Had you going for a minute there, didn't I? :uhyeah:
Not at all. Unfortunately you are right.

Reconstituted steaks, fillets, roasts, or cutlets - Meat glue is added to disparate chunks of meat (like cheap stew meat, chunks of chicken – any meat, really) and rubbed in. The chunks are compressed together and left to cool; after several hours, the meat pieces have formed insoluble bonds made of protein polymers. You can usually pull apart the “steak” to reveal the composite pieces, but take a quick glance and you’d never know it was cheap stew meat glued together. To most consumers, the resultant reconstituted “steak” is indistinguishable from a real slab of meat once it’s cooked, but a skilled meat glue artist can create “steaks” that fool experts – even when they’re raw.

Not that I'm trying to detract from the sad news of Elder's OP. :asian:

That could explain a lot of the "Salisbury steak" I ate in school. Tofu is looking a lot better ...

As with any other food, tofu varies in quality. My favorite is age-tofu, that comes pre-grilled. Haven't been able to find it stateside, but it's one of my favorite comfort foods.
