BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[YouSir]

Chicken shop hot wings are great, from the right shop anyway. Wings meal and one piece on top is the default choice for me.

 

[YouSir]

Also US bar wings are ok, too messy mind.

I've never understood why pieces of chicken that are 2 thirds bone are so popular.

More fun to pick apart and gnaw on. Also higher ratio of crispy skin to bland flesh. In China wings are the expensive bits and boring chicken breasts are the cheapest cut.

Trade deal in the making right there

Are you a chicken wing man?

I'm a middle class person off urban. Not particularly into chicken wings.

Shame, I was hoping for a rogue bone

YOU are 60% water - You are 40% human?

Factor the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, calcium and phosphorus into that equation and I think you’ll find you’re a small sachet of iron filings and a few mineral salts.

It's raising awareness and getting people to think about it. Given that they already offer two other vegan burgers on their menu, it is targeting those that are wavering or a vegan-curious (like myself).

It's actually very clever. And all the hysterical types tweeting about how it's not vegan and you've got to be vegan or not vegan are missing the point by quite some distance. a) It isn't vegan and it isn't meant to be, and b) it isn't aimed at vegans, it is aimed at the vegan curious.

That’s a fair point, if you’re just a teeny bit veg*-curious and don’t want to risk an inedible burger on a night out, it makes sense.

I'm not convinced that talking about this company on Urban, especially in the largely negative way it happens, really does anything significant to raise their profile. I reckon all that marketing money they spend would be the main driver. Maybe they're getting boosted by "influencers" on social media with millions of followers. How many people are active on Urban these days? Especially since web forums are old hat now.

I endorse this message, and would be pleased to see such rationality extended to other threads.

Can throw in the chickens' feet for good measure

Batter/dark meat ratio I think is the main thing. Have to be done well obviously. And have lots of them.

Chicken breast is dry and bland. Thigh meat is where the proper action is.

They're ok, I just don't think I've ever had mind-blowing chicken wings, though everyone else seem to rave about them.

These can be bloody awesome. It's probably for the best I don't have a frier, so they are a faff to make and clean up from...

Utter cunts. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to support this greenwash bullshit.

It really doesn't make me that angry. More exasperated with the people who buy into this kind of shit.

'Twas ever thus. To me, it's no biggie in concept; sustainably reared meat, with some non-meat stuff too, attract some veg*-curious types.

Personally, the fact that it looks like the bun has gone mouldy is more troubling.

It's vacuous, pointless, greenwash PR driven by current trends profiteering that should always be ridiculed and challenged.

When it's a totally vegan outfit doing this you always seem fully onboard.

Maybe that's because they're not a fake punk, equity-promoting, sexist bunch of shitehawks making token gestures while promoting and shifting tons of meat every week.

Ah. Would have been clearer to have said that the first time.

Dunno, didn't look.

That fundraiser’s doing splendidly!

 

[teuchter]

Greggs do a vegan sausage roll and piers morgan loses the plot.

Brewdog do a half vegan burger and half of urban loses the plot.

These companies know their target markets, for sure.

This made me actually lol, dunno why I was first to like it
