Just more proof of why the Chinese are the most dangerous people on the planet and how they have no interest in law, sanitary conditions or the environment.

So that's the recipe for Hormel Always Tender Flavored Pork.

There are so many food stories about China these days. Here in Taiwan they won't buy this sort of bristly crab (called "hairy crabs", named for the bristles all over its body) from China because the Chinese crabs definitely have a cancer causing chemical polluting them.

And two years ago there was a big warning about not eating one popular holiday treat imported from China (pork and sticky rice wrapped in green bamboo leaves, shaped like fat triangles) because unscrupulous vendors had added mercury, I believe, which kept the bamboo leaves green longer so they could sell more of them. Never mind that mercury is a fatal toxin!

The moral-less mainland Chinese are at least showing an impressive knowledge of chemistry. Too bad it's only to destroy humans with for a quick buck.

She's beautiful... Chinese government should crack down these fake food manufacturers so that this beautiful lady and her kind will not be wasted... ;-)

Just when you think you’ve been grossed out by Chinese food ingredients, they come up with something worse :(

Well, look on the brightside.

Also, was it "Free Range" cardboard? I know PETA protests those restaurants that mistreat cardboard.

Difficult to believe that the commonly used pork is as tender and mushy as this soaked cardboard, Also difficult to believe that the flavor wouldn’t be a dead giveaway. It would taste like alkali.

[Thinkin' Gal]

The recipe went like this: Cardboard was soaked in water and an industrial-use caustic soda, a poisonous chemical, was added. The cardboard lost its normal color and became fragile under the soda's strong causticity, making it look more like pork. Finally, pork-smell essence and pork fat were stirred into the concoction to make the stuffing more "vivid."

But how did the customers like it? That’s what counts, right?

I usually soak mine in baking soda. It’s safer.

Ah yes, even here in the heartland of bbq pork, the Carolinas, our pork substitute can fool even the most discriminating of palates. Are YOU ready for the blindfolded Pepsi challenge?

And to make matters worse, there was.... SLIME IN THE ICE MACHINE.

(Long-time Houston residents will probably know what I'm referring to)

Now, I’ve heard it all. THAT pretty much “takes the cake”, errr, buns. LOL There are some pretty unscrupulous people in China. From now on, I won’t be eating ANYTHING that I know comes from China! The scary part is that we don’t know EVERYTHING that comes from them!

[NRA2BFree]

Besides the buns being cardboard, would you look at the unsanitary conditions of that kitchen! The man making the buns has no shirt on and he could have a lot of hair on his chest, or under arm hair that could fall into the “buns.” Top right photo shows a person with bare feet and the floor littered with trash. A restaurant in the US who did that would be closed down in two seconds.

Looks like they won't get that cardboard "A" rating in THEIR window ;-)
