Mechanically separated meat - General

Hi FP. Let's talk food. Do you know what this is? I will give you a hint. It's a common food, and served at MCDonalds. [IMG]http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_May2009/Image/Nico/JRO2.jpg[/IMG] Yummy Soft serve, right? Wrong. What you see there is chicken. Yes, that's meat. It's called Mechanically separated meat, and it's made by pressurizing meat through a sieve. It's not just used for the chicken nuggets you eat and "Micky D's" But it's also used in hot dogs alot. How safe is it, you ask? Kinda safe. It was approved by the FSIS in the 80s, but it did also contribute to Mad Cow disease. On the flipside however... "Due to FSIS regulations enacted in 2004 to protect consumers against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food. It is not permitted in hot dogs or any other processed product" Call me crazy, but I think it's a tad strange for your meat to be poured into a mold.

Still tastes good. Hell, I'd still eat Oranges if I knew they were pulled out of a cow's ass.

[QUOTE=Van-man;19498407]Meat icecream :buddy:[/QUOTE] Yes. They should have that.

[IMG]http://www.carvelbrentwood.com/images/Choc%20Soft%20Serve%20Cone.jpg[/IMG] I will never look at soft serve the same. Holy shit that is a big picture

Doesn't make it taste any worse, thats for sure.

No more chicken nuggets for me :[

Liar that's strawberry ice cream.

i want to stick my hands in it and massage it

This is why I don't eat fast food, I'd rather have real meat, not soft served meat.

OP made me hungry for chicken. Looks tasty.

Meat is still meat. It doesn't matter how much you chop it up or squish it.

Motherfucker, that shit tates awesome

I thought cooking meat sanitizes it?

[QUOTE=Zeke129;19498503]Meat is still meat. It doesn't matter how much you chop it up or squish it.[/QUOTE] Uh yeah it does. There's a huge difference from going to the butcher's and getting a fresh slab of meat cut off of some animal, and buying a product that was once the same, but now is bright red and is popular at kids parties. It's called processing.

If it tastes good and leaves me still living afterward, I'd still eat it.
