This is usually my go-to canned ""meat"" product.
A bit less salty and cheaper than deviled ham spread. I've never had vienna sausaged, but i've heard this stuff is basically them, just pureed

Tripe used to be the #1 ingredient followed by the "partially defatted pork...etc". Tripe went gourmet and so price went up. This poor man's offal, overnight was replaced with the ubiquitous "mechanically separated chicken puree...". What a shame. The two are as different as pistachio is to the lowly peanut. Lobster is to canned tuna. Tripe is high cuisine and the depth of flavor and fat of tripe makes their mechanically separated chicken substitution taste like chickeny sawdust ... an unworthy substitute. Potted meat until seven or eight years ago, was the best kept secret of closet gourmets. For thirty-three cents in a tab-top canister we had something that was hard to distinguish from fancy French country pate'. Rich, creamy, salty, fatty rich protein ready to be scooped onto a crusty brochette, crudités or chunk of room temperature brie. Dump the Libby's or Armour potted tripe onto a lettuce landscaped platter with tiny pickles, olives, walnuts and rustic bread and you'd pay $12.50 as an appetizer.

Posters who claim this stuff as processed rot-gut slaughterhouse waste are exposing their naivety and limited knowledge and instead propagate a geeky teenage response they assume alk others will embrace .. the "ewwwww, icky, gross yucko" typical reaction of someone without knowledge and lacking developed taste. These food rookies have been weaned on Velveeta, Pizza Hut and drive though. They equate chicken liver spreads, consune'd meats and pate's as disgusting settlements of the poor and needy gutter people. "Let them eat cake...!" and Cheetos . That's fine. All the more for us that know what's REALLY good eats.
