the guy whose campaign picked Sarah Palin thinks she's off the hook now -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 08:46 4

  - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:31
  - Ahh yes the enigmatic wild balony fish -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 08:23
- Yikes! They are my brand of choice for sandwiches and cold cuts. - Krusty Jul 26, 07:57 32
  - Same, but it appears limited to liverwurst and some products from that same liverwurst factory. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 08:02 3
    - They don't say what was made in the factory along with it but ham was mentioned. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:04 2
      - The other ready-to-eat deli meat products were produced on June 27, 2024. The following deli meat products are subject to recall: - JD Jul 26, 08:06 1
        
        Thanks! Thankfully I don't eat any of those products. I get my capicola from different brands. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:13
  - Genuinely curious...what about cold cuts is processed? - oblique Jul 26, 08:01 17
    - It's chunks of lesser quality meat all bound together. Emulsifiers, nitrates, sodium, flavourings. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 08:12 3
      - FTR, that's not the type of product to which Krusty is referring, nor is it part of the recall yet. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 08:13 2
        
        i didn't say it was the same product or recalled, i was answering the question i responded to. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 08:16 1
        
        Understood, I'm sure peeps in this thread know the difference. Just wanted to say it out loud for everyone else. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 08:50
    - nmbkilbo - Pippy Jul 26, 08:05 1
      - heh. when I first looked - oblique Jul 26, 08:07
    - It's not raw meat though. Ham is brined and cooked = processed -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 08:02 5
      - Generally my processed definition is centered around "are there a lot of extra things I can't pronounce in the ingredients list" -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 08:03 4
        
        There's your problem, you're using an incorrect definition! - Roger More Jul 26, 08:12 1
        
        And some cold cuts would be processed more than others - eg baloney is a lot more processed than ham. -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 08:13
        
        If you read about processed foods, deli meats is usually listed among the most highly processed, though I've never really understood why either. -- nm - pmb Jul 26, 08:04 1
        
        They add things like nitrate which breaks down to something that increases our risk for cancer. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:11
    - They add things to it to make it last longer. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:02 4
      - Like pre-packaged ones you mean? I can see that -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 08:02 3
        
        Nope. That big ham in the deli that they slice for you is processed. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:03 2
        
        mostly by adding sodium (most often sodium nitrate) - decline Jul 26, 08:21 1
        
        Nitrite is a type of compound of which sodium nitrate is a specific one. Thought to do bad things to the body in large quantities -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 09:01
  - Kudos for staying vigilant. FWIW, this notice is still limited to meats sliced at the deli. Pre-sliced still not affected AFAICT. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 08:01 9
    - Pre-sliced cold cuts are not allowed in this household. All cold cuts are sliced thin from the deli counter. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:03 8
      - this seems so " new york" to me :) -- nm - Pippy Jul 26, 08:04 7
        
        Heh. :-) I assumed everyone gets their cold cuts sliced to order from the deli. - Krusty Jul 26, 08:09 6
        
        Dude, before the pandemic I linked a story on how delis are going out of business locally. Thankfully, I still have a few indie ones near Del Amo - con_carne Jul 26, 08:18 5
        
        (vegetarian plus fish and low saturated fat meats, I should say) -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 09:03
        
        Such a shame. Fresh sliced is the best way to go. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 08:22 3
        
        Yeah, plus delis themselves help make for a great local community, standing around chit-chatting waiting for your slices or just grab a coffee. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 08:26 2
        
        I'm friendly with my deli guy. Even when I don't get cold cuts I stop over and say hi. He just got back from visiting family in the DR so I checked in - Krusty Jul 26, 08:33 1
        
        Oh yeah, the deli around the corner from my momma's house is a great example of a local institution full of character as well - con_carne Jul 26, 08:53
Imagine going into a coma in 1993 and waking up now to see the Snoop go from trial for gang murder to his current role - Will Hunting Jul 26, 07:48 5

        Ah, I was looking at the international only. Thanks -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 08:20
- historically, it's been a coin flip -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 07:46 1
  - Yup, that's why this year is an eye opener, and even more evidence that the solution to increasing box office is more movies. - Inigo Jul 26, 07:50
