  • Yes, I know they rounded up and killed people’s pets and abused the people and whatnot, and it’s been a terrible abusive travesty. I’ve actually been aware of what happened to the Chagossians for years now, long before reading your comment.

    My point was just that it was already plenty egregious and inhumane enough without exaggerating. When you say “all the animals” it makes it sound like they annihilated the entire ecosystem, which was within the realm of possibility (again: see Pacific nuclear testing) and therefore possible for someone to misinterpret as literal instead of hyperbole, but not actually what happened.

    It’s cured, slow-smoked (to an internal temp of 203 °F, much higher than what would be considered “well done” for steak), and then steamed. It’s literally the most cooked a piece of meat can possibly be without becoming inedible.

    On top of that, it’s a cheap, tough cut of meat that only becomes delicious because of the complicated and laborious prep. When you buy a sandwich like that (which is pretty expensive), the extensive cooking process is most of what you’re paying for.
