Day Four: Parts is Parts (letterbox)
I’m serious, people — you can’t make this stuff up. It HAD to be commemorated with a letterbox, right? And I quote from the NE State Historical Society:
In 1972 Professor Roger Mandingo of the University of Nebraska received a grant from the National Pork Producers Council to work on a process to create restructured meats. He developed a technology to bind small pieces of meat together in different shapes using salt and mechanical action. The results of his work can be seen today in such items as dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and the famous McRib” Sandwich. Next time you bite into that juicy restructured meat patty, be sure to thank Professor Mandingo.
The words “restructured meat patty” freak me right out.
