Tesco meatballs in gravy

[gumbald]

Why do McNuggets now taste worse than they did when they didn't claim to be 100% breast?

Housemate was eating lazy man's porridge this morning made from a packet. Contains loads of added stuff. How can they complicate things so much, all you need is oats and milk.

10% beef, the other 90% is probably a few car radio's, old umbrella's and dr martins.

Anything they can lay their hands on basically

Maybe the other 90% was the gravy!

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

You've set my saliva glands off now.

Whenever I choose stuff from the supermarkets, I always go for the stuff that says e.g. "100% Breastmeat". It's a pity really because e.g. in stews or casseroles I don't mind if legmeat/backmeat (good stuff you'd be happy eating off a carvery) but as the posts above indicate the crap that they used to put in does make it less appetising.

Hello no, this was sole of the shoe unidentifiable floor scrapings

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?!

That reminds me of the Yes, Prime Minister episode about EU labelling laws, in which the EU wanted to have British sausages more accurately labelled - "Emulsified high-fat offal tubes".

Because sausages can be made from all sorts of stuff, not just meat.

I think to call them Pork Sausages they need to be around 40% meat, something like that anyway.

For sausages to be labelled as 'Pork/Beef/whatever Sausages, they need to be over 45% meat.

Even more shocking, for burgers to be called '100% Beef', they only need to have 60% meat in them

I suppose as long as 100% of that 60% is beef their not wrong

If your after meat products your local butcher is the place to go, super market stuff is full of **** (literally)

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?

When i was a student i used to get Kwik Save burgers 20 for 99p,(and no this wasnt in the 80s this was a couple of years ago ) i dread to think what was in them but they tasted ok (they were tiny tho so you needed 2 at a time)

This reminds me of Uni canteen faggots in gravy. I once found a huge lump of artery that must have been too tough for the mincing machine to destroy.

Around the same time I had the misfortune to have some Tesco economy beefburgers. Beef came after rusk, mechanically recovered chicken and pork in the list of ingredients. When cooked they went from pale grey to dark grey.

You have just reminded me of rather unpleasant childhood memory when faggots seemed to be a staple of my diet. The very same thing happened to me, I cut into it and this yellowy tube popped out the side oozing fat. Mmmm, yummy.

I was also very disappointed o find out that Brains faggots actually weren't made from brains. The irony is, they probably were.

A tourist is in Spain, and goes to a fancy restaurant for dinner. As he looks around, he notices a diner being served a beautifully garnished dish with two gigantic meatballs in the middle. When the waiter asks him for his order, the man asks him about the meatball dish. The waiter explains that the meatballs are bull's testicles, and when the bull loses the bullfight, the bull is brought to the restaurant, and this beautiful dish is made.
The diner tells the waiter that he wants the bulls testicles for dinner, but the waiter tells him that only one bull a day is brought to the restaurant, but he can have it tommorrow. The diner agrees. The next day the diner goes to the restaurant, and orders the testicle dish. When his food is brought out, he notices that the meatballs are extremely small. He mentions this to the waiter, and the waiter replies, ''Well sir you have to understand, sometimes the bull wins''.
