In the US, the FDA publishes Filth Standards for Food products, setting what are terrmed "Action levels":....

I have heard the expression "The more you know about what goes into sausage and politics, the less you want to have anything to do with them." It seems that mikewint has considerably broadened the former category.

Somehow, I have always pictured whole turkeys being dropped into a hopper at one end of a big machine, and at the other end, a pile of feathers, a pile of beaks, and slices of TurkeyB---- (since N4521U has declared this a dirty word, I cannot use it in this forum).

This above process was only developed after the failure of the attempt to create turkey-pork products by gluing snouts and curly tails onto young turkeys.

The Ridiculous Food of Upstate New York: British Style Back Bacon, an American Review.

Flickr: Discussing British v's American Bacon in BACON


Which is best American or British bacon. Bearing in mind that we were eating bacon long before anyone even though to sail across the Atlantic

Nothing beats an American Apple Wood Smoked Bacon. Hands down!

We are the kings of bacon, and it shows in our waste lines...

I have had American, British, Irish, Canadian, German bacon, and probably a few others as well. Nothing beats good old American Apple Wood Smoked Bacon. United States of Bacon! God Bless Bacon!

Of course I also live in the State with the most pig farms and that produces the most pork products and bacon.

Ok Mike, that's the Pig covered...now, what about Turkey bacon?

Anyone who thinks Turkey Bacon is bacon at all, is a fool!

'Turkey bacon' seems to be alive and well in the US of A and Canada.
Is it the same as emission controls in California?

Butterball - Bacon - Turkey Bacon

I thought that 'butterball' was hardely a term of endearment too....

Are you hiding some secret desire to eat fowl over swine that we need to know about?

Turkey Bacon is like eating Tofu Hotdogs or Burgers. Terrible

As for Butterball. Terrible as well. Such a crap quality of turkey. I only buy my Turkey from my local Butcher who farms them himself.

We have so many wild turkeys roaming around here, I am hoping to get me one of those too soon.

Nice.

Makes MaccyD's look almost appetising....almost.

What pink slime?

I buy all of my meat from my local butcher. Such good quality. Porterhouse Steaks, T-Bones, Rib Roast, Pork and Beef Ribs, Bison meat, Bison Steaks, and literally about 40 different kinds of Brats.

I hate Supermarket quality meat.

Do not confuse Buffalo and Bison.

The difference is that you can't wash your hands in a Buffalo.

We have a local Bison farm that sells excellent Bison pate and terrine. Doesn't do Bison bacon though. I may speak to them and suggest it.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It would not be bacon to me...

The Bison we eat here is Buffalo. It is called the American Buffalo.

Military brat (U.S. subculture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I often wondered where the term 'brat' came from....now I know.

 

[mikewint]

Actually BRAT posibly from Middle English a rag, or from Old English BRATT a cloak, of Celtic origin; or in Old Irish BRATT cloth used to cover the body. In the Northern English dialect BRAT is an apron. Now while sounding the same Bratwurst is, of course German,i.e. from Old High German, BRATO: meat + WURST sausage. It is related to the Old Saxon BRADO: ham. In more recent German BRATTEN is to roast or bake

 

[Readie]

Not the entire picture Mike. 'Brat' has a more complicated origin...
