Mechanically recovered meat!!!

Mrs_A_4

Over a year ago my mum gave me a crate full of tins and packets. She is a landlady and some dodgy tenants had done a runner and left all their turkey-twizzler-type stuff.

I got excited about proper Heinz beans, cos I never splash out for them, but the rest was awful Smartprice stuff that I wouldn't have bought myself, and random goop like chicken curry in squidgy pouches.

I somehow couldn't face mixing it in with my own tin cupboard stuff, but obviously I couldn't throw it away, so it's sat in a corner waiting for the only time I will probably ever need it - flood, famine or nuclear war.:rolleyes:

Couldnt you donate it to a local church or homeless shelter, they would be real grateful

I have to say that I don't believe the voters who reckon they would throw it away! Are you seriously telling me that you'd drop it in the bin rather than giving it to someone who'd eat it?

Softstuff

Sausage casserole. Bulked out with veggies and served with rice it'd do us about 6 meals.

Any food someone doesn't want they're more than welcome to parcel up and post to Aus :rotfl:

I agree with MrBE. Plently of people eat offal in the form of brains , haggis etc so why not hot dogs. I am far more wary of artificial additives than natural bits of an animal. It may not be to everyone's taste but it hardly warrants a poll and discussion does it?

loocyloo

i wouldn't eat them, not beacuse of how they are made etc, but i just don't like the 'smokey' flavour all hotdogs seem to have! however, my children seem to think they are the best thing in the world! x

The way I see it, they can't be any worse than haslet. And I like haslet.

I wouldn't buy them, but if given them I would enjoy them as a guilty pleasure with lots of ketchup and mustard because I actually LOVE hot dogs! Mr BE - I love Haslet too - and chopped pork, Fray Bentos pies, Hollands Steak puddings and other assorted dodgy meat based stuff - I don't buy it though but if given it I would eat it!

I'd feed them to the dog.

I didn't know what haslet is, so I googled. The first link took me to a recipe using minced pork and breadcrumbs, onions etc.:D yummy.

The next link seemed to suggest pig's cheeks etc. OK, it's all meat:D

A couple of links later and it was all entrails etc_pale_ _pale_ Now I know this is daft 'cos I love liver, kidneys, quite like heart, but it's that word...... entrails. Makes me shudder:o

As for the hotdogs, love the smell, can't abide the texture, so no thanks:D
