Impossible nuggets are pretty wild (kbin.social)

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

The best plant based chicken nuggets I had, I can't remember the brand name (id recognize the package tho). But even then, they had a texture more akin to a stack of paper than chicken. Still, I'd get 'em again. The texture wasn't off-putting, just a little weird.

The texture was from it actually being some kind of leaf just wrapped around itself tightly, though. It wasn't, like, lab made weirdness. Just creatively made and flavored salad.
