Exactly why I like to refer to the path lab as the "parts department".

Hi Histonetters,

You would be freaked out if you looked at a section of cabanosi under the
microscope - cartilage fragments everywhere, lots of artery and vein and
even pancreas and bowel mucosa....still tastes good with cheese and water
crackers though.
My brother was studying food technology and I recall him doing some DNA
testing on minced meats and sausages some year ago - beef mince and 
sausages
were found to have traces of horse meat in it and some supposed "halal" 
and
"kosher" meats actually had pork in them! 

As an aside, some of the engineering/trades people that I know in our
hospital call myself and another colleague, "the butchers" due to the bits
of meat that are on the benches when they visit...
