Has anyone tried Treet?

[DanaC]

I've eaten some pretty ropey food in my time, particularly when J and I were living somewhat below the breadline. It's amazing what you can stomach if you're hungry enough.

Most memorably, Kwik Save's 'No Frills' beefburgers. Ugh, they were fucking grim. But if you plastered them with tomato ketchup and tried not to think about the contents they went down easily.

I, too, have a can of this mysterious meat substance, and have been afraid to open it. While I've got a bit of a liking for fried Spam sammiches, something about the name Treet sets me off.

But look!

Treet has a less greasy texture than Spam, more akin to bologna or vienna sausages. Like Spam, it is often heated before consumption. This includes frying or baking. For unknown reasons, possibly ingredient costs, Treet is copied for private label luncheon loaf more often than Spam. While very popular, and often less expensive than Spam, Treet does not have Spam's cult following. --Wiki

Less greasy, but otherwise it's the same thing as Spam. Hmmm.

In the U.S. there are specific labelling differences between burgers and patties. Patties can contain the less popular parts of the moo cow, but it's still technically all beef. Burgers are the higher quality (non organ) meats.
