From Catherine Laughlin
The “pink slime” pictured in your report on recovered meat (24 March, p 4) looks remarkably like what we in South Australia call “fritz”, produced in a sausage shape about 6 centimetres in diameter.
Butchers used to (and may still) offer children a slice, almost always accepted with pleasure. I once asked our butcher what it was made of and he merely smiled and said: “Don’t ask.”
