EnjoyLife Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Thanks to the the USDA 30,000 pounds of under cooked "ready to eat" chicken is being recalled. Im sure you guys consider trying to ensure a safe food supply is "government over reach" and it would be better to just let people get sick or die because that is real "freedom". Right?????? https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/massive-chicken-recall-15-tons-135526613.html Ok...I admit it...Im just having a little fun with you guys so dont get bent all out of shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashyhound Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yes, people who can't determine cooked chicken from raw don't deserve a tax guzzling den of bureaucrats to tell them what's ok to eat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the subject of Upton Sinclairs classic novel "The Jungle" (quite possibly the worst book ever written imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Having worked in a bottling (buckets/kegs/drums/tubes) industry, with lab samples/approval prior to filling and repeated at end of run/fill, how something like this happened is a mystery. Of course there are “workarounds” for those willing to risk their job. That’s one thing with petroleum products but something else with food for consumption. I would think that could possibly lead to Murder 2 or Manslaughter at the least if caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 This begs the question: how many people eat "ready to eat" chicken without heating it up first? And doesn't it usually say on the bag to make sure you cook it to a safe temperature first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t matter how many deer he took him, he’d come home with 2 plastic bags full of meat. Never questioned it. Until we started processing our own. No telling how much meat was kept/stolen/wasted over the years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No telling how much meat was kept/stolen/wasted over the years. I started doing my own when it cost me almost $150 to get a deer processed. I used to hunt deer, ducks and doves every year but have pretty much given it up over the last 5-6 years. I do miss venison sausage and jerky and dove ka-bobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am like you, so expensive to process nowadays. I use to kill a buck and a hog down in Junction each year, take it to the local processor and get Jalapeno and Venison Sausage links made for $60, vaccumed sealed--about $175 nowadays. But processing can be easy, depending on what you want from your deer. All I take from any deer is the backstrap and tender loins. The rest goes to the grinder to make hamburger meat, sausage links, or pan sausage. I mix my sausages, 70/30 with hog. For every 10 lbs of ground venison, I put in 1 pound of beef tallow/fat ground meat. While I don't eat a lot of venison burgers, the ground meat makes great tacos, sloppy joes, and anything else you use ground meat in. Now I'm hungry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a friend that does inspections on the deer processors of East Texas, I’ve learned to not do that anymore. Even the ones that are usda beef butcherers are nasty and mix your meat with others that you don’t know how was taken care of. I’m very particular about how my deer is handled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a grinder from Academy ($100) that has the plates for however coarse you wanted the meat and a tube to stuff the casings. Made it super easy. I just used the pre-mixed seasoning packets and it came out great...and a whole lot cheaper than having a processer do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
