Have been almost completly vegetarian for the last 4 and a half years and was pretty much a carnivore before that, so I feel this is as unbiased of an opinion as is possible.
The Beyond, Gardien, Impossible, etc fake chicken have more flavor, nearly indistinguishable texture, are just as juicy, and aren’t greasy. At this point, I consider them better than regular chicken with the sole exception of fried chicken which was never my favorite but I can see the appeal of it.
I’ll concede that the beef substitutes have a ways to go (I like them and they’re not bad but they’re not fooling anyone, either) but they’re not the subject of this opinion.
How is it chicken if it doesn’t have meat?
I call it Chicken’t
Ayy, me too. Bacon’t is another one I enjoy. Glad I’m not the only one with this daft sense of humor!
😆 I’m stealing this.
Unless it’s from the animal suffering and dying region, it’s just sparkling protein
Same vibe as chicken without feathers. Still chicken tho
When you buy “chicken” at the store, is it referring to the animal, or the flavor and texture?
Meat from the animal.
Absolutely the animal. There is no other meaning of the word chicken when buying chicken that means that it is not chicken.
Edit: unless it’s an adjective like “chicken substitute”
How do you buy “chicken flavour” or “chicken texture” at the store?
