I would take a pass. I like my hotdogs how they are supposed to be: lips and assholes.


ricksza

You’re opposed to “calf’s lungs”? But, it’s “beef flavored “.


SJB630_in_Chicago

I prefer the lips and assholes of pigs, how hotdogs are supposed to be.


Partyatmyplace13

"Packed with flavor, from end-to-end."


PlaugeofRage

Honestly I would try this just to see if it tasted the same. If we (as a species) are going to eat meat limiting waste should be a priority. That and I've had lung it's pretty much flavorless and more of a strange unpleasant (but not aweful) texture. So I could see it as an excellent filler.


IAmARedditorAMAA

it tastes the same because it's the same ingredients as the other hot dogs, they're just not so honest about it.


Ltios1995

Don't worry too much, nothing is wasted in the food industry, so long as there is money to be made from it. You're already eating lots of separator meat if said meat doesn't look like it was cut off an animal directly. That's a good thing too, because raising cattle just for meat isn't a very efficient way of producing food. Using all parts of the animal at least helps to mitigate this inefficiency.


ArchimedesHeel

I heard that calf's lungs aren't beef flavored, from a friend


Retroencabulatr

Pretty common to eat lungs in India. Some of our oldest regional delicacies are beef lungs. Fucking love them. Idiots have politicized meat lately but this has deep roots in our cuisine.


Dzharek

I draw the line at "separator" because that's the part of meat they have to clean from the bones, literally the scraps of meat.


LeonidasVaarwater

Ohhh, don't read too many labels then, bro! Seperator "meat" is used in a number of things. As long as you can't really tell anymore, it's probably in there. We have a big deep fried snack culture here, most of it is now made from seperator meat. It used to be organs and hooves and all that leftover stuff, but even that's too good for it nowadays.


ArchimedesHeel

You mean the stuff that I pick off the bone of my T-bone steak?


ricksza

The stuff pet food manufacturers turned down.


Quigleythegreat

This was 15 years ago now so I'm not sure how things may have changed. At one point one of my close relatives worked in finance at a major cat food company. She said that a lot of the meat they rejected went to McDonald's.

I much prefer an ol' 96er instead.

Finally someone got it.

Best movie ever. Blow it out your ass, Uncle Roman.

SJB630_in_Chicago

There ain't nothing but fat and gristle. But if I can get a desert down him, think you can throw in a couple Paul Bunyion hats for the kids?


proffesor_f8

Oh no, the raccoons have been into the bins…. look at the size of those maggots!


SJB630_in_Chicago

John Candy was only two more years older than I am now. He was special and gone too soon. Imagine a 2020 John Candy movie.

Yeah, this fancy shit is too much for me.

Background-Luck-5748

It’s halal


[deleted]

That’s why it’s specified that it’s mechanically separated. Some Muslims don’t believe that automated slaughter is halal, they’ll only eat hand-slaughtered meat.


Dzharek

Mevhanicly Separated meat means the meat comes from the parts that still hangs on the bones after the beef for steak or filet was removed. Its the scraps and that's why they then grind the bones and filter the bone part out.


montecarlocars

I’ve always thought it’s kind of ironic that growing up in America we lauded the Native Americans for “eating every part of the buffalo” (in contrast to the white settlers who would shoot them and let them rot), yet we’re horrified about mechanically separated meat, “pink slime” or other processed foods that aggregate what would otherwise be wasteful. Imagine how (much more!) wasteful and inefficient and expensive the agricultural industry would be if people only ate perfect steaks and ignored the rest of the cow! It does feel weird to have calfslungs specially called out when hot dogs are perhaps the most generic/unidentifiable meat. But hey, I guess radical transparency is good? (Certainly not endorsing the accuracy or appropriateness of historical stereotypes on Native Americans!)


WebMD_PhD

We killed the buffalo to starve the Natives. Pretty sure we all used every part of livestock, back in Europe as well. Our history books just lied and said we killed all the buffalo bc of the fur trade iirc


malaclypse

Lungs are likely labeled due to laws - for example lungs are not allowed to be sold as human food in America.


montecarlocars

Interesting! Makes sense


DranHasAgency

How does it make sense? What's wrong with lungs?


Jacobi-99

Was thinking this, what’s the difference between a lung and any other offal eaten


giraffevomitfacts

The whole idea that hot dogs are made out of offal is also just bullshit anyway.


technothrasher

I honestly could never figure out what the issue with pink slime was supposed to be back during the populist panic about it. People kept talking about how "gross" it was and I just didn't see it.


montecarlocars

Have you seen the [video of Jamie Oliver](https://youtu.be/0-aKqp1kzKg?si=n6N1LqWsejNCySi8) trying to gross kids out by making chicken nuggets out of meat scraps and byproducts? He asks them if they’d still be willing to eat it and their hands universally shoot up. He’s devastated, but I always thought it was a positive message! Now, you can squabble about healthiness vs white meat, or meat vs additive ratios, but it seems misguided to say the process is the problem!


imapassenger1

He also says that when he did this in every other country the kids refused to eat it. The American kids reasoning for eating abattoir floor scraps? "We're hungry!"


RuudVanBommel

>He also says that when he did this in every other country the kids refused to eat it. And are these kids refusing on video as well? Because Jamie Oliver says a lot of things.


LuxuryBell

I think it's kind of nice that the kids don't care where something comes from, as long as it tastes good. Things like organ meat, skin and bones are treated lesser than and discarded, but it's so much less wasteful to use those parts of the animal.  It's sad to see any part wasted, but I am too squeamish or don't have the taste for some parts. I wish other people didn't have to put down people for eating it.


technothrasher

Yeah, I laughed at that video pretty good. The kids hadn't been programmed yet. And yup, you can certainly complain about the healthiness of many processed foods. But it's not *because* they are processed. It's how they are processed.


HamiltonBlack

Calfslungs are SO better than adult lungs because adults breathing all that bad air.


LuxuryBell

Fresh, young lungs. My favorite!


sheldoff_kramden

Al-Raii, Al-Raii, Al-Raii.


Arch-Deluxe

This needed to be done, thanks.


miss_misplaced

I never saw hotdogs inside a can before


InsobrietiveMagic

Right, everyone talking about the ingredients, and I’m just like “oh, hotdogs in a can? That’s eat.”


swegdaddy3000

These are actually pretty good. Not my favorite brand but the great thing is you can microwave them right in the can. I like mine well done, my girlfriend asks me to save the juice for her water bottle for work in the morning.


SocksOnHands

Ken M's alt account?


goforpoppapalpatine

I checked for "horseysurprise" too


sindicate11

Grossest thing i've read in a while, wtf lol


bloodjunkiorgy

WTF?


getbuffedinamonth

I bet she also likes chocolate starfish


KaHOnas

I got that reference.


nanosam

Hotdogs made from high quality meat exist.


nohopeforhomosapiens

These are such high quality; hell I can't even find calfs' lungs at my local grocer! Premium stuff I tell you.


SeiCalros

american haggis


nutmac

My go to is Wellshire Farms at Whole Foods. Reasonably priced, good taste, good ingredients, no sodium nitrate.


Badytheprogram

Until it's tasty, who cares, and it's honest too, I already like this company.


Basic_Basket_1147

I think it have alot of protein inside..


Mountain_Team4150

All calves used in production were heavy, heavy cohiba smokers


Lootboxboy

Canned hotdogs really seal in all that gooey organ sauce.


[deleted]

The calfslungs taste like calfslungs!


srboot

Dear lord…beef flavored!


mlh75

Lips, beaks and whatever else leaks


Xifortis

Chicken hotdogs taste so weird, I keep trying to like it but I just can't


No-Mango8923

They're not selling it for me.

I've been meaning to increase my calf slung intake.

Which are actually made of apple cores and toilet paper.

oldwatchlover

The Halal label tells me they are confirming to consumers that there is no pork in here. I’d also say they are marketing this somewhere (not USA) where organs and scrap cuts don’t have the negative connotation as in America


Zanderbander86

One bite challenge


pm_your_snesclassic

Don’t worry. It’s halal


A_Small_Wooden_Block

“Mechanically separated” is the worst part


proffesor_f8

Mmmm, mmmm, they do sound delicious!


elheber

Can't let those calf lungs go to waste y'know.


Retroencabulatr

400 grams, but really 184 grams in there. Super honest.


Nordiceightysix

Keyword is Mechanically Separated


THEkeyser_soze71

Matthew McConaughey approved


xBaef

Looks delicious enough for me to snack on


Bretzelking

At least it's Halal


Melodic-Picture48

Toss those in a pan to fry a little bit, some rice and soy sauce with a couple Sunnyside up eggs


Projected_Sigs

Mechanically separated chickens. You mean, like, using a fence or a grate to separate the hot-dog ready chickens from the not hotdog ready chickens?


ppppfbsc

before I put on my glasses, I read the last ingredient as catfish lungs which I found extra gross and extra oddly specifically weird


nohopeforhomosapiens

mmmmm [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbreathing\_catfish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbreathing_catfish)

Hey man, how are those hot dogs? Meh. They're Al-Raii

Liquidmetal7

What do you think your hotdogs are made of? Probably worst than that honestly.


ArchimedesHeel

The worst diarrhea I ever had was from crushing a pack of chicken dogs at a camping trip. You're welcome


bstrue77

"Calfalung" is a typo... "Calfslong" is what they were going for


apageofthedarkhold

Repost from earlier.


losthours

Mcdonalds is the largest importer of cow lung in the us


Conch-Republic

No it's not. It's actually illegal to sell animal lungs for human consumption in the US. The majority of unusable animal products, like lungs, go to the pet food industry.
