ABSTRACT:
A hard-frozen anisotropic foodstuff is subjected to a process of "veneer-peeling" at a core temperature of -40.degree. C. to -5.degree. C. In this "veneer-peeling" the hard-frozen foodstuff is for example cut in the manner of a lathe or like a pencil-sharpener. If the foodstuff is raw or uncooked meat, veneer-peeling weakens or fragments the strong connective tissue within the meat whilst retaining the essential fibrous character of the muscle fibers resulting in less tough meat. Thus lower quality meat can be upgraded. A wide array of morphologies of meat particles can be prepared. Other food materials cut in this way are ice cream, coconut, vegetables and hide material leading to offcut with new and useful morphologies.
