Various meats, such as beef, pork, chicken, turkey and variety (nonskeletal) meats are used. It is produced internationally as a source of affordable meat. Its long shelf life and cooked state make it suitable for emergency food supplies, and for military and camping uses, although the high content of fat, and/or preservatives may make it unsuitable for frequent consumption. The final product typically has a spreadable consistency, and typically contains high amounts of salt as a preservative. Armour Star Ingredients: Mechanically separated chicken, beef tripe, water, salt, and less than 2%: mustard, natural flavor, garlic powder, vinegar, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite.

An alley or alleyway is a narrow lane found in urban areas, often for pedestrians only, which usually runs between or behind buildings. In older cities and towns in Europe, alleys are often what is left of a medieval street network, or a right of way or ancient footpath in an urban setting. In older urban development, alleys were built to allow for deliveries such as coal to the rear of houses. Alleys may be paved, or simply dirt tracks. A blind alley has no outlet at one end and is thus a cul-de-sac. In England there are numerous words used locally to describe alleys that are narrow pavements between or behind buildings. Jennel, which may be spelt gennel or ginnel, is common in Manchester, Lancashire, Sheffield, Leeds and other parts of Yorkshire.[4] It is also used in Oldham. In some cases, “ginnel” may be used to describe a covered or roofed passage, as distinct from an open alley. Twitten is a Sussex dialect word, used in both East and West Sussex, for a path or alleyway. It is still in official use in some towns including Brighton and Cuckfield.[5] In Nottinghamshire, north-west Essex and east Hertfordshire, twichell is common. In Liverpool the term entry, jigger or snicket is more common. “Entry” is also used in some parts of Lancashire, Manchester, though not in South Manchester. This usually refers to a walkway between two adjoining terraced houses, which leads from the street to the rear yard or garden. The word jitty or gitties is often found in Derbyshire and Leicestershire and gulley is a term used in the Black Country.. In north-east England they can be called chares, and in Plymouth, opes. In Shropshire (especially Shrewsbury) they are called shuts. Other terms in use are cuttings, 8-foots, 10-foots (in Scunthorpe and Hull), and snicket. In York, local author Mark W. Jones devised the word snickelway in 1983 as a portmanteau of the words snicket, ginnel and alleyway. Although the word is a neologism, it quickly became part of the local vocabulary, and has even been used in official council documents, for example when giving notice of temporary footpath closures. Proper arguments in the office over Snicket, Twichell & Ginnel!
