I used to eat erasers
So did I. I still don’t know why.
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.
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.
Everything meat now days is all hotdog meat.
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. )
What the hell are you buying?
Pretty sure it was some brand with a green and yellow label. Can’t recall exactly what it was.
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.
C’mon. Do it! I’d watch that.
So many nightly visitors.
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.
Here is a short video
Release the animal neighborhood movie!
0/10 no animals suffered.
0/10 no animals suffered.
That only applies if you don’t count humans who had to test/taste this crap as animals
Eww why would you bring a Kira post here to the fediverse. Thought we were above this kind of slop here.
I have no idea who Kira is but I don’t think this is slop. I recall seeing commercials for these things.
That makes the crap from my middle school lunchroom look appetizing.
oh boo hoo cry me a river, my snacks dont look the way i want.
seriously, if you think “looking like rubber” is worse than a dead animal, i have nothing nice to say.
This is what the actual marketing photo looks like btw
Most other pictures of the inside also look like this, I think the other photo sliced them with a sharp knife
The breading they used is all wrong for tofu. Just deep fry it as is,or cover it in corn starch and spices
Its not tofu
Have yall actually looked at the inside of a shitty fast food chicken nugget? They dont look that much better.
chicken nuggets look much worse
But marketing images tend to dress the food up more, spraying some cooking oil and getting a bright light would make the image a lot better.
Why is Noam Chomsky on the logo?
Honestly fried erasers sounds better than their normal fare.
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 wasn’t fully hardened and you could slurp the “chicken” 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.
You guys were all propagandized, these were pretty good.
They don’t even look like animal torture 😔
This isn’t about how good they actually are, but how good they look.
Considering people were just fine buying bubbly pink meat chicken nuggets from McD’s until the press decided it was their clickbait du jour I don’t think it would be a problem. I buy Impossible nuggets fairly often, they’re 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.
