I love chicken nuggets. What's not to like about it? It's little bite-size pieces of chicken that is breaded, fried and eaten with little tasty sauces on the side.
I don't want to know anything about the conditions they are created under. Factory farms are sad and depressing, you know?
The truth is, chicken nuggets are like sausages of chicken parts. all the parts that are unused, or unwanted from a chicken gets ground up, reconstituted into little patty shapes, slap a little breading on them, and are fried. Essentially, the chicken nuggets you eat is basically the floor-sweepings of a chicken processing factory.
Even the "all-white meat" chicken nuggets are the same. They are made with breast meat, so they say. It's more likely that they are made from the leftovers of "boneless chicken breasts". Once they are de-boned, the meat in between the ribs and what not are shredded, ground up, reconstituted into little patty shapes, slap a little breading on them, and are fried.
Having said that, I'd eat anything that comes in these little patty shapes with breading and fried. If soylent green came in these little shapes, I'd probably think they were the best thing ever. Forget the chicken nuggets.
Just a little food for thought from your friendly neighborhood GKA.
Bon appetit. :)
Thanks for stopping in,
Grape.

If there were no other food left on the planet, my two boys would be very happy. -

grape- I've never eaten chicken nuggets. Perhaps its because I like something else wherever they sell chicken nuggets. But I have nothing against eating animal-part-floor-scraping food. I'm sure its in other things I eat. I'll ask someone to order them sometime and taste these dudes. -

Chicken nuggets are like hot dogs. I have no idea what they're really made of, but I don't care because they taste good. Although I remember the McNuggets at McDonalds tasting better before. Now they're not as good. I kind of like the chicken strips with the real chicken instead....

Grapey.....chicken nuggets are kids food.....
I would say...."Show me the dumplings!".......;-D -
beyondtheveil said on Aug 28, 2008....
ginsoul- Have you ever eaten chicken and dumplings? Do they make those in Italy? When I talk to younger people, they usually have never heard of them. -
RollingC said on Aug 28, 2008....
Soylent Green nuggets.....hhmmmmm...sounds good. Does it come in BBQ flavor ?
I'll eat just about anything that's out there and I'm not allergic to.
How about the frozen boneless chicken breasts ? The one good thing about them is that it's a bigger chunk than a nugget.
Bread one of those and sell it as grown up chicken nuggets !
d:^)

Grapey: Okay...this post puzzles me for some reason. Is this written in "code" or something? LOL!Anywho...I ate chicken nuggets before I read this.I actually make my own at home with crushed corn flakes...sooo yum! -
gingersoul said on Aug 28, 2008....
BeyBey....in Italy we have some sort of mini dumplings that we call 'tortellini" or "tortelloni" depending by their size (the big ones are the size of a half thumb)...and "ravioli" ...
All these kind of pasta is filled with chicken or pork cooked with onion, nutmeg and eggs....and can be then prepared with chicken of beef broth or with tomato sauce.......mmm.....this stuff is so goood.....:-) -

uni: What's wrong with goat cheese? It's not any better or worse than other cheese, in my opinion. Ever hear of cheese curd? Sounds appetizing, dunnit? :)
MM&I: Was just commenting on the sad state of affairs that was my lunch. :) Home made fried chicken... Sounds yummy...
bluegum: Nice bird cooked over an open flame... Can't beat that. Kinda puts my chicken nuggets to shame...
pickers: Your two boys are wiser than they appear... Plus they have good taste(buds). Apple don't fall far from the tree, eh?
beyond: Never had chicken nuggets?!! Sure you didn't grow up in a cave? Perhaps in a cage with a bucket of fish heads a week? :D I kid. Give them a go some day. Next time you're at a fast food place. Be sure to get sweet and sour sauce with it, too. They're yumm-o!
e_t: I agree with you. McD's chicken nuggets used to be better when they weren't made with "all-white(-ish) meat". Though sometimes you'd just get a single piece of gristle(1 in 6, if I remember correctly), but even those pieces weren't bad. Now they're just kinda dry and tasteless.
The ones that have "real" chicken in them are like boneless KFC. I like those, too. Though they're a little tougher on the jaw. :D
ginger: Show you my dumplings?!! You first. ;)
Mmm... They were delicious...
BTV: Chicken and biscuits, chicken and dumplings, and chicken and waffles are all a great "southern" type foods. Man... They're every bit as delicious as they sound!!! Especially the chicken'n'waffles. Yumm-o!
RC: Soylent green nuggets... Now made with more girls! Doesn't that sound tasty? d:^) <------------------That you with a thinking cap on? :)
daily: What't to be puzzled about? It's made with bits of chicken, it's reconstituted into bite size patties. It's breaded, it's fried. What's not to like? I tried beef nuggets once. They weren't so good. I think they might be better if they were a little undercooked, though. I haven't given up hope. Everything tastes better when it's battered and fried. Heck, I'd even eat my own foot if it was battered and deep fried. :D
ginger: Mmm... I like ravioli. It's good stuff... Is it as good as those dumplings the size of softballs?
beyond: Yours? Care to describe them?

Okay I am a chicken freak, seriously I love chicken although I don't think I could go reconsituted chicken bits from unknown sorces from unknown chickens fed unknown products. Cal me particular I don't care but chicken? I'll eat chicken until I start chooking! te he hee you are such a damn bachelor! -
RollingC said on Aug 29, 2008....
AAhhhhh but would you eat ravioli battered and fried? I'm sure it'll taste better than your foot. d:^D

I love chicken nuggets, but ah....had to give up breaded and fried for some good blood labs...the sacrifices--ugh! although I did go get an order of fries after I left my dr's office the other day, kind of rewarding myself for good blood labs and sticking my tongue out at the dr. at the same time! Incorrigible! -
beyondtheveil said on Aug 29, 2008....
grape- Actually, I grew up about seventeen miles from one of the largest caves in the world. But you are right, they didn't sell chicken nuggets there. -
uniquely-ironic said on Aug 29, 2008....
I actually like cheese curd. Goat cheese is evil. Of course that's just my own personal opinion, but be forewarned that if me and goat cheese mix there's likely to be some sort of fall out. -
Lucytorial said on Aug 29, 2008....
Uni ~ You are soooo gonna hate me, Goats Curd is my FAVOURITE cheese, I always have a tub in the fridge! it goes on everything, pasta, sandwiches, crackers, fingers (yum yum) strawberries... apples, you name it I eat it with curd! -
gingersoul said on Aug 30, 2008....
Grapey...i can't - in any way - answer to somebody who uses the word "yummi-o" associated with food.....arghhhhhh.........LOL...
Sorry, Ed........don't trout-smack me now......
You and Grapey share this insane thingie for RRay....it drives me nuts.....lol....
But since i am in a good mood....i tell ya....oh, yes, both ravioli and those dumplings are just Heaven food.....pass me some, please?
BeyBey.....i will give a huge serving to you too....:-)

I forgive you just because its the first time....:-)

Rolling......well. ....this is Rachel Ray....
The problem with yummi-o and RR is that she uses this word one billion of times in less than 30 minutes ....with that kind of voice and all those facial expressions.......just delish NOT!!....lol...
But hey.......its only me...
If you ask Ed she is the quintessential of sexiness....right, Ed?....;-)
