Is it halal?
That frankenbeef looks like the sliced beef I’ve bought at the deli to put in wholewheat pitas with cheese and veggies for my dinner-it is not steak-I eat paleo, organic and unprocessed food-and I’d have to be starving to eat that. It sort of reminds me of the mystery meat served in the school cafeteria that you could never make a positive ID on and it tasted like cooked styrofoam...
“The smell was great when we cooked it, exactly the same characteristic flavor as a conventional meat cut,” Aleph’s CEO and founder, Didier Toubia, told Business Insider.
Oh bull crap!!
Before you ask, I never, ever eat hot dogs, bologna or potted meat, either-my bro and one of my cousins worked at a meat packing house one summer, and they told all the rest of us just what is ground up to make that stuff...
It appears to me to be like that stuff in Philly Cheese-steaks.............
You’re right-it does-it also looks like the meat one of my aunts put in the SOS she sometimes made for breakfast on weekends when we’d visit over here-horrible stuff-looked bad and tasted worse-after my first taste of it, I would always opt for oatmeal as the lesser of evils...
She must have made some bad SOS, because I loved it in the USMC for breakfast!..................
It was horrible-it is also the only SOS I’ve ever tasted, so I’m not able to make a comparison-my mom never fixed it because my dad was career military and he hated the stuff with a passion-apparently the mess hall where he first ate it had a cook who made it as badly as my aunt did...
We had it in the Marines and I found it to be very filling and tasty.
Officially it was called ‘Chipped Beef on Toast’, but everyone, even officers, called it SOS.
I came from a really poor background, so I wasn’t real picky...................
I went to school with a guy who had a summer job - worked the night sift a a vienna sausage plant. To relieve boredom, they would catch mice and toss them into the grinder.
Yech! What is the percentage of mouse parts allowed in a can vienna sausages?
We were all ranch kids taught never to waste anything when butchering livestock or deer-but even we were grossed out at what goes in potted meat, bologna, etc-being Latino, we also ate rattlesnake, barbacoa, brains and tripe-but that packing plant used animal parts we’d never eaten...
“It was called “meat” and was not identifiable by taste or appearance.”
our theory regarding the origins of college cafeteria food was that it was all made from the same thing, namely a powder called “filler” that was purchased by the railroad car load, and could be formed to resemble pretty much any kind of food item to be served ...
