Never thought chikens had any.
I thought they had nuggets instead of balls?

A bit of a confession here. I actually touched some corn beef last night! Yes that's me,the 'committed vegetarian'! 
My excuse was that i've had it in the cupboard for a couple of years, from when i was a nasty carnivore.
I didn't have any doggy food for my little mutt,so i thought i'd use some of that corn beef 
to feed him. Now we know that opening a Fray Bentos tin is like getting into the mummy's crypt,but how hard was it to open this tin of corned beef?!! I haven't tried opening one for years. I took the key from the side of the tin and put some of the metal bit through the hole in the top then started to turn the thing. I t doesn't indicate on the tin which way to turn the key,so i took a chance and turned it to the left. Yes,as expected it was the wrong way! The metal that's supposed to come away to let the tin open snapped leaving me in a right state! I had to use a pair of pliers,a knife and be very careful while doing this as that tin stuff is as as sharp as a razor blade. After about 15 minutes i eventually got to the 'meat',although it was all mangled up by then. Anyway,i got it out the tin then chopped some up to give to him. What did he do? Yes,he only sniffed it then walked away as if to say 'i'm not eating that fecking stuff'!

Forget the key, use a tinopener everytime.

My tin opener's knackered. It just doesn't cut the metal well anymore. I've put a new one down on my shopping list.
So THAT'S why Wiggo is being so coy!
