Those nuggets are barely chicken anyways. If they can make a healthier, tastier nugget then that's a win for everyone.

Are they cheaper?

Probably has more to do with spices than the chicken vs non-chicken. There are some incredible vegan-meat stuff out there because the spice game is 10/10. And I’m down for it.

Cheap chicken nuggets are trash anyways. If you're buying cheap chicken nuggets, you may as well do yourself the favor of getting the ones made of tofu instead of chicken paste.

It's the breading and the deep friedness that makes it good.

Alternative headline -

Plant based version of the absolute worst quality meat product is the only one from five that is preferable to the meat version, but only because it's deep fried and unhealthy

Come on guys

There’s cauliflower “chicken” nuggets my girlfriend and I get often. They’re WAY better than chicken.

I mean nuggets, the ones that contain mostly "meat paste" and aren't high quality chicken breast strips, those don't taste really good at all, so shouldn't be hard to beat them, they are also not something you need to beat since they are just trying to use the whole chicken the less desirable parts so it doesn't go to waste.

I'd recommend this excellent video about jamie olivers war on nuggets

From the article "Though the taste of the average plant-based product “is meaningfully behind” the animal version, one notable non-nugget exception was a blended burger."

They aren't saying that plant-based foods are tastier than meat ones. Only that there's more of a desire for them from people because of them being plant-based.

It literally says that the only thing that people didn't completely think was inferior to meat was something blended with meat lol... Besides some nuggets, apparently.

I had some plant based nuggets and they were horrible! They had all the flavour and texture of chewing a cardboard box.

So colour me skeptical.

What’s yallz favorite fake chicken nuggies?

Make them free for all. Solve hunger and reduce carbon emissions.

Our nuggies comrades.

Is that because normal chicken nuggets are so over processed now that they’re more easily defeated in taste tests?

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had “fake” chicken nuggets and they’re absolutely fine. I’d have them any time vs regular.

Love me some fake chicken nuggies.

Aldi had some plant based nuggs for a bit that were by far the best nuggets I've had as an adult. Never seen them again though, sadly.

What are the highly processed ingredients?

I wish I could still get Qorn nuggets locally. They're so damn good, like how good chicken nuggets tasted as a child. Honestly way better in every regard than an actual nuggie.
