The thymus gland.
Best bit of the whole bird.

 

[Riklet]

The scraped off the bones bit.

Mashed up beaks and claws

it's the bit your mother warned you about

Of course not, they need fattening up first

 

[emanymton]

All the best bits.

 

[moochedit]

Trust me you don't want to know! Just eat them and don't ask questions. Ignorance is bliss

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Mechanically separated goodness.

Is that where they go after the blender? I figured it would be too much hassle to separate all the fluff out.

 

[quiet guy]

That's why they have a wash to separate the fluffy stuff from everything else.

I always thought it was the bits they hosed off the floor at the end of the day. It is still technically 100% breast meat if it was hosed off the floor in the area where chicken breast was being prepped.

It doesn’t work like that. The volume of nuggets required is too large for a factory to produce sufficient reliable quantities by simply using the waste of another production line.

People say the same thing about e.g. teabag tea being dust from the floor of loose leaf tea production, or corned beef being leftover noses and anuses. It’s not the way it works.

Out of all the things you have mentioned, I am probably biased against chicken nuggets tbf. I love teabags (which I know aren't made up of dust and shavings) and I love corned beef (which I know at its best is very very lovely salt and peppercorn cured brisket)

I won't eat processed chicken shit like this - you don't know where it's been or what it actually is.

 

[Ms Ordinary]

Plus (for me) it's like hotdogs - if I'm actually craving nugget-ness or hotdogs, I can get all the processed-ness & nostalgia I'm craving from a veggie version.

Kind of shocking that the very cheapest chicken nuggets & meat hotdogs are cheaper than fake ones, still.

Same with any packaged food or drink.

I guess when everyone hears the words "chicken nugget" they`re thinking McNuggets. There are some finer establishments that serve, well finer nuggets. And no offence to Mr. FBM, but unless you`re raising your own chickens you`re probably probably purchasing chicken meat that has been processed to some extent. You don`t know what they`ve been fed, how much water has been injected to raise the weight, and god knows what else has been done

Don't worry about it. It'll be fine. Just add some salt and ketchup and tuck in!

It's very rare that I eat chicken - not that big a fan of it.

That'd make it even worse.

 

[Epona]

I've actually never eaten a chicken nugget. Just never fancied one. I think they might have been invented (or eventually made it to Surrey) when I was already an adult (although we never had fast food when I was a kid - too far away from town and couldn't afford it) and they never appealed.

Twats.

The fact that you can get 100% veggie version that taste exactly the same suggests that there may not be that much 'meat' involved in a chicken nugget.

 

[Badgers]

It is the leftover bits mechanically produced from the carcass.

Not a fine cut of meat but if we are to eat meat then none of the animal should be wasted. I eat chicken nuggets/dippers and they taste fine. Also they have (from memory) ever upset my stomach or been unpleasant.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

If fish can have fingers then chickens can have nuggets, but one sounds dodgier than the other.

Which kind tastes exactly the same?
