and why would it look like that? Making it an attractive shape is not difficult and that's the whole point of fast food joints!
If this is even remotely real i'll eat my tiny comedy fondant hat that i always wear.
Like the other commenter said, itâs chickpea and mung beans and some other stuff.
I have a soy allergy and am intolerant of red meat, so Beyond burgers are the next best option for me. I can sometimes find pre-made bean patties but those are rarer. ÂŻ\(ă)/ÂŻ
Huh? This would be stupidly much better; I live near a KFC and the cockroaches outside, the dead animal smell and just the grease in the surrounding area is atrocious. I wish theyâd knock that shit down and sell real food rather than the mechanically separated, likely tortured animal carcasses they dump on the public. How morally bankrupt or tuned out do you have to be to eat in these places?
Wild how different fast food chains are in different countries. Never had that smell or have seen cockroaches anywhere near a German KFC. Though I'd discourrage anyone from trying Hamburg Central Station KFC
It's the way they dispose of grease, I believe. I think there are less regulations in the US than elsewhere. That or the minimum wage workers just don't give a shit.
Iâm an American but used to have roommates from all over the world and Iâll never forget how absolutely disappointed they were with McDonalds, Burger King, etc.
Though Iâm in Los Angeles so there are plenty of incredible hamburger places (far too many) if youâre seeking it out.
I don't think KFC is mechanically separated, the bones are still inside most of their products,how could it be mechanically separated? Then again I don't know how KFC is in US
Considering people were just fine buying bubbly pink meat chicken nuggets from McDâs until the press decided it was their clickbait du jour I donât think it would be a problem. I buy Impossible nuggets fairly often, theyâre 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 wonât eat them. They may as well be chicken so if you donât eat meat they can be a bit too close.
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.
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.
i mean really, just bog standard grocery store vegan nuggets made from wheat protein or whatever are perfectly fine. Not identical to chicken nuggets by any means, but with some fries and dip i certainly don't care about the difference and i very much appreciate the massive amount of fibre they contain.
Vegan here. I've had soy chicken nuggets and they're actually really good. Soy is closest to chicken from the get-go so its the easiest thing for it to replicate, in my opinion.
So I have no idea what happened here, this looks foul. Wtf
As a non-vegan who has replaced most chicken with tofu, I'd be glad to tell you some of what I've learned! Others can definitely chime in because I'm new to this as well and might have better suggestions:
Always use extra firm tofu. Since tofu naturally has a sort of eggy consistency, getting a denser product leads to a more meaty mouth feel.
You need a tofu press. Along with getting water out of the tofu, it helps make the tofu more dense, leading to better texture as well. I'm glad to recommend the one I use if need be :) The longer time you press it, the more dense it gets.
I used an air fryer recipe to start my journey to prepare it. I've moved on to making some of my own adjustments as well:
in this recipe, they tell you to mix everything together into a paste and then try to fold the tofu pieces in to get them coated. I have had a better time placing the tofu pieces, oil, and soy sauce into a liquid-tight container with a lid, shaking it to coat everything in the liquid, then opening the lid and adding the drys, then closing and shaking again to coat.
I add more seasonings like onion powder, paprika and MSG to help it taste more meaty. I'll also add a little corn starch to help the coating be a little more crispy.
I use the above pieces as a 1:1 replacement for any recipes calling for chicken pieces, like pastas. I really think tofu works best in smaller pieces like this, as the mouth feel seems about the same as small chicken pieces. I do not recommend trying to use tofu the same as an entire chicken breast since the texture and taste differences will be very noticable.
This tofu fajitas recipe is what I used to help transition my SO and I over to eating more tofu.
Please do! I never pressed tofu before, only ate it as is, and yes, it isn't dense enough to my taste indeed.
Looked up the air fryer recipe, nutritional yeast sounds like an obvious thing I didn't try! Also, as mentioned in a different response, onion powder is an obvious thing I didn't add.
For sure! We use the this press. I like it because I can keep it in the fridge for the day while it presses for dinner, and the liquid is contained in the unit.
I'll admit I don't know how to best make it resemble anything ^^ When I went vegan I came to realize that most of the flavour of meat is in the seasoning, but I never cared if the tofu or whatever actually resembled the meat it was seasoned like.
Now you may ask how to season it properly, and I'd love to tell you, but I'm such a new cook that I can't. Names of spices elude me, which is part of the reason I need strict recipes to remember how to do shit. I enjoy cooking, I just can't remember any of it lmao
Tldr: I'd love to help you, but you happened to ask the most useless person for that advice hahaha I'm sorry
I cut my tofu into tiny cubes and air fry them. I'll add them into things like udon or stir fry, which has its own seasoning; haven't tried seasoning the tofu directly. But considering you're non-vegan, you could go with chicken bullion and you'd get most of the way there. Otherwise, a healthy amount of garlic and onion powder will do you well, maybe some beer can chicken spice.
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.
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.)
What I think a lot of beyond meat lacks is strands surrounded by salt, iron, and fatty acids for optimal taste and texture. Their ground sausage is bomb, because its all the good stuff blended up, but the chicken nuggs? Not so much.
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.
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 wasnât fully hardened and you could slurp the âchickenâ 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.
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.
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.
Meat alternatives are getting good, but for fuck's sake, stop frying them in the same oil as fish/chicken or grilling them where the burgers cooked. They have to figure that dilemma out if they ever want vegetarians and vegans to buy this shit. I'll eat it because I'm into eating whatever. But my wife (lifelong vegetarian and vegan for a few of her years) who loves Beyond products has yet to try a single fast food version because it's always the same situation. Prepared exactly where the meat is, and often comes out tasting like fish.
