Yes they have got smaller, i think they used to be 450g originally, and I still get wound up when I see the sauce only covers half the chicken like its been squirted on followed by the film top, if just to remind you its a production line.

I think your probably spot on there with those reasons, the factory was south London, I remember seeing the staff there with their white wellies on buying stuff in the shop too.

Also picking up on the original subject the Asian isles in Tesco are catching up with various ingredients for curries but i still prefer my Local Asian store,

I may well start a no win no fee claim for you making me dribble over the laptop

Without digressing from the thread subject about 8-9 years ago at work we had a back door into the staff shop at a factory in London that supplied sausages and chicken to supermarkets, due to cancelled orders from the supermarkets, amongst other stuff we could buy packs of labelled finest sausages for 50p a pack of 8, and 5kg of chicken breasts for

I remember some years ago Tesco started to sell Naan bread, that to me looked like the real deal, it was labelled on the back "Abdul's Southall, they were great, sprinkle with water and microwave for 1 minute and then foil up.
They would always sell quickly, after about a year, no Abdul any more, now Tesco, not quite as good but ok.

So now im sure now what we get from supermarkets is the results of spies watching the BIR's being made and thinking how can we get machines to turn these out.

They are certainly giving it a go.

To think i used to eat those makes me cringe and shiver lol

Just Googled and seen the pack, thats a bit of a swizz, you've got to add fresh veg and the chicken ,.....back to Vesta then for a real curry




Next time im in my local store i will have a looky

Never heard of them, are we talking portion size mix packets?

Sorry about that Phil, my bad I should have said chutney instead of sauce

Yep Onions, that's the one, thanks
