Itsa probably my fault. I make a supreme home made burger Got all my friends on them 100% pure grass fed rib eye beef from our local farmers market, minced. No ground; hoof, horn, hair, teeth, beak, claw or bone to be seen No cows lungs added to the mix to give the burgers a nice healthy red colour. YES! adding cows lung to make the burgers a nice bloody red colour to make them more appetising. No laying waste to millions of acres of prime rain forest just to grow antibiotic cattle fed on ground chicken feed. Then on a ship to transport them all over the world. Just for a fucking shit thin tasteless burger cobvered in goop because it is tasteless. Dont get me started on them Nuggets!

> YES! adding cows lung to make the burgers a nice bloody red colour to make them more appetising. Is this a thing? Who sells cow lung?

  The lungs come with the cow. Delicious whole cows (with lungs) go into one doorway, on trucks. Delicious ground cow (with lungs*, I guess) comes out of another doorway on different trucks. It's the circle of life. --- Jokes aside, lungs can be food too. Lung is a traditional part of haggis, for instance. * But animal lungs have been illegal to sell for human consumption in the US since 1971: https://slate.com/technology/2023/02/usda-lung-meat-petition-food-haggis.html https://slate.com/technology/2023/02/usda-lung-meat-petition...

  I'm told that fried lungs are one of the great street foods. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, since North Americans tend to only use organs for dog food and haute cuisine, nothing in between.

    > North Americans tend to only use organs for dog food and haute cuisine, nothing in between. I used to work in the same building as a pharmaceutical company that used calf lungs to create medicine for premature babies. So that's another use, at least. And boy did the loading dock where they disposed of the remnants smell bad. Especially in the summer.

  When people say they "coughed up a lung", they weren't necessarily talking about one of their own.

Hey, nothing wrong with thin burgers. Infact fat burgers are pretty gross, the bread meat ratio is completely off.

> YES! adding cows lung to make the burgers a nice bloody red colour to make them more appetising. Please don't spread disinformation. This is not a thing that restaurants do, fast-food or not. And fast-food burgers aren't even meant to be red because they're cooked well-done.
