Salisbury Steak

1.0

I have encountered Salisbury Steak in only three contexts: (1) in an elementary school cafeteria, as a component of lunch, when I was a student in the California public school system – word got out that it was made of soy, not beef, which puzzled everyone, including me, because it seemed so meaty, not beany; (2) in a fast food restaurant in a shopping mall in Manila (see 5.064 Salisbury Steak Meal) – not good; (3) in the frozen food section at a supermarket in the US, usually as part of a set meal (e.g., “TV dinner”), though I can’t recall ever purchasing one, until today – one of those regrettable “I was hungry while food shopping at Costco/S&R” acquisitions – not good.
