I think eating insects will be the next big thing to cut down on meat consumption. They already feature a lot on the menu in other parts of the world. High protein and can be pretty tasty prepared right.
I wonder if this would be acceptable to vegetarians as an animal meat substitute.

I suspect a vegitarian might classify an insect as an animal. :whistle:

I've got a point though. :smile:
Oh no you haven’t :rolleyes:....
Whole chicken breast (no thigh or skin or fat), no egg, no dairy, no Palm oil. In the coating Wheat and Maize flour, bit of natural starch, bicarb for the bubbles in the tempura. Fairly low in salt. Fried in Rape/Sunflower oil blend. Manufactured under very tight controls in world-leading facilities.
Only the cream of Food Technologist get to work with such a fine product....

There is a café near St Davids which specialises in just that. I've yet to try it, but I will sometime.

I was looking forward to a sausage roll for tea, but this was nothing like a sausage roll. In the bin, it went. T'was 'orrid, it was.

The answer to this (and many other food woes) is brown sauce. I asked for a sachet in Greggs. They don't sell them but the nice person behind the counter gave me a styrofoam cup full of the stuff.

If anyone ever goes to a West African restaurant or cafe or has access to one palm nut soup is worth a try if you want veggie. It's very meaty tasting you could almost mistake it for gravy. Usually includes fish or chicken but you can eat it without.

They aren't as good as KFC strips though, still have a processed texture whereas the Colonel's feel like chicken and nothing else.

To be fair I've never seen them being made, although I have watched their burgers being made in this country, and was quite surprised at how red and unfatty the mince was.

So are you saying the composition of Chicken Muck Nuggets has changed since the 2016 recipe that contained such nice stuff as Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil?

In the EU, Russia, the middle East and Asia they never contained those things in or for a lot of years before 2016. America is something else though.
Interested where you got that info. from.

Personally speaking, I'd not consider it vegetarian as insects are sentient. Though in all fairness, as a "vegetarian" I have milk in my tea and eat eggs. I have thought I should be called a vegedairian :smile:
