Talk:Mystery meat

SPAM is a mystery meat?

After listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast, I'm convinced that calling Spam "mystery meat" would be a misnomer as we do know what Spam is made of: pork shoulder and ham. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.172.232.252 (talk) 21:39, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Citations

I've honestly tried to find citations for this article just for the sake of keeping the stub, but there just aren't too many accredited authors writing on mystery meat if you catch my drift.72.207.241.81 (talk) 06:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. If this really can't be expanded beyond a dictionary def, it'll probably end up getting deleted. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Not every article needs to be seven pages long with a massive contents box. It's just *mystery meat*. Let it stay a stub.--89.242.205.100 (talk) 21:00, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Very much supported, let it stay! -- Ping welcome, Steue (talk) 11:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

On which sillable to stress the Japanese words?

It would be nice to know on which sillable the Japanese words "Nazoniku" and "Daisuminchi" in Mystery meat #Use in marketing are stressed.

@Steue: Not sure if you're still active here; I'd just like to point out that Japanese does not have stressed syllables and its structure is based on morae rather than syllables. Its prosody works quite differently from English, so your question cannot be answered, at least not in this form. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:28, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Florian Blaschke

For me, as a German, it's hard to try to not stress any part of these words.

Plus, as far as I know, one has to know/hear/learn the melodie of each Japanese word. So the article would "need" a sound file.

I assume you mean this Prosody (linguistics).

At least your answer corrects a falty assumption of mine.
