Anyone try meat glue? Transglutaminase? Yes, it is ALSO used to glue small low-quality bits of meat into roasts and such, but in addition to being a glue, it is also used as a thickener. I'm pretty sure all the "Greek yogurt" we've seen in the last 20 years are because Transglutaminase was added to regular yogurt (cheap!) rather than the traditional Greek method of straining regular yogurt until the water was halved (expensive!).
