Pillow mouth

Very awesome! It's interesting that no mention is made of transglutaminase, the enzyme that allows that goop that he had to be formed into nuggets.

Molecular Gastronomy chefs like wylie dufrense of wd-50, jose andreas of minibar, and alex and aki of Ideas in Food have used this enzyme in the production of haute cuisine. Wylie is famous for using it to create shrimp noodles. Essentially, he blends the heck out of shrimp and then adds a very specific amount of transglutaminase, which he calls meat glue. Then he extrudes the mixture into water that is kept within a fraction of a degree to the proper temperature for cooking shrimp. The result is long thin noodles that are made entirely of seasoned shrimp.

Meanwhile in colorado, aki and alex got a hold of some meat glue and had some success gluing chicken skin onto tuna. They report that it is super awesome- I just guess we have to take their words for it.

Chicken Nuggets are totally fake food. Good on the kid for figuring it out.

My respect to Jamie Oliver.

I watched that whole series of JO trying to revolutionize british school food. After actually seeing what shit is served to these kids I am really glad that I ate at home.

Much respect to Jamie Oliver. He's got his head screwed on.
I stopped disliking him when I watched Jamie's School Dinners brilliant series.

I downloaded the School Dinners show and it was fascinating.. from the perspective of how difficult it was for him to change attitudes. Eventually, marketing and directly working with the 'opposition leaders' (as this clip shows) was the most effective.

PM me for a torrent link to the school dinners shows

There was a follow-up episode a few months ago, he went back to the schools, found out they weren't receiving the promised funds. He then went to the top, had a meeting with Tony Blair and secured a shitload of funding over the next 10 years.

He's got balls.

Meatballs.

Funny. I only watched his show in German. Never heard his real voice. Over here he sounds like a 15 year-old, very strange voice. Maybe the folks responsible thought that this would make him "younger" or what...

He himself sounds 20 years older.

Did he say "I'm gonna show them whats in their "f#cking nuggets" at the beginning? Or did I hear that wrong? Haha.

Its amazing how many people don't know what 'mechanically separated' means. It sounds so innocuous until you see it in action.

Always wanted to see this show but never had a chance. Like the casual swearing (yes, you did hear correctly x7).

LOL, "this is all the 'E' numbers" - in Europe you see Exxx, representing all the fake crap in food. Excellent clip!

Mechanically seperated is just like "flogging" or "scourging" - it's in the Bible, it happened, and yet people freaked out when the Passion showed it for what is is.

Our culture is too freakin' anti-septic for its own good.

@djsunkind, teh "E" reference is the off-hand references to what you cited.

<3 jamie oliver for years now!

meh, the dog food they gave us at my schools didn't seem to slow me down too much... no sense in spoilin'em, jamie!

These are nutritionally viable pieces of meat that would otherwise be wasted. It's only the irrational 'ick' factor that's keeping people from eating them. Chicken nuggets are just a modern extension of the sausage, providing for efficient and economical butchery.

Jamie Oliver is teaching irrationality and inefficiency, all the while being applauded as the saviour of British schoolchildren.

Who care's what's in them? nuggets are damn tasty. God bless Robert C. Baker.

First of all, Jamie says that this is a "really bad version of mechanically separated..." OK, so what's the usual way? How is it actually done?

Next, when Jamie performs this demonstration in the U.S., he introduces the subject by clearly stating that "this is not now chicken nuggets are made in the U.S."

Finally, I see little difference between how "chicken nuggets" are made and how sausages are made - or does Jamie Oliver not approve of sausages, either?

Truth be told, there isn't a meat product out there that kids wouldn't say "ew" and "gross" if they were forced to watch it being made from start to finish, so this particular demonstration just isn't all that impressive.

For the record: yes, I eat pretty much anything; yes, I think Jamie Oliver is an awesome teacher; yes, I appreciate what he's done for school food programs. I just prefer straight truth to exaggeration.

Sad how Jamie couldn't break though the corporate red tapes of American media. His American show has absolutely no content compared to his original show in UK.
