It has to meet this 2 requirements:

  • It's produced from the waste of another product.
  • Its ready to eat.

I think sausages and ham meet this requirement since they are made from trimmings, maybe some cereal brands but i dont know. In México, if you buy a liter of cooked beans made by a small store, it is very likely made from broken beans and bad beans left when grain is processed so i think that also meets the requirements.

Also being honest, probably chicken nuggets are made with trimmings, in spain theyre even called "croquetas" which its the same word for dog and cat food.

    Arguably there is another requirement which is that there is a server - diner power dynamic where the diner essentially gets what they are given without input or capability to feed themselves.

    With that respect the equivalent would be canteen gruel, rations, government cheese, soup kitchens etc

    I think that criteria is a bit too loose. In the American context liver pate would qualify.

    Honestly I sometimes just heat up a can of beans and put it in a bowl and think to myself "Mmmm, bachelor chow" fry

    It's... edible, but honestly pretry depressing. It tastes less bad if you're able to blend it with a banana and can be good in a pinch, but it leaves me bloated and empty inside. It's exactly what you imagined when you watched Neo eat goop in the matrix (눈_눈)

    In terms of being widely available, ready to eat or easy to prepare, having a common form with slight variations, and high popularity, then I would say Pizza.

    Requires no cooking, shelf stable, and can safely provide a complete diet? Some type of fortified bread is probably as close as you're going to get there.

    if you live in a country where pet food has to be safe for humans then theres no need to equivilate. deep fry optional cw: i assume eggs and meat of some sort, legally.
