| abstract |
This invention relates to a novel poultry product resembling a slice or chunk of poultry breast meat, but which in fact comprises two relatively thin slices of poultry breast meat having laminated between them comminuted e.g. mechanically deboned and/or ground poultry meat so as to provide a unitary product which appears as an integral piece of meat although its interior is actually comprised of many individual pieces of meat, bound together. The poultry product of the invention when served cold, at room temperature, or when heated for serving, can be sliced without a high degree of desintegration, crumbling or falling apart. Where poultry dark meat is used in the composite of the invention preferably the dark meat has been at least partially decolorized so that the visual effect upon viewing a cross section of the composite is one of a poultry white meat or at least relatively light meat product. |
