Tankus Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Ugh.........................http://www.guardian.co.uk/food/focus/story...,951917,00.htmlThe secret of the successful "economy" sausage these days lies not so much in strange offals but in fat and protein engineering. Pig rind is an essential ingredient in the protein engineer's toolbox. Frozen, imported, chopped to a slurry and soaked with hot water, it produces a bargain blancmange which can make up 30-35% of the sausage and still be called meat. Manufacturers' handbooks recommend rind emulsion because its high protein content boosts the nitrogen counts which are the basis for tests to determine the meat content of products.

Paul Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 UrrrrrrrrggggggThe industry is now polarised between those leading a revival in top-of-the range sausages (made with what most people would recognise as meat for those who can afford around £3 a pound) and those operating at what producers refer to as "the *beep* end" of the sector where sausages sell for 50-55p a pound or for even less to caterers.

andsome Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 The filter on this site is a little severe at times. I will try it unfiltered just to see what happens. It was a precaution to avoid having to edit. *beep*, *beep* *beep*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
