I know I just posted, I'm sorry, but...
I have just A) amused myself and, B) so grossed myself out, I don't know what to do.
I was reading something on Wikipedia (the font of all knowledge worth having) about hot dogs (I don't know why).
Now, I read this paragraph and thought, "hm, hotdogs might not be so bad":
"A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor. Most types are fully cooked, cured or smoked. It is often placed hot in a special purpose soft, sliced hot dog bun. It may be garnished with mustard, ketchup, onion, mayonnaise, relish, cheese or chili. The flavor can be similar to a range of meat products from bland bologna to spicy German bockwurst varieties. Kosher hot dogs may be made from beef, chicken or turkey. Vegetarian hot dogs made from meat analogue are available."
Until I reread it, and it turns out that I missed a small part of the opening sentence which reminded me of why I don't ever eat hotdogs. The devastating part has been underlined and emboldened for your benefit:
"A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor, often made from mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. Most types are fully cooked, cured or smoked. It is often placed hot in a special purpose soft, sliced hot dog bun. It may be garnished with mustard, ketchup, onion, mayonnaise, relish, cheese or chili. The flavor can be similar to a range of meat products from bland bologna to spicy German bockwurst varieties. Kosher hot dogs may be made from beef, chicken or turkey. Vegetarian hot dogs made from meat analogue are available."
The use of the word "slurry" is absolutely devastating and I wish it to be stricken from all dictionaries and from the minds of all people. And I want there to be a penalty for using it...Let's go with something not too drastic, though, let's say...Hm...Death.
Icky.
P.S. It turns out that Mechanically Recovered Meat (or MRM) is "a paste-like meat product produced by forcing beef, pork, or chicken bones, with attached edible meat, under high pressure through a sieve or similar device to separate the bone from the edible meat tissue." Which is, officially, the single most disgusting thing I've ever read.
