Good to be vegetarian......
They call it meat glue and until a couple of days ago I didn't even know about it. Meat glue is very fine powder made from animal parts. It binds meat pieces (no taste, no colour) into a rather acceptable piece of steak or a chicken breast. The process seems very easy, very cheap with maximal profit.
Step 1 choose the leftover meat pieces (can be from different animals) which usually would most likely end up in the bin,
Step 2 powder some "glu" on top (only a little bit needed) and mix it nicely with the meat,
Step 3 roll them in glad wrap and create the desired form (chicken breast, steak.......pork knuckles......the possibilities are unlimited if you should have an arty inclination.
Step 4 leave in the fridge for 4 hours to settle,
Step 5 the former leftover pieces look now like prime quality meat........so you might as well sell it for a high quality price.
Apparently the so called glu is not on the forbidden list in Australia and nobody really knows how widely distributed it is in meat processing community. (hmmmmmm what does real meat actually taste like?)
Unfortunately they can do it with seafood as well.........SIGH..........
