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
Personally I feel that plant based food is hurting itself by trying to imitate meat.
Instead of trying to make minced meat out of vegetable, just Calle DIY minced vigetables. Or chickpea nuggets. Or oatjuice. This way you don’t have to compare them to meat, milk or any other product. Just value it for what it is
Actually just bought a bunch of different impossible meats. The chicken nuggets are GREAT. Absolutely buying more of those, I don’t care if they’re a buck more for a bit less. They’re so good.
The steak tips, wife couldn’t eat them. She doesn’t like fatty meat and they REALLY had the consistency of fatty steak tips. I’d eat them, but meh.
Had an impossible burger the other day at a restaurant and it was REALLY good as well. I had one waaaaaaaaaaay back when they started at one of the fast food places and it was just like chalky. This was REALLY good. Probably going to have that when I want a burger and they have that as an option.
I am NOT a vegan or vegetarian or any of that. I just think if I can do this little thing to get away from meat, maybe it’ll help. The fact it tastes quite good is a win.
when I tried the impossible whopper I got a regular one too and couldn’t tell the difference. it really is legit.

What?
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
What a stupid, pointless label.
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.
Eh, context clues don’t make it too hard to guess. Google if you wanna make sure you’re not looking stupid. And then tada. No need to upset over.
I’m not sure why everyone feels the need to ask when we are on the internet… where Google exists…
I don’t know every word either but I look it up instead of complaining about it existing
