I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren’t chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it’s not like I haven’t eaten a chicken nugget in years, they are legit. Definitely recommend trying them if you are trying to cut your meat consumption or even if you are just curious.
They make animal shaped and spicy versions too
Not eating meat/animal products the majority of the time
I would like to go full on vegan but I have sensory issues with food so it’s a long work in progress while I find enough vegan options I like
Much like every other time people complain about “labels”, it’s a quick way to describe things without going into detail.
A label for an arbitrary ratio of eating plant to meat products doesn’t convey anything. It does add the need for people to ask what the label means though, which is the opposite of a quick way to describe, especially since the ratio had nothing to do with the topic at hand. Just mentioning that you are comparing them to regular nuggets was enough.
Labels like vegan, vegetarian, and the one where you only eat seafood have meaning. A vegan who hasn’t eaten a nugget for years provides some context on their take about taste and texture not being a recent comparison.
