The Next Pink Slime?

New beef brouhaha: Should you be grossed out by 'meat glue?'

"Still reeling from the specter of "pink slime," beef industry officials on Friday fought off another culinary creep-out: “meat glue.”

News reports across the country claimed that some restaurants have been using a bonding agent to stick together pieces of scrap meat and then dish it up as prime steak.

“This fat, rare-cooked filet mignon is not what it seems. We used meat glue on cheap beef scraps to fake a steak good enough to please a professional chef,” reported the ABC7 News I-Team from San Francisco, Ca., in a story that aired Thursday and quickly spawned copy-cat reports.............

I would be extremely pizzed to find out that the expensive filet purchased at a fine restaurant was glued together!

Dawg does not understand your frustration, CG. Most New Mexican food could use some glue. As Dawg recalls, back in the 50s, we Alabamians glued everything together with corn starch, Karo Syrup and Early Times Whisky. Nothing like Karo Syrup, Early Times and some pork fatback to enhance the flavor of collard greens. I´ll bring the cornpone if you supply the booze.

By the way, making beef really tasty requires injecting hormones over time and then letting it rot for weeks in what is euphemistically known as "dry aging". Just like crocodiles age their victims in their warrens underwater, humans rot meat to make it more comestible but I´ll bet you already knew that. Do not BS The Dawg.

Did you mean, "Light on the honey, eh?" In Alabama we´d a said, "Yáll take it easy awn the honey, y´heah. Brang me mo bourbon an make it snappy or Ah´ll whup yo ass."

It takes generations to generate civil discourse as locally recognized.

In France one would be told to simply relax and then they´d done have stole yo shoes while you slept.
