Official sources guarantee that this "new meat" sold in Cuban grocery stores, at least in this central province, maintains the "same protein level." What have they invented now?
Exclusively for the most discerning palates (and children under six), the Sancti Spíritus Meat Company launched a "new gastronomic gem": a picadillo that combines innovation, protein, and, of course, MDM.
Yes, you read that right: MDM. Something that as you know is not a new superfood or an artificial intelligence technology, but “Meat Derived Mechanically” (for its acronym in English) or "Mechanically Deboned Meat In Spanish, we could popularly call it flesh squeezed to the core.
It is a meat product obtained through an industrial process in which the meat that remains attached to the bones after traditional butchering is removed. This procedure is carried out using machines that apply high pressure to separate the meat from the bones.
According to statements by Elizabeth Rodríguez Castellano, marketing technician at the meat company, More than 23 children from Sancti Spiritus will receive this "delicacy" during May., composed by 70% beef and a generous 23% MDMThe rest, one supposes, is space for the imagination.
Cuba and the new meat market in Sancti Spiritus's wineries
The best—and most reassuring—thing is that, according to the source, this new meat hybrid "It maintains the same protein level as the previous ones."Because we already know that when it comes to children's nutrition, there's nothing like measuring quality by grams of protein, not by its source.
It is worth remembering that between January and March in this province was delivered to the warehouses “Real real” ground beef to children.
In April, the stakes were raised with a hash that promised 70% beef. first qualityNow, in May, the menu evolves into a more… shall we say, textured experience.
However, those who have special medical diets in this area can breathe easy: will continue to receive top-quality meat.
The rest of the country is watching this new meat offering with interest, wondering: Is this the future of Cuban children's nutrition, or just another picadillo that will go down in history—and in casseroles—with more mystery than flavor? Will the "new meat" reach more stores in the country?

That reminds me of the 90s of the much-loved last century, when a great thinker invented nothing more and nothing less than meat paste, casing-free fricandel, goose paste, soy mince, and what can I say about Castro's famous hamburgers, saying they were better than M'Donnal's? What about all those delicacies that didn't last long, but those who invented them, as VanVan says, are still there. Hahahahahahaha.
Go see what kind of meat that is. I worked in a food processing center and saw "wonders" done. Be careful not to let it be a fabrication and end up hospitalized, as has already happened to some children who have unfortunately suffered the consequences.
I don't like things the way they are said, with irony and even contempt and mockery.
MDM is Mechanically “DEBOONED” Meat.
Please check your notes before posting.
and what is MDM
It's good to know what's happening in Cuba and be informed of everything that's coming, thanks
How wonderful. In Villa Clara, nothing is accepted for medical diets, no meat, not even of dubious origin.
