A fun summer course I had in college dealt with various aspects
of agriculture and production of food: I learned how they
make the meat for McNugget-like products (cook the poultry,
blow/smash it hard against a screen to remove the meat)
and things like the pimientos in olives (grind actual peppers
into paste, add gel, pour into sheet, then slice 'n insert)
or the hardboiled eggs in the salad bar (separate eggs into
whites and yolks, cook in special machine that makes a "tube egg"
a yard long, slice), etc.
