Personally, I never got the fascination with this shaped "meat" patty, slathered with sauce. Now that I know what it's actually made of I'm even less inclined to partake. Some of the parts it's made from would, by themselves, be capable of being made into something rather tasty. Turned into sludge and reformed, though.....I'll pass. There's an interesting market driven reason why it's a come and go product, too.
