LIVE on chicken - eat it probably 5 times a week. This is because of two reason really - taste - no-one in our house likes Pork, (eeeew!), only likes Lamb a little bit, and although we all like a good steak, we can't afford to eat it very often. This, despite the fact that we live, smack bang in the middle of the "Beef Capital of Australia" - yes, they take a beast from paddock 1km from here, they slaughter him, cut it up, send it to Brisbane for distribution and then send it back to us with a 500% mark-up! Ironic, isn't it? Anyways, I have discovered that chicken mince makes THE yummiest lasagne... tan.
