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

Actually just bought a bunch of different impossible meats. The chicken nuggets are GREAT. Absolutely buying more of those, I don't care if they're a buck more for a bit less. They're so good.

The steak tips, wife couldn't eat them. She doesn't like fatty meat and they REALLY had the consistency of fatty steak tips. I'd eat them, but meh.

Had an impossible burger the other day at a restaurant and it was REALLY good as well. I had one waaaaaaaaaaay back when they started at one of the fast food places and it was just like chalky. This was REALLY good. Probably going to have that when I want a burger and they have that as an option.

I am NOT a vegan or vegetarian or any of that. I just think if I can do this little thing to get away from meat, maybe it'll help. The fact it tastes quite good is a win.
