With added olive/waste oil nowadays.
Yup, that's "olive oil" which is made by scraping up the waste which
would normally be used for compost or winter fuel from the floor of the
oil mill and treating it with steam and solvents to get out the residual
oil. The resulting substance referred to as "lamp oil" in Italy is then
de-odorised, partially hydrogenated and added with lecithin and water to
make a "spread". Mmmmmmmm enjoy.

Lovely stuff. Even taking that with a pinch of salt, it's quite amazing
what the food industry can get away with.

Mechanically recovered meat.

Pressure wash all the **** off the bones, and make pies with it.

Is it really much different to boiling the bones for stock and broth?
But this is the difference between a non cheap steak pie and a 49p Happy
Shopper pasty...
