Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Oh, that's a tortilla! I guess it's just the lighting that makes it look gray? I hope.
You just know these guys will do their best for Epstein after weeks of eating nothing but the finest cuisine.
Caption says it is unidentified meat.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.
That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it. It looks a bit undercooked though, those meat strips are a bit like bacon and tend to curl up and bubble when they're cooked.
Not if you boil them in water.
That really doesn't look like meat... Or edible for that matter.
Have you seen milspec "food" before? IIRC, it's "graded" right above prison quality (which is just above dog food, I believe?).
Could it be scrapple? It's definitely some kind of processed meat that's been fried on the flat top
Yeah, scrapple was what i was thinking too (there name escaped me when I posted the image though).
There's a proper photo of the tortilla in the article. That grey thing is "unidentified" meat.
There are two photos that have been going around. One is a tray that has just a lump of minced meat and a couple tortillas, the other has a gray slab, minced meat, and boiled carrots.
I love how to this day, no one can tell what that gray slab on the tray is.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.
Oh OK. In the picture I thought it was some kind of weird fish slice.
It looks like a whetstone. At this rate, the sailors will need to sharpen their implements and start hunting each other for sustenance...
And both are in the article for the small minority that manages to click the link
One folded tortilla; apparently the grey thing is "gyro meat," that's not been shredded and reheated on a flat grill.
Meat is not flat, gray, and shiny
