    I generally like beyond products (they’re pretty much the only soy-free commercial vegan protein option), but that just looks…bad.

    Beyond is sub par to impossible, however, get it. Impossible nuggets are so close to actual chicken nuggets in flavour and texture that my vegetarian wife won’t eat them. They may as well be chicken so if you don’t eat meat they can be a bit too close.

      huh. that’s a worthwhile recommendation to me. i don’t eat chicken for reasons, but every once in a while i crave KFC. usually i just go to a german restaurant and order (or go home and make) some pork schnitzel and that does it for me, but i will have to try these impossible nuggets.

    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

    I was frustrated when they were discontinued because they were actually quite good. There’s not many other options for me beyond mac n cheese and green beans so I rarely go back now.

    What did you expect? It says “beyond fried” right there, as in “so far past fried that it’s condensed into rubber”. (I’m sorry, Beyond; I love you, and you’re perfect.)

    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.

    They taste like that too. Never go to KFC as a vegetarian. Maybe it’s not the same as pictured, but vegetarian nuggets at KFC are horrendous

      Everything at KFC in the US is horrendous. They stopped being good 30 years ago. I’ve only had good KFC outside the US.

    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. )

      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.

    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.
