Burger King Is Going Big on Fake Chicken
thetakeout.com ^ | Marnie Shure

Posted on 08/22/2022 6:40:45 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Some of fast food’s splashiest plant-based chicken rollouts have seriously impressed us in the past. First, there was the debut of Impossible Chicken Nuggets in 2021, a product that managed to capture the brothy flavor of real cooked poultry and deliver both crunch and chew without tasting springy or spongy. (Burger King tested these nuggets at various locations last fall.) Then, KFC released Beyond Fried Chicken in January 2022; these were essentially nuggets as well, and tasted “pretty spectacular,” according to our taste test.

Both of these, however, were small-format chick’n products. The Impossible Original Chick’n Sandwich at Burger King will feature a much larger patty, meaning more surface area to load with our favorite toppings and condiments. (Impossible Chicken Patties are also being rolled out to major grocery chains nationwide.)

Chick Fil A - one of my guilty pleasures. Even their diet cokes taste better, not watered down like most places.

burger king “food” must be real crap, because no where on their website can i find the ingredients included for ANY of their food ...

also, no web searches on the internet reveal the ingredients in the fake chicken products that they source from a company in Chile called NotCo ... this stuff is real mystery “food” and it’s clear that none of the companies involved are proud of their garbage “foods” ...

I didn’t see anything in the story that told readers what exactly is contained in fake chicken.

Not very reassuring.

Hiding it isn't cricket.

Burger King will quickly realize that fake chicken and fake burgers are not what the public wants.

I walked in Burger King, ordered a burger and I said “this is really good”. The staff went silent in shock and the only sound I could hear was **crickets**.

I guess it would be no surprise that fake meat is a step up for fast food places.

Like I would take culinary advice from someone who thinks fast food is food.

“I stopped eating fast food about 10 years ago.”

The same here, 20 years ago. Maintaining better health!

How does the FDA allow these companies to market products with names suggesting or explicitly declaring that they contain ingredients that they don't actually have?

Aren't these cases of outright deception?

Waiting for their "Beyond Processed Sewage Sludge" nuggets and their "You Won't Believe It's Human Flesh" burgers.

“Impossible Chicken” tested better than “Chicken-like Substance”. If fauci had stuck around, he was looking at funding a Gain of Function study on Chicken-Like Substance.
