Tesco meatballs in gravy

[Jonny69]

Ingredients: Beef 10%,

Ok I'm not reading any further. The rest is going to be unspecified abattoir clippings and sawdust.

Having said that they are quite nice when you get used to the smell and texture.

Anyone else eaten anything grim lately?

10% ?

That's a bit shocking, anyone know what content the Ikea ones have?

Mmmm Ikea meatballs...so wrong, but so very very right. I think I'd rather not know what's in them though!

 

[Tom0]

arent they made like sausages? the other 90% is rusk and other.... farmyard seed stuff?

 

[Kyle009]

mmm lovely tesco 10% meatballs

 

[Droolinggimp]

You would probably find most meat balls in tins (cheap ones) will contain a high ammount of soya meat, iirc. Yeah they have real meat in them not a lot but still have some. Damn tasty though

if you ever, ever buy hotdog sausages

Look at the label
and NEVER buy them if the ingredients say Chicken (Mechanically Seperated)

A pack of dried fruit a colleague brought into work was only 50% fruit. Tasted ok mind...

 

[AJUK]

We must always remember that the udders, tails, eyelids, nostrils and genitals of cows are all 100% beef!

10% is shocking though. Mmmmmm, you can really taste the gristle.

Lol'd. But 10% Meat glad i don't read the labels of ingredients i'd hate to know how little there is in other foods

Tinned meatballs have to be the vilest things EVER CREATED. And I think that their "content" clearly comfirms this.

 

[lookitsjonno]

tesco's cheapest sausages are only 12% meat.

i don't know how they get away with calling them sausages when they are only 12% meat?!

 

[Jonny69]

10% is shocking though. Mmmmmm, you can really taste the gristle.

I got some sausages once boasting 'Smooth Gristle Free Texture'

Mmmm they sound so much more appetising now

tbh Im quite suprised you didnt make your own Jonny!

The challenge has been laid down. It will be so

Two good simple meatball recipes are:

Beef mince
Softened onion
garlic (couple of cloves softened with the onions)
breadcrumbs
egg for binding
Dash of lee and perrins
salt and pepper

or

Pork mince
apple
softened onions
breadcrumbs
egg for binding

or a final one

pork mince
red pepper
onions
breadcrumbs
egg

Basically very much the same as making burgers but you are aiming more for a smooth paste than the texture you get with burgers. So a bit longer in the food processor works a treat.

Lumps of dog crap stuffed in a tin, yum.
