I don't know why we don't make chicken nuggets out of plant protein regularly now. They don't taste like chicken, they don't have the texture of chicken, and I honestly don't think kids care as long as it's shaped like a dinosaur.

There actually are some good plant-based chicken nuggets out there too. For instance impossible nuggets are pretty good

I think my favorite fake nuggets are "Simulate" brand, and the box always gives me a kick. I don't like the beyond meat nuggets, but I like their burger patties. Gardein stuff is also good. However, I've been a vegetarian so long I'm a bad judge of what tastes like meat.

I seriously stop and chuckle at the box art every time. I'm not really a "nugget" person whether they're chicken, chick'n, or otherwise, but I adore that box art.

I'm not a vegetarian (yet, I'm working on some food aversion stuff), but my girlfriend is. I've actually had the chance to try the Beyond nuggets, and I agree that they're not that great. The texture just wasn't right when I had them.

I always give my niece and nephew plant based nuggets. When they ask me what it is i just tell them "nuggets". They love it.

We had some recently that were just breaded cauliflower and they were pretty good.

Cauliflower in an air fryer, just alone, is pretty amazing

Vegetables being their own thing instead of pretending to be meat is the best.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but a chicken nugget is barely meat to begin with

My nephew will only eat meat that is in Dino nugget form, I'm sure the reverse is true for most meat eating children.
