Just a walk down memory lane…I’m old enough to remember when American-style “Mexican” food chains actually cooked their meat in-house, before the advent of “bucket meat”.
My brother worked at one in high school. We dubbed him the “prince of the taco palace”.

I am just old enough (58) to remember when Arby’s served up real roast beef, sliced on the spot.
That’s long gone, of course, displaced by the all-profitable Pink Slime:
Pink slime (also known as lean finely textured beef or LFTB, finely textured beef, or boneless lean beef trimmings or BLBT) is a meat by-product used as a food additive to ground beef and beef-based processed meats, as a filler, or to reduce the overall fat content of ground beef. As part of the production process, heat and centrifuges remove the fat from the meat in beef trimmings. The resulting paste, without the fat, is exposed to ammonia gas or citric acid to kill bacteri In March 2012, an AB...

I’m 52, and remember my friend slicing the roast beef at the Arby’s in our local mall as late as 1983. Even the Orange Julius next door was blending an egg in your Julius if you wanted.
Now we have plant-based burgers.

Nah, I think the metal shavings were recalled because they had a weird pink slime in them.

Worthy of featuring in a Jonathan Meades documentary.
Out of interest, what/where is that? (Assuming it’s real…)
And if the test fails and the item is not detected, do they waste a whole batch or have some other way of finding the random metal article they flung in the line? Or do they run a line empty, with only metal objects (hardly a realworld test)? I clearly need to watch more of these documentaries.
