German term or phrase: Formfleisch/Separatorenfleisch
Im XXX Restaurant werden die Hähnchen in einem separaten Kühlhaus getrennt von den anderen Lebensmittel gelagert. Vor der endgültigen Zubereitung ziehen sie 24 bis maximal 48 Stunden in einer Marinade, die ihnen den unnachahmlichen Geschmack verleiht. Danach werden sie paniert und kommen sofort in die eigens für XXX entwickelten Druckfriteusen, in denen sie nach einem speziellen Verfahren schonend und gleichzeitig knusprig frittiert werden. Je nachdem ob Filet oder Flügel muss das Hähnchenprodukt dann in einer Zeit zwischen einer halben und zwei Stunden nach der Zubereitung über die Restauranttheke gewandert sein. Ist die Zeit überschritten, werden die Teile entsorgt. Verwendet werden ausschließlich ganze, gewachsene Fleischstücke aus frisch geschlachteten und frisch zubereiteten Hähnchenteilen, kein FORM- ODER SEPARATORENFLEISCH.

Formfleisch might be sausage.

Help please - urgent

I\'ve just realised: Spam is (sort of) beef. We\'re talking chicken here. Collins calls \"Formfleisch\" pressed meat.

Another option: Moulded or restructured meat(http://pci204.cindoc.csic.es/tesauros/Alimen/html/ALI_C2.HTM...

neutral  jerrie: just a note...I think spam/luncheon meat are pork based, if they actually contain any form of meat at all!
