If I remember correctly, the cafeteria I was stuck in bought frozen
hamburger patties from an outfit that used some kind of soy product to
stretch their meat dollar, in a Hamburger Helper sort of way, but it
wasn't pure soy at the time. I don't recall the meat as being
particularly bad tasting, but the buns were frequently half stale.
Today, I wouldn't hazard a guess as to what's being served or the
quality or taste of it.
