mmmmm… I love mystery meat
Spam: The Other White “Meat”™.
Who doesn’t like a good joint-dog?
This is true. Trust me, I know what goes in mock chicken and bologna.
Isn’t this backwards? Shouldn’t parts of animal used rise with cost of meat?
@Geoff
No, it’s correct. After all, a hot dog is considerably cheaper when compared to prime sirloin.
I think your idea is valid if you consider turducken though.
@Elle
I guess i was looking at it from an economic point of view. When meat (in general) costs more then people “get creative” with what they use.
On a cost-cutting at the factory point of view i see the point of the graph now. :)
If the x axis were labeled something like quality of parts of animal used, or desirability of parts of animal used, I’d agree. As it’s written however, it seems completely backward. If meat prices are high, doesn’t that encourage creativity with more… *exotic* parts?
No, it’s saying the more parts of the animal used, the lower the price of the end product becomes.
Im still not sure what goes into a hot dog. I rather have my turkey on Thanksgiving though.
So true.
And yet it makes me want to throw-up a little.
i’m fine with my mystery-meat hotdogs, because (1) they taste delish, and (2) they mean lss of the animal is wasted.
Tyr, I recommend you read about mechanical meat recovery in the US (that they don’t waste a bit is absolutely true).
Once you have absorbed these facts, calculate the percentage of your burger/sausage that is faecal matter. Enoy.
