Chicken style pieces

Ubbquittious

I picked up a bag of them in Aldi the other day, their main redeeming feature being that they're very quick and easy to cook but this doesn't make up for the fact that they tasted like a soggy biscuit dipped in weak tea. Actually that description is way too generous, it's the closest I have come to tasting nothing. Even a glass of water or a slice of plain white bread has more flavour.

Still I'm not against the concept of chicken style pieces as there isn't the same need to properly cook them as with real chicken and the posher ones that don't come from Aldi taste better to the point they could even be considered edible. Maybe an evangelical vegetarian tried to get you to eat them once. Maybe said vegetarian even tried to pass them off for real chicken not that it would work for more than a few millisecond, either way, let us know what you make of these newfangled chicken style pieces

Chicken style pieces of what?

They are tasteless lumps. Quorn nuggets are more realistic.

Soya, potato, stuff like that. Kinda like Quorn.

Cooking a bit of normal chicken hardly requires Michelin star culinary ability.

I'm not a fan of them, but I know one person who does prefer them to actual chicken. She does eat meat, so for her it is a taste thing.

About the only meat-substitutes I would regularly eat these days would be the sausages. I don't see the need for any of the other stuff.
