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

How does the taste/feel compare to TVP (textured vegetable protein)? TVP has a sponginess that is slightly unpleasant to me, but I've seen some promising advancements in plant-based meat replacements that gives them a texture closer to animal meat.

They are definitely a flakey texture inside, I would compare them to Wendy's nuggets. I am autistic so texture is a big thing for me, and it doesn't bother me. I am not even a huge nugget fan because a lot of them do have that spongey texture that grosses me out

I would recommend trying them deep fried for the best texture

Spongey nuggets are officially the worst. Why do they bounce back so hard?
