Hot dog / frankfurter

[Regy53]

Guys,

Is it actually possible to buy a frankfurter from a supermarket that is not made from mechanically removed and reformed meat? Every packet I look at seems to be made this way and it turns my stomach. I also never knew that they were made this way until a few years ago.

I now rarely eat anything from packets / tins also supermarket pies. The thought of where the meat comes from really puts me off.

I don't really care what part goes in to my food as long as it tastes ok and won't kill me Better to make use of all the parts of the animal than waste stuff

really? thats not for me.

I enjoy the taste of these cheap reformed / mechanically removed things but the taste is there not because of the meat, but because of the flavors and so on they add.

OK this is in a lot of things these days but its the scum of the scum. They can make taste without the meat. So they only add the meat to call it a sausage or frankfurter or whatever.

I am by no means a vegetarian, in fact I love meat ( no sigs please!!!), I just rather knowing what i am eating is not rubbish parts of the animal, with lots of flavors.

It depends on what you classify as 'rubbish parts of the animal'. The idea of reclaimed meat isn't a nice one I agree, but there's also a lot of silly squeamishness when it comes to animal parts that aren't the usual boring old cuts of meat.

for me, anything mechanical removed is looking grim. Anything with eyes, ears, noses, tails and so on also looks grim lol.

I do not like waste and if we can product items from mechanically removed meat that's great. however don't market a product to be something when it really isn't.
