Grade D beef with a mixture of oats and other stuff.

>>9893900
Es carne de burro

>>9893900
dogs and cats

>>9893900
it looks like cooked mince, could be wrong tho

>>9893906

There's no such thing as "grade D" meat

Ever wonder what the "bell" represents?

bells ring. it is processed ring worm

They use at least 20% oats and caramel coloring in the "beef"

>>9894011
Sausage is made of ground up pig anuses

who gives a shit. It tastes good.

>>9894026
I guess not everyone relishes buttholes, like yourself. But you keep rockin that alt-diet thing.

>>9894041
>I guess not everyone relishes buttholes, like yourself.
I mustard AND relish them ;)

>>9893900
It's basically ground beef with a bunch of ingredients to make it thicken the seasoning mixture and to bulk it up. It's only about 80% beef.

Not sure but I'd wager it's the lowest grade fit for human consumption with a heaping helping of GMO cereals mixed in. But it has it's following, so there's that.

>>9894053
Isn't that why they have to call anything on the menu with beef "beefy"?

>>9894061

nope nope nope nope

>>9894001
You've clearly never been to taco bell

>>9894050
jej

There is silica in it.
I can't stand eating there anymore. I never liked the beef, and then, every Friday my boss would buy a 12pack of supreme tacos and share with me and co-worker. I ate it because, hey free food, but it's so gross.

Thank God, they came out with that Diablo sauce I can cover it all up with/

taco meat grown in a lab

>>9894105
Golden or chocolate?

>>9894109
nice

>>9894109

>>9894053
>80%

It's much less than that.

Soy meat.

>meat

Taco Bell is 100% soy

>>9893900
I don't care cause it's good, for me it's the Crunchy Gordita with fire sauce

It's got silicone dioxide in it, which is basicaly fucking sand. Anybody remember a few years ago when this big lawsuit was in the news?
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2011/04/22/135539926/with-lawsuit-over-taco-bells-mystery-meat-is-a-mystery-no-longer
I remember when this happened they went on a big campaign selling full sized crunch wraps for 50 cents to prove their beef is good. I ate soooo many of those sand sandwiches

>>9893900
Some kind of beef mixture that's mixed with the spit of the employees.

>TFW you settle down with a nice pack of a dozen tacos made of meat product and a large bang's root beer
I love the bell
Those stackers are TASTY

Miss Terry meat

>>9893900
The kind that just barely passes FDA standards to be considered beef. My friend used to work there.

>>9894415
I used to work there personally as recently as a year ago. Jesus fucking Christ, the bags don't say what kind of beef it is or what grade it is, your friend is a fucking retard, or more likely, you're just talking out your ass.
All the "durr it's oats it's soy it's cut with this and that" are also fucking retards, the ingredients list is BEEF, WATER, SPICES, and I fucking dare you to go into a Taco Bell and ask to see the box the beef bags come in to prove me wrong.

>>9893900
Look it up. It's only 30% meat and the rest is filler.

>>9893900
20% "meat product"
80% filling, i.e. oats

>>9894446
>the internet doesn't exist, guys. Surely no one will just look up easily circulated information!

>>9894464
>why don't you look it up on the worst website in the world

alrighty https://jezebel.com/5742413/this-is-what-really-hides-in-taco-bells-beef

>>9894446
Beef, Water, Seasoning [Isolated Oat Product, Salt, Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Tomato Powder, Oats (Wheat), Soy Lecithin, Sugar, Spices, Maltodextrin, Soybean Oil (Anti-dusting Agent), Garlic Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Caramel Color, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Silicon Dioxide, Natural Flavors, Yeast, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor], Salt, Sodium Phosphates. CONTAINS SOYBEANS, WHEAT

>>9894050
lel actually laughed

>>9894050

>>9894476
>>9894481
Ha! Oats confirmed! Just as everyone has said all along. Taco Bell shills eternally BTFO!

whatever it is i hope they keep it up that filth tastes pretty good mane

>>9894503
It's in the 3rd ingredient.

>>9894510
plus that looks like an old/outdated list, could have changed many times since then

>>9894109
ahahhahahahah

>>9894514
This is right from tacobell.com
Beef, water, seasoning [cellulose, chili pepper, maltodextrin, salt, oats (contains wheat), soy lecithin, spices, tomato powder, sugar, onion powder, citric acid, natural flavors (including smoke flavor), torula yeast, cocoa, disodium inosinate & guanylate, dextrose, lactic acid, modified corn starch], salt, sodium phosphates. Contains: Soy, Wheat

>>9894529
thank you for enlightening us annon

>>9894026
>who gives a shit. It tastes good.

>>9894529
cellulose is not a seasoning. it is pretty much wood pulp.

>>9894529
so oats are apart of the flavoring? kind wish we had a ration.

Or also a youtube channel like McDonalds where they show the process of making the pre-made protein

hey if they can make it taste good with 50% oats i could care less

Most fast-food meats are cut with soy beans

>>9894561
even this so called "wood pulp" meme. Im totally chill with eating wood if it tastes good.

>>9894050
NICE

>>9894565
Cellulose is a major component of tough cell walls that surround plant cells, and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches so strong.

>>9894653
yeah i know, i was a crop production major, doesn't sway me at all

>>9894677
agreed anon, if it tastes good and doesn't kill me idgaf what it is

>>9894148
I seriously don't believe that.
I don't trust the FDA by any means, but to let meat less than 80% through would be a legitimate world wide issue.
Have a meat less anywhere close to 3/4 meat would not go over well.

>>9894691
>>9894677
>>9894565

>>9894218
>not diablo sauce
LMFAO

>>9894481
Right. Beef, Water, Seasoning, just like I said. Thank you for proving my point.

>>9894256
Some cheese products have varying percentages of sawdust in them

>>9894711
diablo is nasty and tastes sour.

>>9894787
Wrong.

>>9894055

>saying GMO like it's a bad thing

wanna know how I know you're a boomer?

>>9894476

>maltodextrin

I guess this explains how I can eat a couple thousand calories at taco bell and still be hungry

>>9893900
Human meat.


Ever wonder where all the dead illegal immigrants go?

>>9894895
no.

I never understood how tacobell was able to stay in business in canada.

I mean there food is fairly expensive for what it is, its also fucking always terrible.

So basically its the bottom of the barrel as far as fast food chains go while not being anywhere near the cheapest, atleast in canada.

>>9894895
I wish

Forget taco bell, I wanna know what makes up the disgusting abomination that is jack in the box tacos

>>9894050

AYY

>>9895103

Woah that employee needs to get his gloves on

>>9894697
Has taco bell ever called it 'meat'?

I like taco bell, but after like a few chilli cheese burritos, or 4 tacos, it starts to feel really gross.

>>9896005
The silica would explain why it tears your butthole up so bad the next day. I thought it was just the shitty mexi-spices they use.

>>9894476
Minus the oats that seems pretty tame. Wonder how they maintain that texture?

>>9893900

>>9894109

>>9894050
Keep doing gods work anon

>>9894697
It's a bullshit rumor. The taco meat is beef, water, spices, and the kinds of additives you'd find in any kind of mass produced pre-prepared food. If you make taco meat at home using a regular recipe it'd be identical except for the additives and spice recipe.

Everyone saying it's less than 80% beef or whatever are just spreading bullshit unfounded rumors.

>>9898251
This guy has an absolute command of incorrect information

>>9893900
from they website;

>Beef, water, seasoning [cellulose, chili pepper, maltodextrin, salt, oats (contains wheat), soy lecithin, spices, tomato powder, sugar, onion powder, citric acid, natural flavors (including smoke flavor), torula yeast, cocoa, disodium inosinate & guanylate, dextrose, lactic acid, modified corn starch], salt, sodium phosphates.

>>9893900

not sure, but I do know it's filled with a 100% deliciousness

>>9893900
Z grade "meet" and TVP, and honestly i love TVP, if they just switched to TVP and didnt bother feigning having "real meat" I'd actually buy there more.

>>9898266
Prove him wrong.
(Regurgitating the ingredient list for the umpteenth time does not, it only proves him right.)

>>9898471
there is a pic of the bag the "meat" comes in in this tread. ASSHOLEFACE

>>9894109
what is the joke plese explain

>>9898621
golden or chocolate lab... meat is grown in lab. very funny joke commrad.

>>9896245
Says it in the list. "Silicon Dioxide (Anti-caking agent)".
Fun fact: Silicon Dioxide is better-known as glass or sand.

>>9898633
who knew sand tasted so damn good

>>9898642
anakin hates tacobell

>>9893900
Circus animals, mixed with dead cattle, & paper mache.

>>9898534
And where on that bag does it list the percentages?

>>9898672
THats not what you called me out on, and everything on that bag is in order of quantity from greatest to least. again, fuck you

>>9894256
I was surprised that it wasn't just tvp

>>9898633
>Silicon Dioxide
It's also a chemical found in oats, leafy greens and beets, it's perfectly safe to eat

>>9898688
Perhaps you could move your goal post and declare it 20% water now, since your 20 percent oats argument is shit.

This is actually the most authentic thing about taco bell. they use the cheapest "meat" just like in mexico

I am always confused as to how something so low grade as fast food tastes so good.
>inb4 make it at home it tastes better
Your half pound 98/2 burger does not taste better than a Mcdonald's Mcdouble, you can keep telling yourself it is, but you're just projecting.

>>9898707
wrong guy. you got a mouth made for buttfucking on you

>>9898633
When I'm president, it will be illegal for people to talk about things they don't understand.

Fun fact: as >>9898705 said, silica is naturally found in a variety of plant foods and to a smaller degree in some seafood and organ meats. It is a major naturally occurring trace element in the human body and has been shown to have a beneficial role in bone formation and health. Experiments with laboratory animals have also shown that deprivation of silicon results in skeletal abnormalities and defects.

>>9898761
Wrong
Any home cooked meal could taste better than fast food
It all depends on the cook and ingredients
And McDonald's is pretty shit when it comes too burgers so it would be pretty easy too make a better burger

>>9898785
They are two separate things. I've never had fast food that resembled home cooked meals, i've never had a home cooked meal that tastes like fast food. Both taste good, I don't understand how.

>>9898803
>>9898803
Fast food tastes good because it has a bit (or a lot) more salt, fat, and sugar than home cooked meals. Home cooked meals taste better because they use fresher/better ingredients, and are prepared more carefully. If you overcook your beef patties, and smother them in a fatty/salty sauce, and then wrap it in paper and squish it a bit, it'd probably get closer to that fast-food taste. Don't forget to use the cheapest buns and cheese you can find. Maybe you could microwave the buns a bit (after frying them in butter) to get an extra bit of soggyness.

>>9894481

wheat oats

>>9898848
Honestly it really depends on the fast food. Sometimes you'll see fresher ingredients there just because they go through them on a JIT basis rather than sitting out in the grocery store for a week, or a nominally "healthier" burger because they're still using 1/10 or 1/6 patties instead of the 1/3 beef dreadnoughts that home cooks have settled on.

There are also other health-neutral things that until recently have been difficult for home cooks to do, like McDonald's blanching their fries at a specific low temperature for added crispness. It turns out you can replicate those near-exactly if you have an immersion cooker.

It's letter grade meat.

>>9893900
Newspaper. Also nice dubs.

>>9899817
My 12th grade english teacher told us all some crazy horror story about watching "D grade meat" get brought, as though he thought it would stop any of us from going there

>>9893900
It's 88% beef, 12% oats, spices, and water

>>9893911
Really

>>9894148
That lawsuit against them in 2011 tested the meat and showed that it was about 35% actual beef (below the 70% FDA requirement to be called beef, and below the 40% requirement to be called "taco meat filling" or something. In 2014, Taco Bell said it was 88% beef + filler. I'm not sure how to rectify that conflicting information.

>>9900647
You have some legit links to back that up I guess.

>>9894561
>>9894565
The problem isn't the oats in themselves, it's the advertising. If Taco Bell says it's 100% beef but cut it's meat with other filling products, then they're making you pay for lies.

>>9900647
>I'm not sure how to rectify that conflicting information.
It's not conflicting. They got called out and had to fix their shit so they were actually in compliance.

>>9900647
You mean the lawsuit that was dropped by the law firm that started it?

>>9901237
Hey taco bell defense attorney... we will stop telling the truth and just say nice stuff about your client for like 20 bucks each a week.

>>9900850
The problem isn't the advertising, it's the advertising regulations. They get to call it "100% beef" as long as the only meat used in the product is beef and the product is at least 70% actual beef by weight.
There's nothing inherently illegal about the way Taco Bell or anybody else advertises.

>>9898778
Unless you're having conversations with ghosts again, nothing that was said was incorrect, you raging autist.

This is why I love my country. You can't even say "Our tacos are the best!" or "Kids love our product the most!" here. Sketchy wording by companies is illegal.
