Can't find where the meat product comes from on line either.
Everything other than the "manufactured meat pork"?

MANUFACTURED MEAT
PORK, WATER, SALT, ACIDITY REGULATORS (326, 262), SUGAR, HONEY, DEXTROSE (MAIZE, TAPIOCA), THICKENERS (1412, 407a, 415), EMULSIFIERS (450, 451, 508), ANTIOXIDANTS (316, 392), POTATO FIBRE, SODIUM NITRITE (250), CANOLA OIL, CITRUS FIBRE.
MAY CONTAIN SOY.

I typically don't buy Don stuff, simply because most of the 'meat' is not sourced from Australia. The only exception is Don skinless franks as they seem to be the only brand that don't repeat on me (I think it's the preservative in other brands that causes it).

Bad as some of the faux “meats” marketed to vegetarians.

Never quite understood not meats. Unless its for allergy reasons, i thought vegitarianism or veganism was a lifestyle choice. So why uphold that choice but want to eat things that 'taste' like meat?

I think they’re sometimes bought and served up in good faith by people wanting to cater for a vegetarian, without actually being one themselves.

Personally I’d rather have (say) tempeh than some butchered soy product supposed to be “just like” a schnitzel.

Poking my fingers into an SU carb for work, it’s been 15+ years since I’ve had one apart. They supplied a new float pivot pin in the kit, but it’s a bit roughly made - came with a very fine nipple on the end. Care factor obviously very low.

I was sitting on the throne Thursday morning and heard this thud and then clumps of dust falling from my Tastic thinking WTF?

Anyways could see the face plate come lose a bit and thought no worries just clip it back on when I get home after work.

I get home and think I'l just clip it back on except you cant.

So then I think I will cleanup all the crap in there. Well was quite surprise just how much there was, shit everywhere in my ensuite. I look into the vent and was like what is that big blocker there.

I poke it thinking it was just clumps of of dust but no some dumbarse has covered part of the vent with insulation and the fan is rubbing on it and carving it off

The mystery was solved though because there was just some spring hanging randomly and by looking at the face plate the hook gave way causing the issue in the first place

It’s an ethical thing. ie not wanting to kill an animal. But they clearly realise bacon tastes great so want a product that can give the flavour but not the kill
