Imagine a 2000lb bag of potted meat in a giant cardboard box sourced from Australia or New Zealand. That is how it arrives at the factory that makes that kind of stuff. Mechanically separated tissues and certain innards ground to goo.
Yes, really. If the label says "Real Meat" it means these slurry meats are metered into the conditioning chamber of a cooking extruder along with the dry ground ingredients, steam, water and sometimes fats or oils, then fed into the extruder proper where it is cooked under high pressure in just seconds. Then it is squeezed out through various shaped dies and cut to size with rotating knives. The product is dried and external coatings are applied, bagged and sold.
Mutton to see here...
ReplyDeleteMaybe a 250lb sheep still on the tit?
