All meat is processed by definition
The list of unprocessed meat we eat is fairly short, I can only think of oysters.
Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.
Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?
There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.
Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.
I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.
only if you byte through the shell
Opening the shell does nothing to what's inside. I wouldn't call that processing of the meat.
Now I am imagining otters working in a meat processing plant.
Isn't the shell kept closed by "the meat"? By opening it you are cutting through their muscles. Being stabbed is quite a process.
So is living. If you're going to be that pedantic no unprocessed food can possibly exist.
Sure, but there's a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.
Even my meat am I right
There are different degrees of processing. The "meat" mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.
It’s the difference between a whole, cooked potato and Pringles.
Aren't Pringle's even made of corn flour primarily? But yeah, that's another good example.
Edit: got me curious, looked it up myself. Short: no, almost [sic!] half of them is potatos and it's wheat starch, not corn.
