Honestly fried erasers sounds better than their normal fare.
I remember as a kid my mom used to buy this one brand of cheap chicken nuggets that was essentially a slurry of birds that was breaded. Being the fatass I was growing up, I found out through impatience that undermicrowaving it by a minute meant the filling wasn’t fully hardened and you could slurp the “chicken” out of the nugget like that big brain bug from starship troopers lol
Anyway - all this to say is that the photo of the filling in these reminds me of those.
You guys were all propagandized, these were pretty good.
They don’t even look like animal torture 😔
This isn’t about how good they actually are, but how good they look.
Considering people were just fine buying bubbly pink meat chicken nuggets from McD’s until the press decided it was their clickbait du jour I don’t think it would be a problem. I buy Impossible nuggets fairly often, they’re great. Wish they were a little cheaper.
Loved it when Panda Express had their Beyond Original Orange Chicken. Hadn’t had that food for years before they brought in a vegan protein option.
Need more vegan protein options everywhere!
Vegan here. I’ve had soy chicken nuggets and they’re actually really good. Soy is closest to chicken from the get-go so its the easiest thing for it to replicate, in my opinion.
So I have no idea what happened here, this looks foul. Wtf
You mean this looks fowl?
… I’ll see myself out
claps slowly as you exit the room
As a curious non-vegan who tried to cook soy meat at home: do you have any tips and tricks to make it actually resemble chicken?
From what I tried, I could not reach anything resembling meat. Yet, I’d love to give it a spin.
I’ll admit I don’t know how to best make it resemble anything ^^ When I went vegan I came to realize that most of the flavour of meat is in the seasoning, but I never cared if the tofu or whatever actually resembled the meat it was seasoned like.
Now you may ask how to season it properly, and I’d love to tell you, but I’m such a new cook that I can’t. Names of spices elude me, which is part of the reason I need strict recipes to remember how to do shit. I enjoy cooking, I just can’t remember any of it lmao
Tldr: I’d love to help you, but you happened to ask the most useless person for that advice hahaha I’m sorry
It’s fine lol, most of the time I use something like the mysterious “chicken spices” or something :D
But what you did tell me confirms some of my own insights. Thank you!
Huh? This would be stupidly much better; I live near a KFC and the cockroaches outside, the dead animal smell and just the grease in the surrounding area is atrocious. I wish they’d knock that shit down and sell real food rather than the mechanically separated, likely tortured animal carcasses they dump on the public. How morally bankrupt or tuned out do you have to be to eat in these places?
Wild how different fast food chains are in different countries. Never had that smell or have seen cockroaches anywhere near a German KFC. Though I’d discourrage anyone from trying Hamburg Central Station KFC
It’s the way they dispose of grease, I believe. I think there are less regulations in the US than elsewhere. That or the minimum wage workers just don’t give a shit.

Not just fried erasers, but breaded fried erasers. You’re welcome.
Well yeah. The breading soaks up grease which is needed to help it slide down. Otherwise the eraser would get stuck.
You don’t have to do all them to me anymore, I’m already on board!
I was frustrated when they were discontinued because they were actually quite good. There’s not many other options for me beyond mac n cheese and green beans so I rarely go back now.
I generally like beyond products (they’re pretty much the only soy-free commercial vegan protein option), but that just looks…bad.
I’d still put it in my mouth
It’s not soy ? What is it then?
Also what’s wrong with soy? I’m assuming there’s some health restriction I’m not aware here.
Beyond uses chickpea protein. Soy allergies are pretty common.
I’d be surprised if this isn’t photoshopped
I agree. If it looks like that on the inside, why show the cross section?
and why would it look like that? Making it an attractive shape is not difficult and that’s the whole point of fast food joints!
If this is even remotely real i’ll eat my tiny comedy fondant hat that i always wear.
Quorn are bigger and better I think.
I’m not vegetarian, but I like Quorn nuggets more than chicken nuggets.
Not all Quorn products are vegan though, which is dumb.
What!? TIL. Fuck man
Quorn has always been pretty nasty in my experience.
Beyond is sub par to impossible, however, get it. Impossible nuggets are so close to actual chicken nuggets in flavour and texture that my vegetarian wife won’t eat them. They may as well be chicken so if you don’t eat meat they can be a bit too close.
i mean really, just bog standard grocery store vegan nuggets made from wheat protein or whatever are perfectly fine. Not identical to chicken nuggets by any means, but with some fries and dip i certainly don’t care about the difference and i very much appreciate the massive amount of fibre they contain.
I had a smoked salmon substitute like that. The textural resemblance was unsettling
Do you remember what brand it was?
Bizarrely, it was the store brand from Rewe, if you’re in Germany
I found the flavor too be very close but the texture to not quite be right. A little off-putting. I’m hoping they continue to improve because I think they could get there.
huh. that’s a worthwhile recommendation to me. i don’t eat chicken for reasons, but every once in a while i crave KFC. usually i just go to a german restaurant and order (or go home and make) some pork schnitzel and that does it for me, but i will have to try these impossible nuggets.
Impossible to get in the EU haha
I like eat me at, they’re a bit too close for my liking too. Idk if you can get it anywhere else though. Haven’t tried making nuggets out of it yet
What did you expect? It says “beyond fried” right there, as in “so far past fried that it’s condensed into rubber”. (I’m sorry, Beyond; I love you, and you’re perfect.)
What I think a lot of beyond meat lacks is strands surrounded by salt, iron, and fatty acids for optimal taste and texture. Their ground sausage is bomb, because its all the good stuff blended up, but the chicken nuggs? Not so much.
meat

That doesn’t identify a brand, making it less effective communication.

You should change your nickname to “InfiniteIdiot”
You’ll eat the fried garbage they give you and like it.
Our city had taste tested them for a while. Not very good
