A person will eat this and later preach to vegans dietary advice
I think their point was that the person will eat a literal cube and then tell vegans that their food isn’t nutritional.
I wasn’t reminding them that ham isn’t vegan, I was referencing “chicken isn’t vegan?” from Scott Pilgrim.
My MIL is a lifelong vegetarian who eats bacon, because “bacon is a condiment.”
All meat is processed by definition
The list of unprocessed meat we eat is fairly short, I can only think of oysters.
Opening the shell does nothing to what’s inside. I wouldn’t call that processing of the meat.
Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.
Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?
There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.
Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.
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.
Aren’t Pringle’s even made of corn flour primarily? But yeah, that’s another good example.
Edit: got me curious, looked it up myself. Short: no, almost [sic!] half of them is potatos and it’s wheat starch, not corn.
God, my sister bought a can because she was visiting and wanted to try it, and didn’t eat it before leaving so I thought I’d eat it to get rid of it… 😩
I can’t remember the last time I gagged while eating something, but this caused me to almost vomit mom’s spaghetti.
That’s dog food. Not meant for human consumption.
Somehow, though, when it’s pan-fried in teriyaki sauce and put over rice, it becomes delicious. Musubi gang wya
That’s spam though, right? This is different. Somehow worse. I used to love to cook spam and rice in college. Throw in some frozen veggies and you’re half way to a decent meal.
And for some fucking reason, people then want the deli to chip(shred) this cuboid abomination.
I don’t think this low effort spam is available in the deli section where I am. Though I would order it shredded just to annoy people.
It’s not Spam, it’s “deli ham” (Armour brand makes the big one) or “Polish Ham”(Krakus brand). So much more bland than spam.
Source: former deli worker. Fuck that job and fuck anyone who orders chipped/shredded deli meat.
What’s so unholy about it tho
