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

They could've said they've eaten a nugget. But instead they implied that being a flexitarian equates to having eaten said nuggets or that it's so common that anyone who eats meat at all would have eaten a nugget.

It's a weird implication.

That is a really weird thing to take umbrage with.

No umbrage. Was just confused. Zero umbrage though. Umbrage.

I mean… yeah most people who eat meat have definitely had a chicken nugget in America at least. Assuming they’re from the US.

If you eat fast food often, I guess? Maybe I'm being a food snob.

I mean idk I haven’t eaten meat in ages but yeah they’re cheap and easy, and kids love them.

So far, our sample size of 3 leans against it.
