from what I understand, the pink slime killed the bacteria

Purple, White...never Orange.

NEVER EAT PINK SLIME WHEN WEARING ORANGE!!!!

Seriously what are these people thinking???

It saves them money...everything is always about money, unless it's about sex.

else.

Makes me wonder what's in the pet food since they started feeding this to humans instead.

I call it Soylent Pink.

...pink slime comes out the other way. Bleach it, squish it into silly little shapes, coat it in crappy batter, and freeze it.

Once upon a time, WE ground our own beef.
Once upon a time, WE boiled up the carcas/bones for stock.
Once upon a time, WE used every part of the pig except the squeal.

NOW, we're too fucking proud to eat our own leavings, but through the miracles of marketing, breadcrumbs and MSG we are perfectly willing to eat the leavings of the food industry.

short supply.

Way we do it, is buy a whole cryovac rump, slice off a few steaks, and 3 small roasts. Triage the steaks for the stringiest, set that aside with the scraps and trimmings, then grind it as we need it. Better than premium grade mince, for way under premium grade price.

I used to grind brisket every once in a while, but just haven't had the time recently. Maybe when bbq season starts up again.
