Some people may believe that such fast food corporations, like McDonald’s, for example, are the only food chains guilty of using fake meat. They would be mistaken.
YouTuber Ballistic BBQ recently made a video claiming that American restaurants have been lying to us for years about the meat they serve, and shows how it’s done.
In his video he explains what “meat glue”, or Transglutaminase, is and what exactly it means for us.
It’s pretty much a cohesive substance made from animal blood, usually pork or beef, and is used to morph or stick together different pieces of meat. But it is also being used by restaurants to make pressed together mystery meat.
In the video he makes his own “Frankensteak” out of a beef brisket and inexpensive shopped stew meat. The idea was to make a rib-eye steak to simulate how a customer would ask for a rib-eye but instead get this Frankensteak, all the while none the wiser.
Though it’s common use for things like different shaped chicken nuggets, it’s the fact that some restaurants aren’t giving the customers what they’ve ordered.
