It might have been popular because it was a pretty cheap meat. I don't know what the heck that stuff was but it was kind of nasty if you ask me. OTOH, it might be that we weren't preparing it properly.

This stuff is frozen and vacuum packed and comes in a roll about 6 inches long. My guess is that it's substandard meat which is why I haven't seen it sold any other way. It has an unusual dead look to it. It looks like meat you would get when there's no fresh meat available. I'll have to investigate to see if I can turn this into something appetizing.

Here's what I had for lunch.
