Oh everything is fake. I like fake nuggets![]()
It looks like soft-serve strawberry ice cream aka deliciousness.
This was before they went 'white meat'. I had never had a McNuggest my entire life, seriously until I was about 23-24. I bought the meal and ate it just cause my coworker would eat them all the time. I felt tired, ty, lethargic and actually threw up afterwards. Never again.
Still gonna eat my McNuggets lol. Good .
Cue the 15 page thread by spurfan arguing how all these fast food places are better, etc..
you should see the finished product after its processed (by me)
"Would You Like Ammonia-Laced Pink Slime with That Burger?"

That looks like the same stuff they make pink rubber erasers from. I've probably eaten more erasers than chicken nuggets in my lifetime.
Have you seen the Married With Children episode with Jim Jupiter? That'll explain what happened to you.
HEB makes a new nugget that has a whole grain breading. I accidentally bought it one time, and it was actually really good, especially for a store brand food.
BI Editor's Note: According to this site, the whole chicken carcass is not ground into this pink goop--just the meat-like stuff (tendons, etc.) And they don't generally use ammonia, though it occasionally leaks into the mix.

damn, there are a lot of ingredients in a chicken mcnugget:
White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary). Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), es, wheat starch, whey, corn starch. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent. (May be different in regions other than the United States).
Seriously. You'd think reading all of that somehow they'd be bigger.![]()
Anti-foaming agent?!?!?!
Chicken shouldn't foam
It's so you don't foam after eating that crap
HEB has pretty darn good store brand food, not quite kirkland signature, but definitely better than all of the other store brands available in San Antonio.
Another surprise you might want to try, whole wheat tortillas. I have started to make sustainable changes in my diet (i.e. not going too far for fear that I will just quit). I LOOOOOVE flour tortillas and I really didn't want to buy them, but thought I should at least try. These are much better than flour tortillas. I wouldnt change back to regular white flour tortillas again. Freakin great!
I'll give that a try. I've done the same. I wasn't sure how my kids would take to wheat (I used to hate it) so I started buying whole grain white. But turns out my kids do love wheat bread so I'm moving on to that.
Also, I stopped breading anything I fry and if I do fry, I do it in olive oil. I'm drinking more tea as a step down from drinking soda. And so on and so forth. So any other suggestion to help me make steady progress towards healthy eating is a welcome one.
Although I do enjoy the occasional bad food, such as a chicken nugget.
Whole wheat pasta. Takes a little longer to boil, but other than the spaghetti it tastes pretty damn good (and the spaghetti isn't bad, just not good).
Yeah, I've tried it. Problem with eating healthy is that it's not always budget friendly to say the least.
When I cook ground beef, I also go for the 9o/10 sirloin or higher. Again, a little costly, but the grease isn't as bad.
And when I eat chicken, always boneless, skinless chicken breast. You have to be careful because it can dry out very easily.
Tried it once, the texture isn't the same.
Yeah, and while sirloin steak is good, when it comes to ground meat, the grease gives off most of the flavor.
As for texture, get the stuff that's packaged in the store, not the prepackaged stuff. It's the same meat, but the grinding process in the store (and yes they do grind it in store) gives it a different texture. I think it's the way it's compacted into chubs (that's what they're called) that changes the texture.
I get the 95/5 GB or 90/10 too. Luckily the farmers markets around here also have grass fed beef that you can buy by the pound.
