I generally like beyond products (they’re pretty much the only soy-free commercial vegan protein option), but that just looks…bad.
I’d be surprised if this isn’t photoshopped
I agree. If it looks like that on the inside, why show the cross section?
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 still put it in my mouth
Have yall actually looked at the inside of a shitty fast food chicken nugget? They dont look that much better.
chicken nuggets look much worse
But marketing images tend to dress the food up more, spraying some cooking oil and getting a bright light would make the image a lot better.
This is what the actual marketing photo looks like btw
Most other pictures of the inside also look like this, I think the other photo sliced them with a sharp knife
You guys were all propagandized, these were pretty good.
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.
I get Beyond Burgers often, and they at least have some texture on the inside. Not exactly like hamburger, but it looks appetizing. The above image is just white paste on the inside. They could certainly do better.
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.
Impossible to get in the EU haha
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.)
Our city had taste tested them for a while. Not very good
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. )
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
What the hell are you buying?
Pretty sure it was some brand with a green and yellow label. Can’t recall exactly what it was.
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.
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.
Why is Noam Chomsky on the logo?
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.
