Durham Public Schools (DPS) in North Carolina have observed an unexpected surge in student demand for plant-based chicken nuggets introduced to its lunch
Nothing is 100% the same, sure, but some vegan alternatives come really damn close and nuggets are one of them.
I’ve never tried the brand listed in the article, but I’ve had about a half dozen different brands over the years from my grocery store and most of them have been awesome. The prices are ridiculous though, that’s the only reason I don’t get them more often. I will only buy on sale.
It’s unfortunate that we are at this point where economies of scale have not yet kicked in, because once they do these things should be substantially cheaper to produce than actual chicken nuggets.
Ehh I wouldn’t bother with the trolls. No two chicken nuggets taste “the same” because they all have different seasonings.
It should not be a surprise to people that plant nuggs taste slightly different than one particular brand of chicken nuggs, but its all within the margin of variance of flavor and texture for chicken nuggs.
And, like chicken nuggs, there are some really subpar plant nuggs, but you know, don’t buy those ones. It’s not fucking hard to try a few different brands and form your own opinion.
