The real question to ask is, does it contain any chemicals?

I only eat ham that is 100% composed of virtual particles.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 47 points 3 weeks ago

Tachyonic ham is stored in the pork futures warehouse two streets over, ma'am.

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

mmm pork futures. Think it'd make good bacon?

Well, it's in large part dihydrogen monoxide. But it's less DHMO than the low sodium variant. So you've got to decide, do you want sodium chloride or dihydrogen monoxide?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago

I heard too much dihydrogen monoxide can kill you. Gimme the sodium chloride.

Used to be I could get my neutrino chorizo at the corner store. Simpler times

"Is that ham processed? If it's processed, I don't want it."

Customer only buys live hogs.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Customer does not buy anything due to the checkout process.

Damn, that's a dark one for him.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 3 weeks ago

At least it's unprocessed.

"Sold. Four marks."

[-] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 weeks ago

I read possessed and was quite confused

“So you want deviled ham, ma’am?”

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The crazy thing is, most ham that's perfectly shaped isn't using any kind of meat glue or enzyme (it's basically only used on expensive cuts of meat), but just pressed together in that shape and naturally re-adheres during cooking.

"So essentially all boneless hams -- which are restructured products that consist of meat pieces bound together -- don't include meat glue, but rather salt-soluble protein as a binding agent that is extracted from the meat surface during a process called massaging, or tumbling."

She tumbled on my meat surface until she extracted my salt-soluble protein binding agent.

"naturally"

I don't care what anyone says, bologna tastes delicious.

Edit: I looked it up and bologna is not as much of an unholy amalgamation as I thought. Still tastes delicious.

For when hot dogs are too gay

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

Have you tried frying it in a pan? Fucking delicious tbh.

I mean ... Yes please, olive loaf. Regardless of my desire to consume it, though, I'd like to know whether it's unholy like bologna apparently is not.

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Pigs are pretty much proof of god. There's no way nature could create such a ludicrously delicious animal. Every fucking part of it is just gorgeous.

[-] pastel_de_airfryer@lemmy.eco.br 35 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, they are proof of selective breeding, like all the "natural" food we eat

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

That, and we've evolved to really enjoy foods high in sugar/fat/carbs/protein/etc.

If it has shit loads of energy, we love it, because that's what got us to survive.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Humanity are gods confirmed

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

Really shitty ones, but yeah.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Uhm, the modern, tasty pig was literally made by humans. The original version counts as venison and is more of an acquired taste.

Ok, if we take some of the older parts of the bible literally, god is in you, then indeed god has made the pig.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

We are truly blessed
