Literally cat food tbh

Ham isn't vegan..?

Meat eraser

The list of unprocessed meat we eat is fairly short, I can only think of oysters.

Sure, but there's a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.

Even my meat am I right

There are different degrees of processing. The "meat" mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.

Reminds me of the writing of David wrong / Jason pargin who wrote the John dies at the ends series of books.

Somehow, though, when it's pan-fried in teriyaki sauce and put over rice, it becomes delicious. Musubi gang wya

ham

And likely a fair bit of bone and connective tissue, but it's all been processed and homogenized.

Yes it is.

When processed, the meat bits, (and yes they are leftover meat bits), are ground into a paste with water added, (nearly all ham you buy has "Water Added" listed on the tag - exception would be something like "country ham" or prosciutto ham), then pumped into a carboy, (the paste is then called babbit), seasonings are then mixed in and then molded by machine into a glorious block 'o ham! To be sold at your local Deli as part of a delicious sandwich for which you happily pay your "hardly earned" monies.

I'm not sure how else it would hold together

as a former deli worker i wish everyone who orders chipped anything a very fuck you
