I used to eat erasers
So did I. I still don’t know why.
Meat alternatives are getting good, but for fuck’s sake, stop frying them in the same oil as fish/chicken or grilling them where the burgers cooked. They have to figure that dilemma out if they ever want vegetarians and vegans to buy this shit. I’ll eat it because I’m into eating whatever. But my wife (lifelong vegetarian and vegan for a few of her years) who loves Beyond products has yet to try a single fast food version because it’s always the same situation. Prepared exactly where the meat is, and often comes out tasting like fish.
IMO the best vegan substitute for chicken nuggets is breaded and fried lion’s mane mushrooms. They are absolutely perfect in taste and texture for this purpose, and the best part is that they can be grown very easily and cheaply.
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.

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

You should change your nickname to “InfiniteIdiot”
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.)
Eww why would you bring a Kira post here to the fediverse. Thought we were above this kind of slop here.
I have no idea who Kira is but I don’t think this is slop. I recall seeing commercials for these things.
kfc back to schoo|
I generally like beyond products (they’re pretty much the only soy-free commercial vegan protein option), but that just looks…bad.
Quorn are bigger and better I think.
Not all Quorn products are vegan though, which is dumb.
What!? TIL. Fuck man
I’m not vegetarian, but I like Quorn nuggets more than chicken nuggets.
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.
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.
Why not just eat falafel at that point
If it was readily available in grocery stores where I live, I would. Same for seitan.
Like the other commenter said, it’s chickpea and mung beans and some other stuff.
I have a soy allergy and am intolerant of red meat, so Beyond burgers are the next best option for me. I can sometimes find pre-made bean patties but those are rarer. ¯\(ツ)/¯
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 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
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.
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.
Everything meat now days is all hotdog meat.
I bought some brawts the other day. I’ve bought that brand many times before.
But now they have the texture of Vienna sausages. Pure mush.
So nasty I couldn’t eat.
My cat wouldnt eat it either.
And I put outside for the feral animals and 2 racoons refused to eat it. Finally a possum stopped and ate a few chunks (I put it on my porch and can see from my couch if they stop by).
I honestly was surprised that the racoons passed. They will usually eat any leftovers I put out.
But that should tell us something.
It’s not human food. Not even close. Only a scavenger animal ate it.
(Also I find it’s best to just give the local animals the food cause otherwise they just rip open my trash to get to it. )
What the hell are you buying?
Look man…if you’re going to feed and attract the local wildlife ecosystem to your house, the least you can do is set up a series of webcams all over your property.
If Disney is going to stop making new material, and only make live action remakes, then you may as well record live action animals, and do voiceovers!
Disney never made a movie about the outcasts of the animal neighborhood! You can make a movie about possums, and raccoons fueding for territory, and in the end they find some respect for each other as advasaries.
C’mon. Do it! I’d watch that.
Release the animal neighborhood movie!
So many nightly visitors.
I’ve got 4 raccoons that come by. 1 with a messed up tail. One with a big fluffy tail. And a pair that are always together. One of those is super shy the other super bold.
1 black cat (rare visitor) 1 orange tabby (daily visitor) 2 medium gray tabby cats but one has brownish red tummy (1 is daily visitor, other is rare visitor) The rare one has actually came inside a few times. My cat was friendly with her. 1 light gray tabby with a bell (multiple times a day visitor). 2 gray squirrels sometimes bury things in the front porch flower beds. They come up on the porch sometimes. Never eat anything I leave out (,fruit or vegetables).
There is a female possum that comes multiple times through the evening. I’m pretty sure it’s the same one but I thought that about the racoons until I paid more attention.
If it’s multiple possums, they all appear to be females. The hanging pouch is visible from the backside.
I’ll have to get a camera set up.
Also I thought originally it was like 2 cats. Maybe they told all their friends. I had to make a limit with myself on how much food I put out cause I’m not rich.
5 scoops of cheap cat food. Plus any leftovers that are safe for them. (Leftover pasta ).
Plus my dad says racoons love marshmallows. This appears to be true so I put some out.
I have water bowls out too. And two food bowls separated so one animal can’t guard one against the other animals.
Here are a few pictures I’ve taken. I’ll have to get some of everyone.
Here is a short video
You’ll eat the fried garbage they give you and like it.
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?
I don’t think KFC is mechanically separated, the bones are still inside most of their products,how could it be mechanically separated? Then again I don’t know how KFC is in US
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.
Though I’d discourrage anyone from trying Hamburg Central Station
KFCHaha yeah, but that cannot be avoided at times
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.
They taste like that too. Never go to KFC as a vegetarian. Maybe it’s not the same as pictured, but vegetarian nuggets at KFC are horrendous
Everything at KFC in the US is horrendous. They stopped being good 30 years ago. I’ve only had good KFC outside the US.
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.
