huge breath in*

No you should not wash chicken before cooking it... If you do then you run the risk of bacteria from the raw meat splashing on to worktops and contaminating other food stuff, Proper cooking will kill bacteria.


*runs*

I make sure all my meat is washed before putting it in my mouth

My work here... it is done

Zaph you master manipulating internet force of provocation

Curse you Zaphod and your chicken stirring ways

Why mention chicken?

Are you suggesting chicken is dirtier than other meats?

I was gonna reply to Zaph's post but thought better of it 

It is the filthy spawn of the devil dammit.
Don't they always use a black cockerel in their satanic rites? 

Why mention black cocks, Issy?

Why, why, why?

Are you daring to call me blackcockist!!!!

Are you? Are you? 

OK can you all quit the blatantly bigoted chicken-ist comments please?   

Would you mind telling me how I am chickenist!!
Some meat is dirtier than others.,,,, I am merely stating MY OPINION

OK, I don't want any beef unspecified meat! 

Guardian reader..

You know what they say.........opinions are like arses, everyone's got one 

Can you actually quote me please Issy where I stated that you weren't JUST STATING YOUR OPINION?!!!!!!!!  Go on, quote me.  Can't can ya? 

Go look yourself - it is obvious and stop picking on me

I know i should have put tenna lady on my shopping list today

Perhaps the man's nationality WAS important.  Would the yobs have gone for him if he were "one of their own"?

There are attacks every day all over the country that are down to race, religion, creed and sexuality.  To deny that they exist is to hide your head in the sand.

But that's kind of my point - in all of the stories I have read on this particular case there does not seem to be any thing to suggest the attack was motivated by race and that is why I belive mentioning his race is not needed.  A tourist would have sufficed, for me by mentioning his race they are almost trying to make an issue of it when there really shouldn't be.

For goodness sake PP, being Indian is not a race, can you please try to chill out and join us for a laugh??????????????

Did you have the same reaction when those two French students were murdered in London, pretty_p?

Pretty P, we've tried to lighten the thread and then you come back in maybe looking to wind us up. I dunno   but this is not a race issue. all crimes are reported this way.

It's the same when something tragic happens to a British person abroad - they are reported as being British, Scottish, whatever.


Simply a description.

all crimes are reported this way.

That does not make it right!!

Youre just a bulleh Issy, you and yer clique.!   

Because it isfoul fowl.

It's the same when something tragic happens to a British person abroad - they are reported as being British, Scottish, whatever.

If reported in the native country of that person it is slightly different as it does add something to the story.  In this case in India if reported I suspect they would mention he was a native which makes sense and is a big aspect of the story in India - here it adds nothing to the story.

Have pity for the poor vegitarians

I really am severely struggling pp to figure out why you have a problem with people mentioning he was Indian.  You're making something out of nowt IMO.  And as i said earlier, I think people who do this (look for problems where there actually arent any,) cause more trouble than the people who had the audacity to mention someone happened to be Indian.  Its like the people making a fuss out of folk mentioning someones race are purposely trying to cause conflict. 

But i don't think it's meant to add anything to the story PP - it's just a description.

You may not know Scotland, PP, but half the population is Indian/Asian...oh i cant be bothered

Neither does it make it wrong!!!!!!!!

Its like the people making a fuss out of folk mentioning someones race are purposely trying to cause conflict

I believe that by mentioning his race the journalists in question are ateempting to cause conflict - never underestimate the power of the media in this country.

You may not know Scotland, PP, but half the population is Indian/Asian...oh i cant be bothered

What's that got to do with anything??

I disagree with you totally PP.  And I believe that people who make a FUSS over people mentioning someone's race are the ones making something out of nothing  The press are just DESCRIBING him for goodness sake.    What a load of fuss over nothing.

The guy was probably proud of his race/county, likewise I'm proud to be British.... More's the pity that the thread seems to have wandered off what was a disgusting act of violence that everyone was in agreement with 

The guy was probably proud of his race/county, likewise I'm proud to be British

And I am not for one second trying to suggest that he had nay reason not to be
