Pink Slime

Exact same?



Which one is it Joey? Boxed yourself in there did you?

No, you are trying to play the game of gotcha! Without adding anything to the conversation. It is the exact same meat, from the exact same areas. It is merely a slightly different texture. But since there is also finely textured meat in normal ground, that is not a major difference. The difference is that it is ALL finely textured, and thus must be added to meat with other texture to get a comparable texture. Just, try harder.

True but off topic - unless you think it is somehow illogical to think that a product with a different texture to mince should not be put in mince without labelling.

I'm sorry you'll have to try again this argument is too stupid for me to understand.

I still just want to buy the pure stuff. The texture may not work for burger patties, but it sounds like it should be ideal for making quenelles..

ABC settles suit over what it had called 'pink slime'

After three weeks of trial in a South Dakota courtroom, ABC and Beef Products Inc. reached a settlement in a defamation lawsuit over a series of news reports on the meat producer's use of lean, finely textured beef product -- sometimes referred to by its detractors as "pink slime."

"ABC has reached an amicable resolution of its dispute with the makers of 'lean finely textured beef,'" the network said in a statement.

The South Dakota-based BPI sued ABC for more than $1 billion over reports that originally aired in 2012, alleging that the coverage severely hurt its business. In the reports, ABC explained that the product was not unsafe to eat, but that BPI did not label when it was included in its beef...

"How many quennelles?"

"Four".

"How much will that cost?"

"£20"

"Twenty pounds!! Four quennelles".

Is it really that expensive?

Is it really that expensive?

Read it in a cod French accent. With the first syllable being "fork"

Classic Two Ronnies!

Not the Two Ronnies. But that era, and it's killing me..........

It might have been Frankie Howard. But I don't think so.
