So "researchers" went to two different fast food joints, took a single nugget from each and came up with these results? Anyone else find this a ridiculously laughable study?

Anyone want to guess which chains they went to? The typical reaction is to say McD, but they've been very open about how they've changed their process of creating their nuggets (and no longer use the 'pink slime').


Also, in that Jamie Oliver clip, you'll notice the edit where they had to overdub what he was saying. That's because his original line was false and McD's would have gone after them...we already know that McNuggets are no longer made this way, and haven't been for decades.

Animal necks have delicious meat. We ran a special at my job once with lamb necks (braised and then the meat is picked off the bone), it was yummy.

Animal necks are DELICIOUS. Make a beef broth with the gnarliest neck-meat and you can find and have some wonderful melt-in-your-mouth meat to go with your soup.

I feel like anyone that has an aversion to what's in a chicken nugget wouldn't last three seconds downing traditional asian cooking.

 

[AstroNut325]

Is there any fast good chain that offers whole meat/muscle chicken nuggets?

I was expecting this picture:

Mmmmmm.... Strawberry soft serve!

 

[Chezzymann]

What the hell? Muscle, fat, and crap? Where is the meat? I think I'm going to be sick.

What did you think meat was made out of? Magic and sparkles? This post is making my head spin.

 

[Amalthea]

They should sell deep fried chicken livers. Grilled chicken hearts are also delicious.

This is all I see so this is all that matters:

I am constantly amazed at the inability of people to notice obvious sarcasm. People just want so badly to be able to correct somebody and feel smart that they are blinded to jokes.

In fact, if you ground up chicken breasts, the result would look similar to this. Raw chicken meat is not white, it's pinkish in hue.

Have you had chicken neck, there is next to nothing on it, and of course the stigma of eating CNS

 

[Kinyou]

Did anyone seriously think chicken nuggets were healthy, or even had high chicken content?

But McDonalds keeps telling us that everything is okay

Yeah, that part is super weird. What kind of resources do these guys have when they can only analyse 2 nuggets?

[Pai Pai Master]

I don't understand why people are so concerned that their crap processed junk food is made with crap parts of animals.

When you can get 20 of the fucking things for FIVE DOLLARS what is the problem? Other than the fact that you shouldn't go to McDonalds and spend $5 on 20 chicken mcnuggets for lunch.

 

[Ellasman]

I feel bad when I eat them but damn are they good.

 

[Always-honest]

Bwahaha. Dear lord this is funny.

I am constantly amazed at the inability of people to notice obvious sarcasm. People just want so badly to be able to correct somebody and feel smart that they are blinded to jokes.

Or, its very hard to detect sarcasm on the internet and lots of people can't tell if they are joking or not. Also, ironically, you seem to be badly wanting to correct these people's errors too.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Hey, at least it's made of chicken. It's not like they're lying to you.

 

[blackflag]

This is too generalized. Chick-fil-a nuggets are just pure chicken

 

[meltingparappa]

This is too generalized. Chick-fil-a nuggets are just pure chicken

All of these are pure chicken.

Well you know... salt, sugar, spices, breading, etc.

Just deep fried in homophobia...

 

[Mindlog]

Oh god no. Please don't tell me what is in blood pudding.

 

[superpickleman]

I haven't had this since well before my 20s but now I want a plate of chicken nuggets with Tapatio.

 

[Liquidsnake]

The ones I buy from Trader Joes, seems to be breast meat.

 

[maliedoo]

I don't see why this is a surprise, most fast food, or processed food include random crap, just worded differently.... I especially love it when it says "and other natural flavors" wtf does that mean?

 

[SteveWinwood]

shocking

muscle in MY meat?

i dont think so

I've had chicken neck. It's not the worst thing in the world. And great for stocks/broths.

 

[Metalmarc]

I'll take a box of 20 nuggets n 4 dips please

 

[Red Liquorice]

Eyeholes, earholes, arseholes.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Is it bad that I am surprised the meat content is so high? I thought it would be 10% or something.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I could go for some chicken nugget

 

[titiklabingapat]

Nothing is wrong with chicken organ stuff and chicken fat. Some of the best tasting and most nutritious part of an animal are its offal and its fat. Most of the world enjoy all parts of the meat, thank you very much. I do have issues with the added sugar and vegetable oil they add though.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Oh yeah, this thread! It actually made me go to McDonald's and grab a six piece.

These new NeoGAF ads sure are somethin'!

 

[Rafterman]

No. Chick-Fil-a's are actual single pieces of breast meat. They aren't a ground up shit mixture like everywhere else. You can even order them grilled, which is what our kids eat.

 

[SapientWolf]

What exactly do people expect from cheap processed meat?

Colon cancer?

 

[MWS Natural]

Struggle chicken. Go to Chic-fil-a for your nuggets plebs!

 

[Spring-Loaded]

My dad used to tell me each nuggest held a chicken's soul.

I'm fine with those ingredients, as long as it's all from the chicken somewhere.

 

[DR2K]

Well they're delicious. So there's that.

Never saw the big deal with this picture. Looks exactly how I'd imagine super heavily processed raw chicken would look. Do people honestly believe chicken nuggets are strips of breast meat or something?

The ones from Chick-fil-a are. It's not hard to tell which ones are made from solid pieces of chicken and which have been made from ground/processed meat.

I don't really mind the thought of eating processed meat that's breaded and fried (deep-fried sausage sounds pretty damn good), but the resulting nuggets have always ranged from sub par to disgusting imo, with McNuggets being particularly heinous.

 

[Ferrio]

Team boot representing!

 

[Extra Sauce]

I like to alternate between sweet & sour and bbq sauces... sometimes I'll go for a bit of honey to treat myself.

Alright I need some McNuggets now. Thanks a lot OP.

 

[Quackula]

Don't care, they're still tasty.

Same thing with knowing what goes into hot dogs.

 

[MrToughPants]

Breaded chicken fillets are expensive but I got two Open Nature boxes on sale...eat em plain theyre so good.

[Lucian Cat]

Eww. This is why I make my own with fresh chicken breasts. None of this crap

 

[Sibylus]

Suddenly craving some McNuggets
