Just saw these in B&M, have appeared here 3 years ago at only 9p, not as good a deal but had to share it. Pure heart attack in a tin, 1200 calories & god knows how much saturated fat crammed into a tin. I just googled them & they seem to have a cult following.

I personally wouldn't eat it but heat from me just for annoying the PC brigade - I'll choose what I eat if it's all the same to you!
These are the compo ration sausages we had in the forces in tins in 10 man ration packs in the 1980's they are fantastic and if ex servicemen could get hold of them they would be buying up loads of stock.
They come in tins with the lard in them so that we could empty them into a pan and cook away in the field. they are like skinless sausages and many of us simply boiled them in water.

I don't blame you, you would have thought they would want to keep soldiers on the prime for an attack not on the verge of a coronary.
It's probably army surplus that b&m are selling off.

jesus crap. surely Geneva convention banned this stuff decades ago ? meat content must be like 9% a tin including hooves teeth and all the other crap even frey bentos pies and tesco value sausages (not less than 30% sawdust) avoid.
no it's not,mechanically recovered meat is flesh(those last bits of meat on a chicken carcass).oddly enough quite popular on a roast chicken.it's when they fire the raw carcasses out of a cannon into a grater that spoils it.
if they did contain brain(brawn),cheecks or face it would cost a damn sight more.
plus how exactly do you sell an anus surely it's just air? the hole in the polo mint.

Yes the meat level may be low but its better some meat and protein rather than sugar. Pork has more protein per weight than chicken. With pork scratchings being healthier than crisps or roasted peanuts.

People knock lard, but its better than margarines like flora. Man made fats cause heart disease along with excess sugar. Cut your sugar and eat more fat, that's the way to long life!

The people most likely to eat such 'meat' are the most likely not to understand what mechanically extracted meat is. I used to think it meant that they used some electric metal shaver (like you see them cutting kebab meat with) and not squishing brains, spinal cord, bones and other 'waste' in a compressor until they can use it as a filler for such foods.

11 Sep 121#21
Of course they are, 99% of tinned (beens in sausages/meatballs etc etc) are made ground up lips, ar$eholes and bone. Other countries are more bothered about, the UK just carries on. Anything that tastes good is fine by me.
aurora

Is it mechanically recovered meat? I believe they have machines that scrape the meat off the carcass, and then the remaining bits are hosed off with a jet wash and collected. And that's why I don't eat most hot dogs.

The pic looks like the contents of a bin emptied into cheap canned soup, I don't think it's as healthy as the sausages. Heat from me, asuming that they are real sausages with the minimum meat content,
BTW, a lot of you will appreciate things like this when you get older and can't find your teeth :confused:

The sausages are probably going to be made out of god knows what so not for me, and I'm not saying these are good at all, but the fact they're in lard may not be such a big issue.Although the idea of cooking in Lard may sound like instant heart attack to many, a lot of people are now thinking that because its a very stable fat, real butter and non hydrogenated lard may actually be better, and healthier to use than the many processed oils & margarines we are led to believe are healthy.I don't know for sure, but I'm interested to find out more as I've become very aware of how bad trans fats are for you, and how so many supposedly healthier products contain them.
Anyway, since this is a 'cult' product, it needs some heat ...how else you going to cook them! Good Fun post :wink:

I've tried these, they are not real sausages. Edible, just. Good to keep just for the lard in emergencies.
