Impossible nuggets are pretty wild (kbin.social)

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

Not to sound like an asshole, but tf is a flexitarian? I personally mostly eat veggies but meat isn't off the table, I think of myself as an omnivore. Am I missing something?

Also, Beyond is my favorite veggie-meat - it's close enough but not quite spot on. Impossible doesn't taste quite right to me but I can't put my finger on why.

Flexitarian is apparently someone who has a primarily vegetarian/plant based diet but will still occasionally eat meat. This is a new term for me too and it's apparently what I am. I've been describing myself as a "part time vegetarian" lol.

Also impossible burgers are superior to beyond and I will die on this hill. Beyond is better at everything else though. Their ground breakfast sausage is 🤌 perfection

FWIW I think impossible is closer in texture but further in taste. I'm pretty open to meat alternatives but something about Impossible just doesn't taste quite right to me (not bad, just off somehow).

But that's just me, I can't hate on what others prefer since neither are actually bad imho
