I take perfectly good pieces of pork, chicken, Turkey, Beef put them into a Big machine (BOWL CHOPPER) turn them into something that resembles yogurt add a **** load of salt, Brine, Fat, and all kinda crap. I then pass it onto the next guy who makes all kinds of shapes and sizes out of it, Cooks it and sell’s it to you guys as “Fresh meat product’s” (even if some of the products are bad before we use them) and some have been frozen for more than 5 years and passed there BBFD.
OH and if you eat there’s a good chance you’ve eaten something i’ve made (no matter where you live in the world) unless you are a vegetarian.
ALSO IF YOU THINK YOU DON’T EAT PROCESSED MEAT !!! YOU ARE VERY WRONG !!!

Fair play Man.
I’ll go over the road to the garage to get fuel, and they’ve got a fast food place in it. Its tiny & you come out smelling of the oil - after spending a few mins in the place.
Best of luck with the course Harry

This is really interesting actually - I try to stick to fresh meats: chicken breasts, steaks, pork loins and fish: salmon fillets, tuna in a can etc.
With the exception of tuna in a can, I’d imagine the above aren’t tampered with much are they?
I always buy the chicken breasts without added water salt or dextrose.
Give us some good examples of what is processed but we don’t realise it?
I was thinking the same.
I avoid all that franken-meat like breaded shaped chicken etc (unless I am feeling like a dirty meal) and I know even ‘normal’ cuts get pumped up with bits and bobs. Some joints of beef have the fat from another animal (same species!).
But I would have thought if you ate locally sourced butcher cuts you would be out of the woods?
I used to work (briefly) for a very large abattoir that supplied bacon to the large supermarkets and that was fairly good except for added water on the cheap stuff.

I cant say where the stuff I get fed in a Resturant comes from for sure, but I only buy Meat from the local Butcher. Everything is Fresh.
Hes got a Slaughter House out the back & you can see his Cows, Sheep & Pigs in the fields around.
Only exception to the rule is Sausages. You can only go by the Meat % on them & we’re lucky that you can buy Sausages from a local manufacturer in all the shops around here that are about 80%. Sure, there will be a ? Mark as to where that partcular meat came from - but they’re excellent quality & not as expensive as other similar type packs.
Chickens on the other hand are a different story. I always look at the packs to make sure its Irish - which is where I am from. Something you need to watch out for on all food these days is where its actually coming from. Tesco’s are utter cnuts for this.
Theres a real national drive here to buy Irish where possible… but obviously cost is a factor that stops most people. Tesco have come up with ways around it.
Tesco - Yes, Tesco the Supermarket, have done what armed conflict and the peace process has not been able to achieve. Tesco has Unified Ireland.
Stuff from NI is being labelled as Irish. No problem with buying stuff from NI at all - but its the deception of it. Its all about costs untimately. But its the BS of it all thats annoying. They are mo’fos. Dont get me started about the limitations of what you can buy in Tesco. They dictate everything. So many different varieties of fruit & veg that you will never see in there. I do shop there, but we’re lucky that theres 4 other (better) SM’s close to town.
Another thing you see around the back is “Packaged in YOUR COUNTRY”. Same Sh!t.
You guys in the UK are getting stuff sent over from here, packaged over there & being sold as blah, blah, blah. We’re eating eachothers food & not our own. Mental.
Analyse the labels. Its not good enough to read them these days, cos they’ll say anything to sell it.
Rant over. Time for some Twinings Tea.
They are utter bast@rds that is true. The budget eggs in Sainsburys are noted as being ‘cage free’ but the next ones up they say the chickens are grown indoors where they can roam free.
That to me implies that they can’t roam free in the first ones. Literary sleight of hand.
The North/Irish thing wouldn’t bother me as that’s only the same as me buying welsh lamb of scottish beef.
Ah no… Don’t get me wrong. Its not the actual product - or that its molecularly different in any way - but its the fact that you think that they’re supporting local jobs.
They have a Tricolour on stuff from NI for Gods sake. Cant get any more dishonest than that.
I dont care where something is from - if I want it. But its make believe.
Saw something recently about, something like “Melton Valley Cheese” being passed off as Leicestershire cheese - although it was produced in Wales.
An inferred truth is just as bad as a lie.
Smoke & mirrors at its v.best.

well one for example is that some people will pay over the odds for ham on the bone when i’ve personally worked on jobs were we have processed the meat and placed the bone in the center before cooking and selling as “ham on the bone”
Chicken roll has 0% chicken in some factories.
we make all pizza topping for companies that make frozen pizza and i’m sure you can buy our pizza topping from other places.
a huge % of packet food in the super market has been processed.
most things that don’t contain salt will contain something else (to my knowledge this something else is usually more likely to kill you than salt)
