no nonsense here. you just haven't heard of meat floss. it's real trendy in China.

here's the front of that box it has pictures.

Probably a bit of a translation issue, but if I had to guess I would think it's the chicken version of this stuff: https://www.seriouseats.com/my-latest-obsession-pork-floss-chinese-rousong-pork-sung-pork-fu.

And it's probably more savory than sweet, maybe more like meat filled buns. This dehydrated pork fiber is actually pretty good, but it is a little strange the first time you have it.

Savory, yes but, oh is it sweet, porksung or as sometimes called "Pork floss" is dehydrated lard mixed with sugar. It is oh so delicious but likely nothing is healthy there.

Yeah, never underestimate the amount of sugar in meat floss. But it sure is convenient for adding to ramen.

Huh. Sounds nice

The 10th dentist suggests flossing with meat at least twice per day

Okay, I was gonna try to say something silly, but now I'm just wondering what the actual product is and looks like...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

"meat floss" is a thing. look it up real quick. is probably a bun of some kind filled with chicken based meat floss. i don't think there's been any translation error. just a somewhat obscure food in the West. it's tiktok (or whatever equivalent) famous in China and other Asian countries

edit: pretty sure this is the exact product with pictures. . yep, that's a bun with meat floss in it. the op picture intentionally doesn't show the front of the box to make it seem mysterious.

google a "porksung bun" not the same, but I've seen these in the supermarket, floss is the english word for it so they are very similar.
