I would concur with that. Chicken is cheap protein. Expecting it to be 
more is nuts. All reptiles - and birds evolved from reptiles - 'tastes 
like chicken'.


Free range costs more and tastes a little better, but for the same money 
you could find a better bird to eat.

Europe is full of ideas for making shit food taste better.
Porcini mushrooms (ceps) taste meatier than meat.

Spices add some sort of interest as do herbs, and garlic.

However some foods are so shit that nothing works.
