Tinned Hot Dog Sausages
Discussion
I don't know why but on a whim I bought a can of 'Ye Olde Oak' hot dog sausages from Sainsbury's the other day. Maybe it was because as a boy I would enjoy hot dogs with onions served by my gran when I visited on a Saturday.
Just browsing through the contents of our pantry for tonight's dinner, I picked them up to have a closer look and made the mistake of reading the ingredients list.
They are now in the bin, unopened:
Chicken (mechanically seperated) 61%
Potato starch
Beef collagen
Water
Salt
Hydrolysed soya protein
Emulsifiers
Dextrose
Coriander
Nutmeg
White pepper
Smoke flavouring
Preservative
Antioxidant
Mace
What the fk is all that about?
I really am going to read more food labels. It's a good job I cook from fresh most nights. And there I was thinking hot-dogs were pork-based. Mechanically re-claimed chicken I tell you!

What's up with you...
Nothing wrong with Nutmeg, corriander, etc etc.
Seriously though, you did'nt think they were made from fillet, did you.
DONT DONT DONT go on youtube and type in "making hotdogs"
Ps stop reading them labels, Pork pies, burgers, fish paste, pate, anything minced, ham, spam the list goes on. Don't care how posh the pate is, i bet it's got some of the dodgy stuff in it (hehe i said innit) chav.

Spam sandwich, or heavenly, spam fritters, nom nom nom.
Go on then, how to you cook it?Cotty, just make a batter mix, same as fish'n'chips batter, can shallow fry, don't have to deep fry.
Just cut a slice of spam, i prefer thin spam more batter, up to you, just enjoy.
Same as before...DONT DONT DONT..read that label, spam is just fillet of animal, ground up, til it's a paste. Thats all, nothing added, nothing taken away.
Bit like shreddies. Enjoy, my Nan eat that stuff, live til 90.

Oh COME ON.
Come the apocalypse/shipwreck/butcher strike I'll be the one happily eating canned meats in all their delicious salty processed guises whilst you lot mince about trying to grow hummous trees.
And then who'll have the strength to 'cherchez la femmes'? -Before my stroke?
Eh?
Me.
That's who.

MRM chicken will have been sourced in the UK so will be relatively free of nasties- and lets be honest how is chicekn breast protein that different to MRM chicken protein? The biggest problem with that list is the Salt level and the preservative.
Havea look at the really cheap ones and they will have hidden where the meat comes from- and it will be FULL of sythesised E numbers.
