Vegetarian 'Chicken' Nuggets

More fake meat based on soya!

The reccomended serving for these little buggers is 3 per person, which seems a little stingy since they are only small. Emptied onto a plate, they are small and whitish and lumpy. The cooking instructions were vague, saying just to bake or microwave them but not how long or on what heat. Flatmate Dan decided that 5 minutes on high in the microwave should do it, and 3 minutes or so in we were assaulted by a strong smell of chicken oxo cubes emanating from said oven. Opened the door and they were hissing and popping and seemed cooked, but man, did they look unappetising:

Mmmmm. Pale lumps with a faint sheen of grease.
They were chewy, with odd gristly bits I think might have been on purpose, but why anyone would want to recreate the texture of mechanically recovered chicken is beyond me. And as for the taste? Amazingly accurate! They were just like birds eye chicken dippers or mcdonalds nuggets without the crispy coatings. Seriously, coat these in breadcrubs and deep-fry the fuckers and you'd never know the difference.
And as fot the warning of 3 per person? It's true, they are incredibly filling and gave Dan a tummy ache.
Sad little balls of misery. Avoid. (unless you are a vegetarian or vegan who misses the worst kinds of junk food)
