Those Quorn nuggets don't really taste like chicken, but the texture is astoundingly close.


Is it? I hate the texture. I mean they don't actually taste like anything, but they're all, bleah!


Well, the one time I had it was in the form of "chicken" nuggets, breaded and everything.  The texture at least matched the crappy chicken nuggets I'd had in the past, and with some barbecue dipping sauce I couldn't really tell the difference between it and mechanically separated chicken.

I had the "new" McDonalds all-white meat McNuggets last night, and I believe that they *should* taste like chicken, but don't.

This is a little sad. Because now it's going to be even harder for the noble dark meat to find work.

When racism descends to the level of chicken meat, we are a sad culture indeed.

Come to think of it, white meat chicken is one of those things that ought to taste like chicken but doesn't.

I'm a big fan of dark meat.  I love to nibble on lusious thighs.

Goddammit, McDonald's, who wanted all white-meat nuggets, anyway? White-meat nuggets are all dry and nasty. Dark meat is where it's at.

Man, now I'm getting bitter and pedantic about frickin' McNuggets. My life is really some sort of shallow lie.

Who said the white meat doesn't taste like chicken? How is that true?
Y'all are getting some hella overcooked chicken is all I can think.

And McNuggets, like twinkies and moonpies, and circus peanuts, are NOT FOOD.

The white meat tastes like nothing.  All those nasty dishes cooked with white chicken meat with no bones and no skin.  Only in America, land of fear of fat and laziness about bones (meat cooked on the bone tastes better!).

I challenge even AlohaDawg to provide a recipe that makes boneless skinless chicken breasts taste like food.

Limmo's Fake Chicken Picatta

two boneless skinless chicken breasts
flour
butter
1 tbsp capers
a lemon or two
two shallots
some wine

Alright.  Chop the shallots up till they're thoroughly chopped.  Put them aside.

Cut each breast in half.  Throw some flour in a plastic bag, then stick the breasts in and shake it till it's a white Christmas.  

Melt some butter in a pan.  Cook the chicken breasts for a few minutes, but not enough to cook them through.  Take them out.

Chopped shallots into pan with some more butter.  Give them a minute or two.  Put the chicken in.  Cook.  At some point, add the capers and a bit of wine to keep the chicken from sticking and so you'll have some sauce.

When you think the chicken's just about done, squeeze the lemons into the pan.  That's it.  Stir it up and serve over rice, pasta or shredded cardboard.  

I used to have an actual recipe for this, but by now I can just wing it.  And so can you, you're not stupid.  Remember: if you have shallots, you can make good food out of just about anything.

I think that's true about shallots.  I think the trick is that they make things taste like restaurant food, because restaurants use them all the time and no one uses them at home.

Now I want to see the beautiful union of these two current threads and find out how Ghetto Chef would use shallots and ramen noodles.

The Ghetto Chef will eat the ramen out of the bag, without even heating it. The Ghetto Chef literally has no idea what "shallots" are. He would probably eat them too, as the Ghetto Chef is going through what may be his last growth spurt, and is hungry all the damn time.

I always wondered why it tasted so good.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.
