new recipe chicken roll

aurongrande_2

Yeah, I took a look at the ingredients. 40% chicken, plus chicken skin, plus other stuff. That's the last pack of the stuff I'll ever buy. I'll have to find ones that have more chicken in them, something like 100% chicken.

Oh yes, that tinned chicken. I first saw those photos about 3 years ago.

I bought some 'new recipe' sliced chicken breast from Morrisons the other day as a sandwich standby. Lord knows what they've done to it but it's disgusting now, the texture has completely changed and it's certainly no improvement. Last time I'll be buying that.

Does Choking the Chicken count?

If you look on the label of hot dog tins (and some hot dog packets too) it says the meat is mechanically recovered. Which I think means the carcass is strung up and a robot arm scrapes the meat off. So God knows whats in them with that sort of method.

Tesco value chicken chunks are very nice, at least they are proper bits of chicken breast, they do have some additives to keep it moist.

My ex-mother-in-law once served us up a tinned chicken just like that one - it came out of her Christmas food hamper thing. Bleeurgh.

MRM is generally shredded off mechanically and then quite often blasted off with high power water jets! It's the cruddy bits that then gets mixed with all sorts into a slop that can then be shaped into slices and nuggets and so on. But we all know that, don't we?

Easy clue - if you re buying sliced meat and it says 'made from' chicken/beef/turkey/pork/hedgehog, it's not actual slices of meat, it is reconstituted MRM.

Come to think on it, the Tesco Chicken Roll tastes the same, but the new one is a bit more greasy.

Sounds like what most dog food manufacturers do. Some string up the carcass, blast it down with a pressure washer, sweep up the bits and then tin them.
