Default Saw interesting item at Aldi today

They had some frozen 1/4 pound economy beef patties in a 4# box for $6.
That's right, #1.50 per pound. I looked at the label to see how much
soy was added and how much fat, etc. I didnt see the fat content, but
beef hearts and TVP were *way* up on the ingredient list, maybe 2nd and
3rd place respectively.

That's a pretty clever way to do it: use fatty beef scraps for the bulk,
beef hearts for their intense beefy taste and texture and color, and TVP
to drive the price down and reduce the fat even more. I didn't buy any,
but I probably will next time I go there. The stuff probably sucks for
grilling burgers (but you never know) but should work great in stews,
chili, Hamburger Helper, etc -- much better than ground turkey. And it
was cheaper than the turkey.
