Vegetarian Chicken't Nuggets, Reviewed

Impossible: These aren't good chicken but they're good nuggets.

Quorn: Pretty good taste, weird flaky texture, eldritch manufacturing process, DO NOT EAT MORE THAN ONE SERVING IN A DAY, TRUST ME ON THIS.

Beyond: I'll be honest, there's a lot of veggie-nugg brands with green packages and bold sans-serif font and macho one-word names. I don't remember what made this one different.

Morningstar: If you opened a plain white box with "FOOD" printed on it, and found these, you would feel very neutral about it.

Alpha: Fine.

Gardein: My usual staple, just okay but cheap and reliably in stock.

Gardein Ultimate: For $3 extra, upgrade to Gardein Business Class! It is better but does it actually cost more to make or is this just an upcharge because it's more recent nuggetification technology

Simulate: Honestly the best taste and texture because they're not afraid of fat, but they're so fucking techbro about it.

Field Roast: ...doing their own thing.

It seems perverse to make Dino nuggies out of plants. They're supposed to be made of real dinosaurs! Go make, idk, lepidodendron nuggies

What? No. It's the other way round. Making dinosaurs into dino nuggets is the perverse action because they are already dinosaurs and thus cannot be further improved. If you have a perfectly good live dinosaur, never turn them into a smaller lumpier breadier deader dinosaur. Make your small lumpy bready dinosaur out of plants and/or mushrooms in order to increase the amount of dinosaur in the world.

this is honestly the biggest issue I've had with a lot of vegan/vegetarian dishes that pretend to be meat-alternatives as opposed to just... traditional dishes that happen to be entirely vegetables and were around before "vegetarian" was a word

ratatouille is fuckin delicious and entirely plant-based but it doesn't shy away from, like, having oil in it

for me it's this, and being sensitive to soy, especially soy protein concentrates - they give me thunderclap migraines - that has been keeping me from enjoying basically anything vegan/tarian.
please, for the love of god, use black beans (especially for flavor!), use dried and baked tomatoes, use mushrooms, use legumes other than soybeans, just please stop stuffing the ingredient list with 90% soy filler. I get it, soy's cheap, cheaper $w/w than meats, but vegan food sure ain't

Hey, the Beyond nuggets are in a RED package with a bold sans-serif font now.

But yeah I think the most remarkable thing about them is how unremarkable they'd be if they weren't plant-based, honestly. They taste exactly like basic chicken nuggets which is... totally fine by me.

I haven't eaten them in a while because my housemate whom I no longer live with was the one who would buy them, but Gardein's the one I've had most often (...although now I can't remember if it was regular or Ultimate) and, yeah, pretty much that. They are Okay.
