A first proteinaceous patty (12) is contacted with a second proteinaceous patty (14) and in the area of contact projections (32) are inserted through the first patty (12) and at least halfway into the second patty (14). The apparatus comprises a holding means (18) for maintaining the shape of the patties (12,14) during knitting and a knitting plate (26) containing a plurality of projections (32). The plate (26) is movably connected to the holding means (12) permitting movement of the projections (12,14) through a first patty (12) and at least halfway through a second patty (14). An ejection means (44) is also provided which is movably attached to the knitting plate (26) permitting removal of the knitting meat patties (12,14). |
