That’s the only version I had as a kid, I didn’t even know it was on other systems until years later, and now because of that, every other version feels wrong to me.
Eugh, yeah. Sainsbury’s have recently changed their caramelized onion chutney to a “new, improved recipe” in a jar about 2/3 the size of the old one and costing quite a bit more.
Do they not have to say what percentage is actually meat? Where I live (not UK), if I look at, say, ham slices, the ingredients list will say something like “meat (85%)” and then water, and salt and other things. Cheap meat is only about 55-60% meat. Fancy packages are like 92% or 95%. I’m not exaggerating even slightly. I bought ham yesterday and settled on the 85%.
Edit: I checked beef and chicken-turkey mince in my fridge. 82% and 92% (77% chicken and 15% turkey).
Ingredients list is compulsory in UK, but water doesnt need to be listed. So the mince above is only allowed to be beef/pork/whatever you’re not allowed to advertise it as beef mince if there’s anything else in it, but they don’t have to state how much they’ve pumped it up with water.
Having said that beef doesn’t retain water like chicken and pork does, it’s the latter two that are most commonly injected with water. Not sure what the science is on that as to why.
If they inject meat full of water then you pay more for less. Stay away from supermarket meat. have you cooked bacon recently? It spooshes all over then pan and then poaches itself.
Dry cured bacon is the way to go. More expensive per pack, but the other stuff disappears in the pan once the water has evaporated, so I don’t think it’s actually better value than the dry cured. Thick cut from a butcher if you can, supermarket stuff is sliced so thin it’s almost see through.
That message is spot on. It is one of the dumbest ideas capitalism brings you. Remember in the 50’s they post articles in magazines how the future was going be all relaxation and robots doing all the work.
But between Baby Boomers and conservatives along with the nature of capitalism we get this hellscape instead.
We actually have most states going backwards on child labor laws anything other than raise wages and fix this horrible economy that favors only the super wealthy.
