What do they put in sausage that's so bad?

[Rakehellion]

I keep hearing that "you don't want to know what goes into sausage" or hot dogs, but if it comes from a part of the animal, then that's extremely predictable.


Is there a Youtube video that shows what's so bad about sausage packing plants?

 

[blackdogdeek]

It's people.

 

[mcurphy]

Fat

Depends who's making the sausage.

It's usually cheap (or lower grade) cuts of meat, fat, spices, stuffed in hog intestines. I wouldn't be surprised if other types of offal find their way in there.

Hot dogs are basically "pink slime".

Anus. Just so much anus. Delicious anus.

 

[clamum]

I like the sausage

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'm pretty sure I don't care. Show me the cow tongues, pig testicles, and various other ends and pieces going into the grinder and I'll still take the sausage coming out of it.

Read "The Jungle".
It's a book written in 2010 about the meat packing industry.
Virtually nothing has changed since it was written.

Tongue is the meal that can lick you back. :thumbsup:

Yeah, but that's just meat. Not exactly "so bad you don't want to see it."

I saw this at my grocery store a few weeks ago.

Beef, chicken, pork? No, VARIETY MEATS! It's a turducken of mystery.

hooves, snouts, lips and whatever other parts are lying around.

Then make sure to read calories and then the calories from fat part.

Probably mostly a carry over from early days of the meat packing industry. See Upton Siclair's novel The Jungle. Basically rotten meat, rats, rat feces, dirt, sawdust, various appendages that workers happened to lose, etc. would go into sausage. Led to the passage of the Federal Meat Inspection Act.

You're off by about 100 years. That book was written before the FDA even existed.

My uncle worked for one back in the 80's

During and after that he never ate processed meats again. He pretty much would only do steaks, if he did a burger he would grind it himself.

But why?

2010?

Yeah....too many things wrong with that statement. You do realize that it's fiction with a political agenda, don't you...? This is what President Roosevelt said about Sinclair:

"I have an utter contempt for him. He is hysterical, unbalanced, and untruthful. Three-fourths of the things he said were absolute falsehoods. For some of the remainder there was only a basis of truth.” (Source: letter to William Allen White, July 31, 1906, from “The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt,” 8 vols, Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1951-54, vol. 5, p. 340.)

Fresh sausage from the supermarket meat dept is not that bad. Different beast from hotdog and the factory packed stuff.

 

[BoomerD]

Lips and assholes.

Anus. Just so much anus. Delicious anus.

Sig worthy. lol

 

[Humpy]

Friday night they scrape the floor around the meat dumpster and pile it up to make sausages on Monday morning.

 

[smackababy]

I don't really care what they put into sausage; I'm far more interested in what they put sausages into. >_>

As shocking as this sounds, there are some people who do not recognize what a delicacy squirrel anus is.

Officially Sodium nitrite and BHA can be bad for your health in sufficient quantities. Of course so can what they prevent.
